Friend of mine bought some A/V Monster Cables for his new theater. Terrible picture from cable and DVD source, even tried another DVD player, even worse sound. Called Monster, after 15 minute phone call, a couple of e-mails showing the product he bought.....yep FAKE cables form China! I still can not get over that one!
If it is not nailed down, they will copy it. R&D in China = Receive and Duplicate.
