@grenert, good point about Taiwan made, prefer to support EU or US economy.  another miss in calculation.  :palm:

This is original Taiwan made ! that means IET,BK,Agilent.... are clones  :-DD

This is good exampel planned downgrad spec. :* Function is same as the LCR-9184, but without LCD backlight structure, without sorting function
?and the spec. accuracy is larger than LCR-9184.. (in % ) = worse.

Did throw away a mail to them. IF its cost 100$ with shipment when its intressting.

Better picture and info.: http://www.pedak.nl/Lutron/pdf/LCR-9184.pdf

In europe it cost almost same as IET=forget it

@kripton2035, thanks it looks very nice, but i have no time to build things. I am just a simple repair man and only missing ESR, Df readings. So i dosent need the best spec.

IET Labs told me it is their design and made under their supervision/control in Taiwan. That was the only way to keep the price down.
But you can get it for 150 dollar more with nist certificate. You do not offer that option if it is not a good design and if the specs are only made for marketing.

Using a manufacturer or a existing chipset does non mean they are clones or have the same specs or quality. In that case you could say every multimeter using a LM399 is as good. But if the resistors in model X are carbon composite and in model Y  vaccuum sealed 0.001% wirewound with zero tempco
I think the LM399 in the first is a waist, but 90 % of EEV blog will say, great, model X is a great bang for buck. I buy that one because it is a clone from Y and uses a LM399 so it must be as good  |O
alm:
Are they clones, or all they all based on the sane Cyrustek reference design?

That is a little different than the story I got when I asked the same question about a year and a half ago. This is from one of my first posts on this forum about the meter.  :-//

"I talked to an IET tech before I bought it and asked how they achieved this price. He quickly said Taiwan. They looked a long time to find a meter that they felt lived up to the IET reputation. They finally found this meter and after extensive testing partnered with them to sell this meter."
