If you can prove it’s fake , we’ll call TMR to give you the right price for a fake cable.
Siltech says TMR sold me a fake cable but I want to believe TMR
First off, TMR is as professional as it gets. As someone who’s worked in the backend of a business, I can plainly see the lengths they go through and time spent refining what they do. They offer a 110% authentic guarantee. At least that’s what I’ve seen, the salesman in the phone told me last night. Today I look into it and there’s no longer 110% but 100%.
anyways, there was a siltech ruby double crown power cable. I looked it up before purchasing and found page with minimal information on siltech website. The cable looked similar but very different than the one on tmr website. Maybe It’s not the same cable I thought. I dug deeper and found a lot of pictures of siltech cables with Asian language and followed the websites to find a lot of fakes. These looked closer to what was in TMR website.
so called TMR and expressed my concern. Ryan assured me they were probably real because of the process they use to identify authenticity. That put me at ease. However before calling I had reached out to the North American distributor and siltech themselves. Talked in the phone with monarch and sent him pictures via text. He never got back to me. Siltech messaged me this morning tell me the cable is not in their database and is a fake
here’s my dilemma, I’ve heard many of times about how companies don’t like people buying used because it means they’re not getting the sale. Makes sense. Is there a possibility that siltech is lying?
does anyone here have experience with siltech and ruby double crown or fake siltech in general and could help me identify?

https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2921935 anyways, problem is the resale value is complete shit. Buyers want to know cables are real and if have to be like, “well technically Siltech says it’s a fake but TMR said it’s real so….dont worry, it’s real” the other thing is this is actually kind of a big deal. These are major businesses and either one is lying, or one was fooled and they got scammed on a $50k buy in or they do know it’s fake and are trying to profit which I doubt and pray not . It just arrived at home today so I will check it out

The whole hobby is a rich man’s lottery with a game for which there are no guidelines. yet once you figure it all out you realize how perfectly played the industry plays their customers and how stupid these systems actually are. That being said, I do believe there are cable companies that are frauds. I can think of a handful right off the bat that are complete garbage yet they’re on this site nonstop with fake customer testimonials . But also as I mentioned, no guidelines and it’s very easy for people in the hobby to get wrong impressions of things because they don’t realize the bottlenecks holding back their ability to really see what’s going on. I also believe some people aren’t as capable of listeners and these types of people, simply need good tone and detail. Not true transparency. |
