Speaker cables from Asia

I see alot of offerings on speaker cables and IC's on Ebay from Asia Etc.Has anyone tried these if so how did you make out. I also have a concern that these might be like a Rolex on the streets in N.Y. look genuine but not so.
Can anyone shed a little light

Well the last thing I need is to be is squashed. One seller list Audioquest Gibraltar cables 2.5 meters with
terminations at $59.00 plus shipping. I thought they
might bogus,no way of knowing if they are the genuine article. I will steer clear of such items
Thank You

I saw a pair of what looked like Kimber 12tc from a seller in China.They looked like Kimbers but did not have any markings. The ad said 12tc but not Kimber so I guess "buyer beware" would fit here.I always think about the old adage "If it sounds too good to be true,it probably is".

If its coming from China, assume its a knock-off.

Where are the original cables from? Not trying to be a smart ass here, but if they are actually made in China, then the knock-off and the genuine item might be from the same factory.

I don't know about the others, but Kimber cables (8TC, 12TC etc) are made in USA.
