noooo

2018-02-09 08:05:00 UTC  

that doesn't have an actual AFE

2018-02-09 08:05:00 UTC  

ive been looking into cheap digital scopes but they all seem shit

2018-02-09 08:05:05 UTC  

tf is afe

2018-02-09 08:05:06 UTC  

get like a siglent or rigol or something

2018-02-09 08:05:09 UTC  

$300-$400

2018-02-09 08:05:13 UTC  

fuck that noise

2018-02-09 08:05:16 UTC  

im poor

2018-02-09 08:05:19 UTC  

that price range will do more than you'll ever need for audio

2018-02-09 08:05:35 UTC  

but anything below $300 is probably not gonna cut it for any precice or accurate measurements

2018-02-09 08:05:50 UTC  

so the cheap ADC route doesnt work?

2018-02-09 08:06:00 UTC  

how's $260

2018-02-09 08:06:06 UTC  

afaik achimago uses a uca202 for his measurements

2018-02-09 08:06:10 UTC  

siglent sds1052dl, can confirm it's more than up to the task

2018-02-09 08:06:17 UTC  

it has rolloff but otherwise its pretty accurate it seems

2018-02-09 08:06:52 UTC  

i guess you could, but you'll have an easier time of it if you use a scope

2018-02-09 08:07:12 UTC  

i dont really have the option if im a poor fuck

2018-02-09 08:07:25 UTC  

most of my money im investing into my business so i dont really have much play room

2018-02-09 08:07:36 UTC  

if you're willing to learn how to use em, aslk around electronics forums for old analog scopes

2018-02-09 08:07:51 UTC  

ive used a few cro's before

2018-02-09 08:07:53 UTC  

those'll still beat the hell out of a usb adc, and can be had free with some hunting and asking

2018-02-09 08:08:05 UTC  

nah theyre pretty rare here

2018-02-09 08:08:07 UTC  

i'd just give you mine but shipping is a tremendous expensive bitch

2018-02-09 08:08:11 UTC  

ive been looking for a good while

2018-02-09 08:08:12 UTC  

kek

2018-02-09 08:08:12 UTC  

ya

2018-02-09 08:08:37 UTC  

those cheap digital scopes like the dso138 are pretty much useless tho right?

2018-02-09 08:08:54 UTC  

wouldn't even defile my trashcan with one

2018-02-09 08:08:57 UTC  

lol

2018-02-09 08:08:59 UTC  

ok

2018-02-09 08:09:07 UTC  

no point wasting 30 bucks then i guess

2018-02-09 08:09:25 UTC  

yeah, if your budget is rly that tight get the best usb adc you can find and watch the signal in audacity

2018-02-09 08:09:37 UTC  

why audacity?

2018-02-09 08:09:44 UTC  

there are actual programs like RAA that do that shit

2018-02-09 08:09:57 UTC  

16/44.1 if you can, that way it _only_ shows noise within human hearing range

2018-02-09 08:10:01 UTC  

rmaa*

2018-02-09 08:10:09 UTC  

while a scope or a high-res adc you'll be looking at shit your cat can't even hear

2018-02-09 08:10:14 UTC  

thermal noise and all will be visible

2018-02-09 08:10:25 UTC  

audacity is free and super easy to use is why

2018-02-09 08:10:44 UTC  

rmaa is free

2018-02-09 08:10:52 UTC  

is also pretty versatile
