I would think that if it were a Chinese knock off that they would use their own cheap Chinese connectors instead of the Hubbell. I have owned some of the Chinese cords and they love to use the counterfeit Oyaide connectors.
As far as the quality of copper used, I have no idea. I did a brief A/B comparison last night against my reference JPS Labs A/C cord using only a CD source and I was pleasantly surprised. I expected the JPS cord to trounce it in every way but it did not. I intend to do some more extensive listening tonight with CD an vinyl and will report tomorrow on my overall impressions.
The CD used for evaluation was Rusted Roots "When I Woke" played on a Sony 5 disc carousel SACD player. Amp is a Chinese brand "Tube Fidelity" which is a hybrid integrated using Sanken power devices in the amp section and (4) vintage GE 12AU7s in the pre/amp section. It runs pure class"A" and puts out 95 watts channel into 8 ohms and 190 watts into 4 ohms Speakers are Maggie MMG wired with my DIY 14AWG Milspec cryo treated silver plated copper wire and my own DIY pure silver solid core I/Cs
