I purchased an Ebtech 6 in 1 tester as I thought it would have a higher quality the Behringer CT100 as it is claimed to be "Made in the USA". On the tester I received the RCA test jacks show a defective cable when it's not. I paid the extra money for the Ebtech so I would not have the hassle of returning a product that should have been thoroughly tested before shipment. The return process with Amazon worked seamlessly, send it back collect and a credit appears on your credit card. If you take a close look at a image of a CT100, the XLR connections are slightly off set, exactly the same as the Ebtech. I believe that Ebtech uses the same offshore components as an assembled CT100 and markets as "Made in the USA", which is fine if the assembly and testing is superior. I did not open the Ebtech for direct comparison to the CT100, so I may be wrong. I have order and received the Behringer CT100, it is well built and I am happy with my purchase. I had an opportunity to use it as I was trying a different set up with my mixer by using the auxiliary send and had problems making it work. So after reviewing the mixer's manual I knew I had the correct connections so I started looking at my cables. My XLR to 1/4" TRS cable proved to be defective and I used the CT100 to confirm it. Now it seems obvious to start with cable testing before doubting myself.
