Hi everyone,
I've been busy rebuilding my Musical Fidelity nu-Vista m3 and have been ordering (and receiving) a bunch of CMC parts from online vendors and boy are there a lot of fakes, and (intentionally?) mislabelled parts/part numbers. i.e. I ordered 805-S-CU-G binding posts only to receive 805-S-G posts. BAH!
Anyways, out of desperation, I decided to email CMC directly and guess what? They were more than willing to send out parts to me at "sample prices" which were WAY WAY less than the www.ali-<insert suffix>.com sites. The only part that wasn't great was the $20 EMS (shipping) fee, but meh...presumably, the OEM manufacturer won't mess up/send fakes!
Thought all of you trying to source parts for your own builds (not to resell) might want to know as they seem to make some pretty decent quality parts for fairly inexpensive prices. I still wonder what is so "swiss" about their "cu" (copper) though... 😀
Thanks!

Hey all... I was on ebay and noticed a ton of CMC fakes, as usual.. but noticed some folks asking about the legitimacy of CMC.. Charming music conductor...aka CMC. Silly name, I know!!! But it is a real company that makes a good product. If you can find "real" product though.... market is loaded with knockoffs. Real ones are made in Taiwan and can be very expensive. Rca's at $60+, and as good Neotech, or even SOME of the WBT's. Many are using Pure copper and silver. Some of the bottom of the range use plated "alloy" (aka brass..lol) so it depends what range you buy, but even those are built solid and they all use teflon dielectric. They are very solid and we'll made.
The gold plate on the copper line rca's is thick...did not grind or rub off when tightened, or over prolonged use with binding posts and RCA's being constantly inserted and removed. But, buy them direct ..never on ebay!!!

Just got CMC parts some from Connex via China. I REALLY like the BFA-Z nanners as well as the locking binding posts!!
