Dang, I wish I had taken photos of the knock-offs. But anyway, most of the time, the respective owners knew ahead of time, that they were holding fakes. So they just shrugged, and sent those fakes to me. Might as well Cook the fakes, get the most out of them.
OTOH, on rare occasion, an audiophile was wondering why a certain cable just didn't sound right/good. So when he sent me the sample, I would communicate with my audiophile circle, and see if anyone had that product. In that way, we determined that a "Kimber KCAG" was a fake. The gauge and braiding of the internal conductors were off. But the giveaway was that the "WBT" RCAs were not the same sizes, models, or serial numbers as genuine parts.
You know what though? Some of the fakes do, in terms of sonics, outperform genuine entry-level products from the likes of, for example, Monster Cable.
