I know, I know, a digital scope, but hey I already have a couple of analog Tek scopes.
Let me tell you what i find appealing about the DS2000 series: they can go down to 500microV/div which is something not very common on a digital scope and the thing I find most appealing. It can perform FFT which is something very common on digital scopes, but its a thing that an analog scope cant do (at least not your typical one) and I would like to be able to see the frequency spectrum, even if its not a precision dB audio analyer it gives me a good idea. It has an 8 inch color display, etc...
The main thing im interested in is FFT and microvolt/div capability (and price of course)
I was also looking at the Tek TDS2000 series scopes, and they also perform your typical FFT analysis and what not, but they wont go lower than 2mV/div.
They are around the same price for the 100MHz version (which is BW overkill for audio), the Rigol is a couple hundred bucks cheaper, but then again I trust Tektronix with my life.
So yeah, they both have a lot of features I wont be using, but if im buying a digital scope, I wouldnt mind having them.
What do you think, any of you guys use/own one?
