In Reply to: Accuphase Chinese Power Cord - Does This Look Familiar? posted by el34eh@yahoo.com on February 6, 2023 at 18:10:08:
I'm a bit off topic here, but there's an interesting episode of Jay's Audio Lab on YouTube that deals with Chinese Nordost knock-offs. Apparently one of his customers tried to pass off a Chinese Nordost Odin PC as the real thing. In this case, the customer was expecting roughly a $4K credit toward the purchase of a new piece of equipment. Of course everything collapsed rather quickly when it was discovered the PC was simply an $80 knockoff of the real thing. This is where Jay starts his lecture on the "dangers" of Chinese knock-offs. Of course he adds that the knock-offs don't sound as good as the real Odin PC.(at the absolutely ridiculous list price of roughly $14K) Yet there was no indication he did an extensive listening test to compare. At least not that I could tell. My only real take away is I'm beginning to wonder if these purveyors of the uber hi-end are starting to feel threatened by products that may compete (at least to a degree)at a price points 10X-100X times less in most cases. And of course I realize we're dealing with two entirely different hobbyists with vastly different bank accounts. So there will always be a handful that won't bat an eye in regard to a $14K power cord.
