Fake Audioquest cables??

[TOOLFORLIFEFAN]

A friend of mine told me to be concerned about buying fake AQ Cables off ebay anybody heard anything like this? and how would you know?

You do have to be careful about that. I've heard of people buying Monster Cables off ebay before, and they ended up being counterfeits. I'd imagine the same will happen with AQ's.

I guess you're not really gonna know until you receive it...but watch out for overseas sellers and sellers with real low numbers. Checking their feedback never hurts either

How would one know if they (AQ's) were real or not? Are there any telltale signs?

On the box of an HDMI cable, I noticed that there was a spelling mistake, everything alse from the pics looked the same but I did notice that soelling error and I doubt the real AQ would allow that.

The imposter AudioQuest cables are really Monster Cables. You can tell by the lack of sound stage and poor imaging. :D
