...that they're fake before receiving them...or did you know they were fake when you made the order?

But I for one never expect name brand-like products to be real in the Aliexpress market place. This is not to say they don't work or sound bad, but you can pretty much bet no American companies sell products on Aliexpress.

With that said, I bet the cables actually would have sounded pretty good.

  I've never looked at Aliexpress. For all I know they sell great stuff. Apparently not.

  Thanks for the heads up. But you didn't answer the question. How did you know they were fake before receiving them?
  
  Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you.

    YouTube video guy. Look up the poster [HiFi Zone]. For example, "How to tell a fake Audio Quest" video. He has a string of videos concerning this topic. Also reviews equipment clones.
That's what I wondered. - grantv 11:12:47 09/19/24 (1)
Got cold feet after ordering, or did research after ordering?
Either way, AliExpress is not somewhere I would consider for buying decent audio equipment.
Not at all surprised they don't sell legit high-end brands.

  Shady practices are shady practices.
