Yes, I do to. I did try if some pick-up was via the power supply lead by adding a  few ferrites, but that did not help.

Anyway, the result remains useful typically, even with the noise pick-up

I say beehive they put a switch on the amplifier and it has better connectors

you will never get the tekbox powered up, it looks like it has that esoteric usb connector on it

It's a standard USB Mini-B connector (not sure if that counts as "esoteric" these days :))   It did come with a cable too.

The probes and preamp also all came in a very nice, high-quality wooden box:  I was kind of surprised by that.

It does seem to be a hit an miss with these boards. A friend of mine bought 2 board from this seller (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2961268?spm=a2g0o.detail.100005.2.623e2421xlV5yH) and the response looks completely different. NF >3db but gain is a little flatter. Visually his 2 devices look identical to mine.


nctnico:
Are these using the same amplifier? If the gain is flatter then I doubt it. Or there is something wrong with the boards.
