Welcome to the forum, falcoron. That's a familiar name!

I don't know these cables and in fact I've never even heard of them. Still, hopefully someone will have some insights.

cheers,
yeah im on every forum going LOL!

here is a review and an insight on how these are constructed, interesting at least! can get on china sites like aliexpress etc. but these are all copies so you wont know if constucted the same and with the same materials.

china are experts in copying stuff
im inclined to think some of these guys really know what works
beware of really cheap prices as labour might be cheaper but materials wont be to any great extent
but not without risk of disappointment

definitely

these look to have either twisted or spiralled wire put through a ferrite ring, its probably not that hard to copy
if the right materials are used maybe they'd be ok

if your on taobao or even ebay you will find certain china/hk sellers that seem to be more enthusiast than con-artist
