Don't read you'll be sorry

Original Audioqeuest K2s are fine cables, I'm sure, but reading 210 reviews at:

I found this:

"....Anyway, overall, the product is really a fine example of craftsmanship. I've not even plugged them into a sound system yet, as I have them firmly wrapped around my testicles at the moment in an effort to keep my own sperm from impregnating my brain and taking over my mind. So far, so good - I can't speak enough about the reliability of these cables."

Just one review below I found this:

"i love beating my white slaves, or even passerby's with this product. its has a more mellow and more tonal and hence superior sound as the skin eviscerates with a goodly floqgging using these video cables whats not to like?"

I suspect some reviewers might be using them improperly.

Too much "skin" effect in that response.

Interesting tread - just checked the Audioquest retail price book, a pair of K2 Speaker cables @ 8 feet long have a MSRP of US$14050 as of November 2011.

If what is ordered from Hong Kong is the real deal then $380 certainly is a bargain :-) This however is probably one of those "to good to be true deals" - Just to satisfy my own curiosity I ordered up a pair just to see how they are made - should be interesting.

Good listening

I use the U.S. made Clear Day speaker cables. Why would I want to go backwards by using the K2's?Plus the silver used in the Clear Day come from the Silver State!

Jp, Pb... I guess they're all made there especially tubing and terminating equipment that is being used by vast majority of US manufacturers. Buy one for yourself and you're good to manufacture any wire you wish to make. Fake will look and sound SAME and that's the bottom line as long as you know what they're made of weather it's legal, not legal to manufacture or purchase, fair, not fair they're competitors now and there are reasons, facts and 'COZes' I've described above.
It's just wires and our beloved US manufacturers may deeply go down on prices of their 'gimmemomani' branded products.
