Siglent SDS3000X HD and upgraded SDS1000X HD

Up to 5-7,000 euros are not really unaffordable for a more powerful amateur or a very small company.
So an SDS3000X HD would be just the thing.

Dunno in Romania, but I would dare to say that 99% of small companys and 100% of amateurs in Italy do NOT spend 5K, or even more, for a fancy DSO ...

Batronix.

"by mistake" ... good to know.

Even though Dave doesn't always go into as much detail as we'd like, the work he does is VERY time consuming and the equipment he has access to for reviews is not available to all of us.

And the style he has covers a wide range of users. From beginners to advanced anyone can find useful and very useful information.

Maybe I have not found the right EEVblog videos then -- I certainly don't claim to know them all. Would you have an example of an EEVblog T&M review which goes into enough detail to base a 5000€ purchase decision on it?

I don't like to order and then return the equipment. I prefer to have as much information as possible from the start.

And I wouldn't like to receive equipment already used as new.
If I don't like it, I'll sell it as second hand afterwards.

I mostly agree, and don't use that return option lightly. E.g. I have never ordered two or three products (in any price class) in parallel with the clear intent to keep only one and return the other(s). But with the DHO1074 which I ordered after quite a bit of online "research", I ended up returning it after finding too many glitches.

Seems fair to me for a mail-order purchase which you can't check out hands-on before buying. Also, I used my existing probes and mains cable for testing, not even unpacking the ones shipped with the scope, so the returned unit was "as new".

I do not agree at all with this "practice", if planned, as in your case, it is unfair and is to the detriment of others, seller and customers that eventually will receive your "tested" device later.

I also bet you too hate receiving opened used boxes and tested equipment...

Please re-read my post. Where did you pick up the message that I planned to return it from the start? I would have loved to find it convincing and keep it, since I bought it at the very favorable Black Friday price.
