Still very expensive. I only own an elCheapo multimeter, just good for

coarse measurements. If I have trouble at home where something better is

needed, I ask a friend who owns a measuring bridge and several

oscilloscopes etc., if I do a job and something is "really" broken, in

other words more than just a controlable voltage stabilizer needs to be

calibrated, I ask to give it to a workshop. IMO it's not only expensive

to own all the gear that sometimes is needed, it also takes too much

space. If equipment is seldom used, it tends to fail at the moment it's

needed. IMO an averaged audio engineer who does mixing, wiring and

repairs without a big fuss, doesn't need such gear.

OT: I would like to own a Hameg oscilloscope with the so called

"Komponententester" (translated perhaps something like "semiconductor

tester"). I wonder if there's any other company offering this.
