Like other Chinese products introduced into the marketplace, description of materials and design can be woefully inadequate, and often misleading and sloppy, if not downright deceptive. This is not to say I don't purchase Chinese products, since I use a modded TeraDak DAC and a Breeze Audio PSU in my computer workstation system, and find them to be audiophile quality.

However, I don't tolerate fake branding of parts and look-alike builds that don't deliver the goods, since this practice can only dumb-down the audiophile notion of high-end gear within a marketplace that should demand credibility.

As for the Choseal LB-5109, it's offered as an original product, so the only deception might be whether or not the conductor is OCC rather than OFC. Additionally, there is no mention of the particular dielectric, so it could be mundane PVC rather than those of a lower dielectric constant. There is also no mention of solid core or stranded conductors nor cable geometry other than a "100% Spiral Wound Bare Copper Shield". Shielding is a design factor usually implemented for line-level interconnect designs rather than speaker cables which may suffer from poor dynamics even more so than a shielded line-level interconnect often will vs. unshielded cables.

just my 2 cents
