Peter Kranz - COUNTERFEIT SILTECH CABLES

24.8.72.33

This Post Has Been Edited by the Author

This Audiogon member with lots of positive feedback sells counterfeit Siltech cables that are made in China, not in the Netherlands. You can tell because the serial numbers have 8 digits. Genuine Siltech cables have 7 digits in the serial numbers.
I have verified this with the Siltech factory. Attempts to contact Pete via phone and email are now going unanswered. I sold 2 of the 7 pairs I bought from Pete and, upon finding out the truth about the cables' origin, immediately offered full refunds to my buyers. One responded,
"Hi Jerry,
I am truly impressed with your ethics and honesty and greatly appreciate you letting me know this. There are not many people who would do this."
Peter Kranz is a fraud, a thief, and a liar. He is a con artist.

He uses "awesome audio" as a cover.
I am a trusting person, but have been a little foggy since a concussion that I sustained while skiing at the beginning of March made me unconscious for about 6 hours. I bought over $6000 from this person to help him pay medical bills. Yeah, I’m a sucker. All the signs of a rip-off were there, but I simply didn’t connect the dots. My bad.
I have filed the appropriate complaints/disputes with Audiogon, PayPal, and my credit card company. I hope he does not make you his next victim!
Suggestion: If using PayPal, always mark the transaction "goods", NOT "personal" no matter how warm and fuzzy the seller makes you feel.
Regards,
JerryS
