well, haven't been here in a while, for no particular reason, since I bought the CSA8000. By the way, that is waiting for its first sampling module. It would have been here yesterday if the PO hadn't messed up. It made it to my town PO of about 13k people (not like we are in NY where they could lose it), then they shipped it to another PO and then took it all the way back to the San Francisco distribution center. I hope they don't send it back to the guy because they were nice enough to give me a return option. But I digress...
I've wanted an HP 3561 for a while and found by accident a 3562a locally. Nice guy, but sometimes I wonder if they ever got anything out of this device because the settings were all over the place when I powered it up. I have a Krell KSA50S amp that will start distorting just the high frequencies. Turning it off an on will reset it and then it might play for a month without a problem. The distortion is hard to catch with a scope. Anyway, I say this so I can justify the 3562 or not, who cares, I wanted one.
First picture is the unit doing a sweep of a small crossover I built using the Wondom DSP modules. They are made by a company called Sure Electronics. They make these DSP units with/without bluetooth, with/without an amp, etc. Very inexpensive. I needed a crossover to drive small powered B&W speakers and a subwoofer for my synthesizer and keyboards. Using the DSP module I threw one together in about 20 minutes. The DSPs are supported by Analog devices graphical DSP code generator SigmaDSP. Anyway, all is well otherwise now that I have my new most favorite piece of gear. By the way, I thought it was a steal at $325US, what do you think?

ps: by the way, the knobs on the 3562 were cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight. I can't believe how clean they look compared to the rest of the unit.
