Fake Audioquest Blizzard power cable review. New fake production line?

Here is very interesting post about cables from Audiogon forum. Here’s a little story for you. I worked at a very high end audio equipment manufacturer for many years. The owner decided he might want to release their own cables to sell with their systems. Good idea of course. The company’s CD player’s were already being turn-keyed in Hong Kong. Designed, built and packaged there with our name. So while over seas he visited a large cable manufacturer. They sat down and discussed what kind of cables he wanted. The manufacturer pulls out a big book with samples and shows him all the cables they already manufacture for various well known high end companies (I won’t say the names but you know them all) and tells him they can make the same thing with maybe a different color or whatever and says “we can put your name on any of them”. This is the way much of this stuff works with the fakes. Not all of course. Some is pure crap! But some is made on the identical machines with identical materials and sold to whoever will pay for it. Maybe they put different connectors on it or maybe identical ones. It is true the soldering/weld may not be the same if a company just buys the wire and does their own thing, or it may be the identical cable made in the same factory as the name brand with identical materials. That’s the problem with counterfeits is you don’t know what your getting until you get it. No box. No paperwork. Just the cables. I have purchased several counterfeit cables to try out and have been completely happy with them over the years. Yes I have a “champagne taste on a beer budget”. I have purchased many high end cables directly from the manufacturer’s for 50% off when I worked in the industry. So yes I have a variety of cables that are the real thing lying around from some great companies. Some of the top of the line Audioquest, Cardas, Kimber Silver, etc. I have also purchased some fake Audioquest and Furutech cables that have amazed me with their quality. Right now I’m running all Furutech PCOCC (or OHNO) speaker and interconnects and getting some of the best, most balanced sound I have ever had and it was cheap. So are these identical in every way? I don’t know for sure but the sound quality is amazing! Can you get a crap counterfeit? For sure, yes. As someone said you roll the dice.

you have a lot of cables, both original and fake. It would be interesting to see a video on how to visually distinguish a fake from the original

Great again looking forward to see comparisons of all your cables. And yes ....!! how/where can we see the differences between real and fake? Greetings again.

Thank you for this. I recently got the Dragon HC and i like it a lot. Surprisingly i like it better one my R2R dac than my amp for now. I am on the fence for the Dragon Source or the Silver Cloud for my streamer.

Thanks for the review. Is there big difference in sound between the NRG 3 and this one?

Yet another awesome review.. thanks;) B.t.w Have you had the chance to also try the fake furutech sl 950 powerflux (totl) power cable? Thanks again, loooove your work ❤
