CEC CD Transports on eBay: Are they fake?


I’m looking at one of the dozens of supposedly brand new CEC CD transports on eBay. I hear rumors of many of them being fakes. Does anyone have experience with buying one of these who received a confirmed authentic unit?

My first impulse was to say that but it's my habit to contradict myself. 😄

Those Japanese models run on a different voltage than here in the US. From their product description:

Power supply: AC100V, 50/60Hz

Here, we run on AC 120V, 60Hz. You'll need a step up transformer in order to use it. It's too bad the prices rose so much on the ones sold stateside. Back when I got my Technics SL-G700 SACD player, the CEC TL-5 was going for around $1800 and sometimes less when they had sales. 

All the best,
