Now to my opinion the new case is an improvement as shock absorption is better than a metal box. Gone is the diecast housing replaced by impact plastic as has the industrial multipin connector. The original VCM2 does not seem to have the same build quality from the photos found as the VCM1. Mine is not "A" grade but likely a B grade as they did opt for the wired banana power jack rather than a PCB version which is such a minor technical issue and not worthy of people's junk judgement.Īs noted in my original post about "Gold", the real VCM1 board has the cadmium plating at exposed test points but also has a diecast aluminium housing so I would opinion that the VCM1 was constructed to a very high standard. There is no sign of cost cutting, all parts are there. Now my clone when compared has nothing missing. But the good thing is they have high res photo's of the original Vectronix boards. Well they were written a few years ago and I am sure they picked the most rubbish clones then available. I have been looking at a couple of articles extolling the virtues of buying genuine VCM. ![]() They must have took some shortcuts to save $$. ![]() I'm pretty sure that the Chinese "engineers" who developed those clones didn't copy the OEM board 100%.
