So how do you know if the cable is real or not?
Sky interconnects MSRP for 1m is $2600, would you sell yours for $200 bucks? (dealer cost is $1040 for a pair! I have dealer book)
NEW but no retail box??? Goto any authorized dealers and you will seeALL AudioQuest arein retail boxes. (unless they are store demos, but thats not consider new)
New okay member with zero or very few feedbacks.
New okay members with names that dont make sense.(eg. yvs3834)
Never judge by the stock photo, always ask for different angle shots. (Some sellers do have a real one to show pictures with, but then sells you the replicas)
Take a real Audioquest and gepare with the one you just purchased. (easiest way)
Ask me or send me pictures.
