A scary thought from Ellery911

A few years ago there were fake NBS cables that I believe were coming from Asia. The merchant claimed to be an authorized NBS dealer, but when I spoke to the owner at NBS (I forgot his name), he never heard of the merchant. I would think in the field of audiophile components that cables would be the easiest to fake.

How about high dollars items that sound like crap? I'm more worried about that than I about knock-offs.

Hey Prpixel, How about that Schumi!!!

I received a fake pair of Audio Magic Excalliber speaker cables with a pair of speakers I had purchased here at AG. I didn't know any better. I had no experience with Audio Magic. I sold them here later and that is when I found out they were fake. The buyer wasted no time on informing me they were fake and that he would see me in court. Kind of embaressing. I quickly refunded his money. The cables still sit with my junk collection. Anyone interested in a pair of good speaker cables?

Just the idea of Ellery911 having a thought is a little scary!!!

I'm not worried about fake gear since most audiophiles are quite anal about what they buy and sell. They know more details about the equipment than the people who build the stuff. It's hard to fool people who are knowledgable about a particular product. You never see fake Mercedes, oh wait, yes you do, they're called Lexus.
