if anything he might comment on All This Gear to look at one opamp

Yeah, I've been looking at a 936 clone. Or one of the numerous DIY projects available. Or that TS100 thing.

probably my meter too but hey it'd been professionally calibrated recently so it's better than most low budget hobbyists have to work with

Sure, Dave's alright. But he shits relentlessly on anything that isn't in the $1000+ range.

he doesn't though?

watch his how to set up an electronics lab video

he's like "i mean yeah you dont need a fancy programmable 5a power supply just get an lm317 and a couple trimmers lol"

Alright, he does have a video where he links to a bunch of budget stuff. But he doesn't recommend it. 😄

no, his one for a forrserious lab

i mean he works for a lab

also the rigol ds1054z is his standard oscope rec

and it's a $400 chinese scope

he goes hard on multimeters but honestly it's worth going kinda hard there esp. if you're measuring mains

hell dave uses the same chink reflow station i do

costs $50

also he's right about those pocket mini scopes those are uuuuseless

😄

well, fluke makes their scopemeters

but those are still super expensive for what you get

that kind of money gets you a nice tek or keysight

I simply find that the BigClive guy is a more reasonable go-to for home gamer stuff.

definitely

Dave's fine, don't get me wrong, but Clive's a chink at heart.

eevblog is better for people who're looking to go more into it or engineering students or just actual engineers

Aye.

I know next to nothing about the stuff, but I still very much enjoy EEVBlog.

he's pretty good for a "i like it enough to actually put some Money into this hobby" too

i've considered doing teardowns of chink things like bigclive does

Go for it.

Doesn't take a lot in terms of equipment.

but most of it's just really not very interesting, epoxy blob over a cob

😄

i have a lot more than i really need in terms of equipment

that gutted box in the pic is the case i haven't put the microohmmeter in yet

No, I mean for the actual recording.

upgrading my scope soon if i get the two apartments thing sorted, i really need four channels

Clive's just using a shitty phone for the camera, after all.

oh, yeah

The "sorry for zooming" stuff has annoyed me lately, speaking of...

also check this ridiculous bullshit out https://tangentsoft.net/elec/bitmaps/vgrounds/gnd-channel.png

Can't see why people would be bothered by him zooming.
