CEC CD Transports on eBay: Are they fake?

@ajays 

Re CEC TL1x. Yes! It's a rather smooth sounding transport with just a hint of tubby bass,  or a more fuller sounding bass. Just a hint though. I saw a few for sale  on USAM.

If there is no Warranty mentioned in the ad copy, it’s almost always a “Grey market product”, meaning it’s either used, reconditioned, or a fake. If it is an authentic, brand new product from CEC there will be a Warranty.
Why not shoot the question to CEC?

@fthompson251 Thank you so much!

As an update for everyone, I heard from an authorized CEC dealer today that the eBay units include Chinese clones which CEC has apparently been battling for some time. This is concerning.

I bought a CEC TL5 a year ago from A JAPANESE Company....100 volts not 110-120 that we use here...IT WORKS PERFECTLY with our electricity. An Electrician told me that as long as there is less than a 20 volt disparity , it is fine. It’s a Fantastic Analog sounding transport with my Audio Mirror Toubadour IV SE, Aavik U-150 integ.and Borresen X-3 Speakers. If you can pick one up from a JAPANESE Supplier for under $1500USD...Buy IT !
