Siltech cables. Help to recognize originals.


Hi friends,
I want to buy some Siltech interconnect and speaker cables, Classic Anniversary series. Unfortunally newones are too expensive for me, so I´m loocking for used.
But I need your help to recognize original Siltech to the chinesse fake.
I will apreciate your help.

Conclusion: it´s practically impossible to recognize original Siltech cables nowadays ? I bought my Siltech cables 3 pairs interconnects in the very early 90´s so I guess I´m lucky as they all "sound" excellent, no sibilance nor other annoying issues whatsoever, they just reveal more details/nuances. Since then I have not even thought to go back to copper cables and I will certainly not buy Siltech or whatever they may be today.
I also have one pair of Kimber and would like to have another too. I would recommend to go for Kimber.
Great discussion guys on a very important subject. Because China does produce and sell fake goods- this is reason enough for our U.S. cable/cord manufacturers to never sell anything to that part of the world. It is a travesty. Keep the info flowing!
Get them from USA only from a member with 100% good feedback or a very good dealer.
Siltech is comming from Holland.I live in the Netherlands. I tested them in the past a lot. To be honest in my world they are not good enough in quality. I have done thousends of tests with cables. Always looking just for the best, the rest doesn't matter!
I have written to Siltech several times and have never received a reply or even an acknowledgement of receipt. So for those of you who think you could have support from Siltech to check a serial number (to verify if they are originals or fakes), forget it. Siltech is an irresponsible company that doesn't give a damn about its customers. I turned to Nordost and Audioquest with great satisfaction (I own high end audio research equipment). When a manufacturer demands a price of 4000$ for a pair of interconnect, we are entitled to have a minimum of service. For me Siltech is an ass**** company.
