[sdiy] Does anybody have an opinion on Siglent scopes ?

[grant musictechnologiesgroup.com]

Well I hope that 100MHz upgrade helps the boot time, because my stock 1054Z takes a hell of a long time to boot. (Joke of sorts).  That was one of the things that also annoyed Dave Jones. That scope is considered pretty long in the tooth these days I guess.

I have a Rigol DS1054 with the 100MHz upgrade.

I like it. The fan can be a little noisy but bearable. The user interface is good.

Only dislike is the probes that come with it are crappy.


I also have a 300MHz Tektronix 2465 - my "bench baby".  Also a couple 475s and a 2215 when I just want nice unfettered analog.


I had a Tektronix TDS2024B some years back - that was a nice scope!

Definitely a good one to throw in car

Thanks.  I'd always thought of Rigol as slightly more upmarket, but prices look similar so I suppose open the question up to which is best Rigol vs Siglent :-)

Just to clarify, this is a 'throw in the boot of the car' scope, not my main one.

If I were shopping in that market right now I'd seriously look at Rigol:
