I feel like 3 out of 5 threads in this forum becomes a TMR propaganda piece. I'll give them their flowers when they do something right, and they are decent guys, but they should be able to differentiate between authentic and counterfit cables. They sell enough Siltech to know but, of all the Nordost, Shunyata, Audioquest, etc. being ripped off, why Siltech? Such a boutique brand. Just my opinion.
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?

@jreiter An audio system is neither food nor transportation. It is an apparatus the converts small recorded waveforms back into a replication of an acoustic event in a different space and time. Every element in the process is testable for its faithfulness to the original recorded waveform. Anything that detracts from the integrity of that goal is a distortion. The most challenging step is the final one, fulfilled by the loudspeakers, room and listener position. The earlier steps are relatively straightforward. The argument you are making is like a lot of things one hears…sounds sensible, but can’t be proven. |
