So what? Audioquest cables would be assembled by Chinese workers, but the design and parts and control of directionality, everything else, is Audioquest in an Audioquest plant. That’s hardly the same thing as Chinese products. So give a break. Thats like saying iPad and iPhone are made in China. It’s semantics.
Audioquest SKY Interconnects
I see on eBay what I believe are copies of the AQ Sky interconnects for around $150-$200 used USD being sold out of China. Does anyone have any experience with these cables? Are they worth a try or would I be wasting my time? The reason I am asking is that I would be probably using them in Vandersteen MP filters that I build for my Vanderteen speakers which allows me to use higher grade parts in the filters copies. Previously I used AQ Diamonback ICs with great success but I sold those when I sold my Vandersteen model 5s.
Thanks for your input/advice.

Audioquest has always made their cables in Audioquest facilities in the US. Why would they make their cables in China? If it doesn’t make sense it’s not true. from Audioquest website, “If you see AudioQuest-branded products being sold for “too-good-to-be-true” prices, the chances are very good that the products are counterfeit. Be particularly wary of AudioQuest-branded cables being offered for unusually low prices from China and Hong Kong, especially on auction or bid sites.
