To be honest, I do own some (cheap) AQ cables, and I never had any issue.
I may be completely wrong, but I prefer to spend -say- 50 usd at my local retailer, for a cable from a cable manufacturer, rather than 15 on amazon for some ANNNWZZD cable (not joking...).
I know they might be identical, but still, somewhat it feels "safer".
No need to say, it must be 50 vs 15, not 500 or 5000.
Anyway, I'll definitely reconsider this habit in the future. Do you happen to know some cable brands that can be trusted? Mogami, maybe?
