A buyers vote(german, translated via deepl)from Voelkner Electronic:
--- Quote ---Continuous power guzzler and poor workmanship
Keithley has still not managed to install a "humm" free mains transformer. Only soft power button, over 20 watts in standby?????
Main board bends extremely when the rear switch is pressed.maybe a fake vote, can´t see a rear switch...
The SMD components are certainly happy every time.

Well "we" refers to me, myself and I, so maybe King of a very small Empire!!
This also applies when the Chairperson of the Board (read not me, she's the Real Boss) refers to as "we" getting something done, like right now!! Here the "we" refers to me and not her :-\
Best,

Think they got the decimal point shifted, our DMM6500 consumes ~2W in standby. Our hearing isn't very good, but no hum detectable either.

Seems the PA forgot to cancel the BO KS34465A request by engineering, so when the KS34465A arrived unexpectedly at the shipping dock (house door), he blamed engineering, which blamed the CFO, which blamed the CTO and eventually everyone blamed the CEO :o

Actually, it looks like your CFO did OK: Keysight currently specifies a 64-week lead time (!), so having one in hand is quite an asset. And since prices continue to rise, that 34465A could probably be sold today for more than you folks paid a year ago. Win! :clap:
The DMM6500 has a mere 36-week lead time by comparison. (Both numbers from Mouser, btw.)
Not a great time the OP to go shopping. :(
