Elation imposters!

How do you tell the difference between real and fake?

The terminations/connectors are marked into the metal...

Thanks! for sharing- azjake.

china makes all of these fake cables/cords.

You mean the serial numbers are laser engraved into the connectors, correct?  The power cords are different however with a black band with the serial number.  Don't know what you mean about lately as there has not been much Kubala up except for recent postings by a guy who I purchased Elations from and super pleased with.  If buying used, make sure they are in the states  with clear pics of the serial numbers.  The Elation speaker cables up there now even include a pic of the packing list that the dealer gets straight ftom Kubala.  I'd buy them now but the seller has a pending sale from what I was told when I phoned him yesterday.   Funny you posted this thread exactly the same day all his cables were posted Az....
