I admit I was a Keysight and micsig fan, but not a Rigol hater, before I tested the MSO5074... :scared: |

Every new 'scope has teething problems, that's just the way it is. Look at the threads on here for all other brands (the ones ntnico isn't pointing you to). It wasn't too long ago that Siglent was sending out little bags of capacitors for people to solder inside their 'scopes after purchase. If that little "oopsie" had been by Rigol there would be endless threads about it here, but, noooooo, it's Siglent so it's never mentioned. |

There is no doubt that the big names like Keysight, R&S etc are much more polished product and generally more enjoyable to use in small ways and support is way better, but the Siglents and the Rigols will ultimately get the job done and will be better bang-per-buck, depends on what you value. |

I think there is no vendetta against Keysight, for example, because of market factors, and doing such would challenge the credibility of these posters. |
