Hello all in this thread,
Graeme Coley (Sales & Marketing) for Furutech Japan here. Absolutely the receptacle in the link (eBay.com) is a copy. Along with a few other copy GTX-D receptacles, it should be removed from eBay in a day or two. Thanks for the heads up.
Please note that no Furutech products or product parts are made in China and import duties on Japanese products shipping into China are extremely high. It would be impossible for an authentic Furutech product to ship from China at anything less than double the price you would pay in the US or pretty much anywhere else in the world. Any Furutech badged product listed on eBay, amazon, Alibaba that ships out of China will be fake. Also as a caution, there have been numerous cases of Chinese sourced copy Furutech product listed on Japanese eBay and amazon.
In the US, visit VH Audio or Cable Co. webstores for authentic Furutech product.
Thanks!
