Fake Audioquest cables?


Are there such a thing? I think I may have bought one "used" from an Amazon seller.

Then you probably have a grey market cable. They are actually the same as 'real' AudioQuest cables, except they are not imported by the company. they find thier way here via grey market means.
The only problems are no warranty, and they may be seconds.
Well I bought a fake pair of Sky a few years ago from a member with good feedback until I sent my purchased pair to AQ for their inspection. When compared to a "real" pair there was a very slight jacket coloration difference as well as a different feel as to the weight of the conductors. I too fell for a deal that was too good. A legit seller isn't going to give high quality cables away...
Yea you need to be carful I got some bad Kimbers a couple years ago sent them to kimber and they wanted to charge me about $250 to authenicate because they would of had to pull the connectors off but they where pretty sure they where not there cable.
That is a common problem, Production in China can create a lot of problems...
I heard, it is mainly the Sky cable which is sold as fake?
