Pardon my ignorance but is there a special cabinet where you store all the famous Swiss chocolate? :popcorn:
Special cabinet? This is Switzerland, there’s an entire room just for chocolate! :p

I added some shelving to the left of my test bench and some new test equipment since my post earlier this year.  The other benches remain the same, more or less.

Since it's Switzerland, chances are such rooms might be as well an entire underground bunker of chocolate!  Suspecting to be so because of this:  Switzerland Has 374,142 Bunkers (and likely more):D

Amazing video, but I didn't see purple cows anywhere, only normal ones, they are probably in special Milka bunkers somewhere  :-DD

Also no sign of triangular almonds from triangular trees nor any triangular honey from triangular bees.

Nah, no purple cows — the Milka brand was originally Swiss, but for practically the entirety of the brand's existence, it's been manufactured in Germany. I'd say it's a de-facto German chocolate brand, and you don't see here that much.

As a consolation, I've attached a purple polar bear, which is cute as heck. (No, it wasn't a marketing gag. It was gentian violet, used to treat a skin condition.)

Indeed. But have you heard of long eggs? They've all but vanished in Switzerland these days, with even ready-to-go supermarket salads using sliced real eggs, but back in the 80s and 90s they were a staple of restaurant salads, canapes, etc. I recall them as being entirely bland and looking a bit like like foam rubber due to the air inclusions. (I have a suspicion, albeit without evidence, that the yolk part was actually diluted with a lot of egg white to make it easier to slice.)

Here's a lovely German kids video about how those abominations are made:

"Skin Condition".... Suuuuure....

The purple bear could be as well the offspring of an interracial between a Milka purple cow and a Polar bear.  :-//

Or maybe someone didn't sort the laundry properly and put a bear and a cow in the same wash?

Surely those pies can be made with conventional hard-boiled eggs?!?

Please don’t. Totally unnecessary and not funny.

Small ones, but whatever the size you get the issue that some slices will have no egg, or just white, while other slices get the full thing. BTDT. Our solution was flat egg, rather than long, since it was a round gala pie.

So back to the topic, I have improved the options for testing audio components a bit. After making a 300W 1x2, 1x16 Ohm or 2x4, 2x8 Ohm) dummy load myself, installing a Tektronix 2465 oscilloscope, I replaced the test amplifier with a Yamaha DVD receiver and made a new patch panel. Small speakers on the sides of the connection panel will allow you to listen to the signal in artificial load mode. A rotary switch allows you to connect a test VU meter to the appropriate inputs or outputs.

For the Yamaha receiver, I modified the power supply a little and completed a galvanically isolated five-volt branch for the stereophonic BT module 5.0, which is automatically activated when the amplifier is switched on.
I custom-made all connecting signal cables and they are connected as directional to minimize interference of the tested signal

Just arrived today:

I have taken apart more gear than many people. But I have put less gear back together than most people. So there is still room for improvement.
