Test Equipment Anonymous (TEA) group therapy thread

It's very true 'feature creep' or as I like to call it 'oneupmanship' has impacted immensely on the UI present in a modern DSO and all manufacturers are guilty of this to some degree.
On the other hand instead of owning multiple bits of equipment a modern DSO can offer a lot of additional functionality as part of the 'package' so instead of overloading the bench we have it all in a single unit. Manufacturers of both high and low end gear do it.
Of course with some gear it's just 'tick box' additions while with others this additional functionality is real and capable.
So while you might not agree new entry level DSO's are 'dirt cheap', once you factor in these newly added capabilities it changes the view on the 'old CRO vs new DSO' argument.
We could go on for weeks more than the few days we've done thus far but I'd like to round out with my comments on this topic are entirely based on what I've seen in my marketplace and I fully expect buyers into the future to become more and more aware of the 'added value' in modern instruments. In the US where a plethora of used gear is available the marketplace is very different.
This discussion we've had has gone on before in various threads over the years and could/should continue with its own new thread in the TE board where we'd hopefully get a better consensus and greater participation than just here in the TEA thread.
I won't start it as it'll only be seen as some sort of Siglent propaganda. ::)

Bear in mind that for a good thirty years compact disc was king and vinyl had gone the way of the dodo, except that now the sales of vinyl are increasing dramatically, top acts are releasing stuff on vinyl again and even the lowly tape cassette has started to see some re-adopters. Take the comparison with the pinch of salt it requires, but it does demonstrate that a shift from digital back to analog, even after all the big names have abandoned a technology, can happen if enough customers make their desire for it known.

Heh. I remember how long it took car stereo manufacturers to come up with a CD transport that could deal with the vibration, and how many people do you know that still listen to CD's in their car?

Yeah shit roads are the enemy but they'd be worse for vinyl.
Most I know play CD's especially when tripping.
I've got a rear 12 stacker in my SUV and others I know have 5 or 6 disc units in the head deck.
