Affordable oscilloscope for testing amp circuits
« on: November 29, 2022, 05:18:09 pm »
Hello, Im looking to buy an affordable scope for testing out my amp circuits. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Looking to spend 100 so most likely looking at getting a cheap digital scope. What should I avoid and what will work for my testing needs? Want to check my amp after all the mods for blocking distortion etc. Thanks.

read through the other 3 threads on page 1, maybe look through the one's on pages 2 tru xxx
max acceptable input voltage is a good GO/No-go indicator, if you multiply the prospective scopes MAX volts X 10 and don't get to 350 - 400 volts, keep looking
