Used and fake Siltech cables

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008


Second hand Siltech is a great way to save money without losing quality. But take care. Because of the high demand and very high prices for second hand Siltech some unreliable factories started producing lookalikes with full printing of our name and type. This is totally illegal. In general do not buy from non-dealers unless it is a sincere customer upgrading or changing his or her system. In 2004 70-90% of second hand Siltech products offered through Ebay and Audiogon were fake imitation cables made in China, fully stamped with the Siltech logo and letter type. Compared to the original Siltech, the differences are big. For an inexperienced buyer however it is not so obvious. Every seller will normally have a real name, address, telephone number, original box or receipt or other means to demonstrate the origin of the product. So do not buy without a box or receipt (one of these at least).

Imitation look Siltech Cables

Here are some examples of fake Siltech.
In general please make sure you check with your supplier or local distributor to avoid losing your money on worthless products. Genuine sellers will have some proof like original packing or bill of purchase.
