RE: Fake Nordost Odin interconnects from China

Posted by KanedaK on December 30, 2019 at 14:35:14:
Of course, yet the particularity of Nordost cables is that you SEE the conductors and how they are built.
I'm not one second supposing that the fake Odin cable might sound as good as the real cable; but I can see on the pictures that the global construction is the same and conductors look extremely similar (which isn't the case with most other fake cables on which all you see is the outer jacket).
Assuming they use reasonable quality materials (which I believe is very likely), combined with the singular Nordost arrangement, it may be interesting. We all know (you especially) that the geometry of a cable plays as big a role as 99,99999purity OFC copper, at least for some aspects of the transmission.
Equal, not even in dreams; good for the price? we can't completely dismiss that possibility IMHO...
At 130 (or even 50)$ for a 50cm length I probably will try my luck someday.
