Cables-how can you be sure of authenticity?


I hope I don't step on anybody's toes with this post however I was just wondering if it is possible to copy expensive cables accurately and pass them off as originals?

I had an experience with a good friend who bought a very high ranked interconnect without packaging-it looked very good and whilst it sounded good we were not blown away with it's performance and I must say I've always had a doubt as to if it was the real thing.

Does this type of thing go on or do some sellers just have access to a good supply of highly rated cables without packaging?

Yep, Cary Audio is also having knockoffs from China BTW.

As if cables weren't maddeningly difficult and subjective enough to buy with exact system matching, burn in, etc now we have to factor in that it might not even be a legit product? It's enough to drive you to boom boxes.
