People continuously ship me their wares, for me to treat on an audiodharma Cable Cooker. These include products known to be fakes. I've received several fake Kimber, Tara Labs, and XLO interconnects; Nordost and Shunyata powercords; and even AQ, Cardas, and Kimber speaker cables. With many of these, the cabling portion can look very close to a genuine sample. But often, the connectors give the fakes away.
Nevertheless, these knock-offs have all been functional, so, Cooked or not, they can be used. That said, I personally did not like the mediocre sonics of the fake Tara Labs Vector interconnects, and fake XLO Signature 3 digital coax.
