Compared my blush and red kates to this black hot chick I bought from vestiaire, and im convinced its fake.

Gold stamping on the insole is missing/unclear in some spots, where the “ou” is in louboutin (even compared to my year old pair that has yet to suffer from any wear and tear.)

Stamping on the sole is much shallower on the black hot chick.

Less space between the made in italy stamp and size stamp on the black pair.

Something I noticed immediately was how grainy the black patent leather looked. You can see distinct lines of my blinds reflected in my blush kates, where there is much less detail on the black hot chick. The light reflection almost looked fuzzy. I didnt want to believe it, but i had to pull out my other pairs to check and my heart sank.

What do you guys think, did i go blind trying to play spot the difference?

I was setting this up this afternoon and found that the hum was pretty obvious at full volume (i have ground wires attached and it did sound much worse without them) To be fair i dont think ill ever run it at full volume (halfway is the perfect spot before i become a nuisance to my neighbours) just wanted to know if its normal, or if its something i should fix, especially in reference to the volume i had it at the start of the video
