"I know that there are those who think that the accuracy of test gear is directly proportional to the price of that gear"
Me included, cheap tat scopes v Tektronix.
"And that it therefore follows that even second-hand complex test gear many years old is infinitely more accurate than anything cheap and modern from the Far East which they write off as cheap tat. Fine, if that’s what they think, but I dismiss such views as ill-informed and without any underpinning proof to support their assertions"
Here's my proof, my old Avo analogue meter still works, I have never had to repair it, my cheap tat DVM packed up, there is little chance of repairing it so on that basis my Avo is infinitely more accurate than my cheap tat DVM.
