my feeling on products that are being countefeited, is that what is going to stop the perp from correcting the "v" on his or her next run of outer shielding?
sort of off topic, but when I buy used, I always suspect something could have happened to the product in its former life. it could have been modded, broken, repaired incorrectly, or whatever.
I use my ears to judge if something is up to snuff, which brings me to my point, not sure if you will ever know what you have, I say listen to your ears, if it sounds great, or as good as other comparable cables, she's a keeper. if she doesn't sound right, good chance you got a bad one.
FWIW, I purchased some Dynaudio Car speakers off ebay which I later learned were fakes, they were installed and fooled an authorized dealer, and the best thing is that they sound wonderful and cost me 1/3 of the real ones.
