Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?

Of course, I came here to vent!  That’s what forums are for. So get off your high horse.  So what if the topuc has been beaten to death. It’s a reality that never gets resolved, hence the continuous thread by hundreds of disgruntled audio professionals, who are trying to earn a living without being ripped off.   
 

RE: Alvin’s Cables.  They were used as an example, because they make it appear like they are an American company.  I actually asked them to make me custom audio cables, because I thought they were an American company.  
 

Every time I sent them my drawings, they would send me a link to a Chinese knockoff product, that is being sold by hundreds of other Chinese knockoff companies on Ebay.  

I went back and forth with them for months, before realizing they were not as they appeared.  They couldn’t custom make anything.  It was all reselling products. 
 

They are a Chinese company that sells knockoffs.  They are not an American company that sources Chinese cables.   
 

If you tried as many times as you've said, only to be referred to a Chinese company, one would wonder why you kept on trying. 

That was your very first post on your first day on A'gon which can make one wonder what your beef was about. How many times were you going to bang your head against that wall, expecting a different result?

As for my "high horse"...there are now three threads actively bashing Chinese made cables to add to all the others that came before and those that will keep on coming. If you don't want Chinese cables, don't buy any. How hard is that?

All the best,

I love my fake chinese cables, they sound really good and I paid my honest money for them. I know that these cables don't really have a resale value and I'm good with that. All of you virtue can go out and over pay if you want, just try not to act so pious about it.

I'm also happy with the few Chinese interconnects I bought but really I wish I had never started this post. I think all that can be said has been said so best call it a day.

The big problem I see with these knock-off cables is this... many times either the vendor or the consumer has no knowledge of the fact that they are fake! ( much worse if the vendor does actually know, and tries to pass them off as real!)

This situation leads to a cable that is really worth minimal $$ selling for an amount that is possibly comparable price wise to the real thing and leading to ongoing fraud, whether intentional, or not. Furutech cables/products come to mind here, as they have been copied extensively and sold all over with little knowledge of what is the legitimate product..and what is a cheap knock-off!!
