I am not a big cable guy. Maybe someone with some experience with them will stop by. *check*

when ordering from china there is always the danger of receiving a fake.
There are honest sellers and black sheeps. Try to find one with a good reputation.

Personally I wouldn't order any foreign brand name cables from Far East.

I have gotten some nice power cords from China. I don't know about AQ out of China though. Sorta smells.

Yes, indeed. But I did order a $25 "nordost" 1/8" cable just as a test how bad it would be.

Surprised that it was actually just as good as $10 generic brand 1/8" cable from U.S. Don't know it is better, but it certainly isn't worse.

The fella who sells $25 "Nordost" 1/8" cable has 100% positive feedback rating.

Unless you send a sample of the Gibraltar cable down to AQ, you are never going to know if it's real or not. Same with the interconnects.

So, the cables arrived on last week. Hm, original or not, better sound with KingCobra then with CopperHead (CopperHead bought from original AQ seller.) The Gibraltar is same, against a noname 4 mm2 ofc cables. This is the situation. Btw, the AudioQuest cables are made in China. :-)
