Yeah, but buying a $150 unit and it not doing what you need, may sour you from buying what you MAY need.
OR NOT
OR NOT
Beware Greg! Nothing we do here is wife friendly...Oh it’s fine it’s why I ask I have to decide if I want to NOT know what I’m doing with a $150 dollar unit or not know what I’m doing with a $2500.00 unit lol . If I get the cheaper one validated and am able to work with it I may become smarter for it . And still keep it all wife freindly .
When I was looking for some, I also looked at the HP 8903B Audio Analyzer and the ATS1 (but you need some optional boards install, if I recall)The AP units are very capable of running many tests without the need for any external programming, they have automated them internal to the unit. They are more expensive as a result.
To do the equivalent parameter sweep on the HP units, generally speaking, requires you to know how to program the units via HPIB programming. Not all that easy and the documentation supporting that is quite poor.
AP basically gives you the easy button, not easy on the HP units.
Both are good machines and can do impressive testing, depends largely on your capability and how much you want to spend. The QuantAsylum boxes are quite good but are nearly unobtainium due to production shortages at this time. I will own one of them once they clear their production problems in addition to the HP I currently have.

BMW guys might be aware of UUC Motorwerks .... they produce parts and various things we guys "need" but trying to explain to significant others ends up with blind stares and rolling pins to the head!New forum header.
It’s a old relic . I have one I use as a door stop. The real issue is getting a good enough signal generator. Lee got you covered buy a audio precision ats-1Im thinking this unit is pretty basic and yet will provide you with at least an idea that things are in the ball park at a reasonable cost.

A little history regarding how they came to be .... as it fits Phoenix appropriately!
What is UUC Motorwerks? UUC is the acronym for Underground Upgrade Club.
For those automotive enthusiasts who have "significant others" (wives, husbands, etc.) who do not understand the desire and need to enhance the performance of a vehicle, welcome to the club.
If you ever get these kinds of questions: "Why do you need new wheels when the old ones are fine? Why do you need new suspension if the current ones aren't worn out? Isn't your current car fast enough?" - we empathize with you. You might just have to hide a few things from the Missus or your Old Man. You know the drill...no credit card or check purchases... sneaking cash to buy upgrades to feed your automotive addiction. For your convenience, UUC Motorwerks accepts cash and we ship discretely. We can even ship to your employer!
Used to be? Uh-ohI used to be friendly with Ben. He has a swapped ti too.
He is doing well. I saw him this past Summer.Just haven’t seen him in 20-odd years.
