From a good source, the only cables confiscated by this raid were the entry level Prism series cables as they are the only ones they were outsourcing to China in order to keep their expenses down, as well as retail pricing.
RSC, Air, etc. stuff was not involved in this. I imagine they aren't alone in this, but it sounds like they were sloppy or perhaps cheating a bit on labeling.
I am 95% certain that my source is telling the truth. My reason for this certainty is if 650,000 or so cables were confiscated, to me that could easily be Tara's on hand inventory of all the Prism series wires they carry. If you say the average home theater, which is what Prism series stuff is often sold for, takes about 16 interconnects, 5 speakers cables, 2 video cables and that is probalby still low. Then 650,000 only covers 30,000 home theaters and they are selling to a worldwide market. That would be about right in my estimation. Heck if each dealer in the US alone was able to sell on HT cable package per week that would come close to exhausting their Prsim cable supply.
Nothing at stake here for me (only own a few Prism series video cables), but just getting tired of seeing Tara Labs lambasted by misinformation, when to me what they were doing is about the same as what every other assembly/ manufacturing company no matter the field is doing in these times.
