U-Tube electronic test equipment reviewer from England
« on: August 28, 2024, 08:55:46 pm »
There use to be a well known reviewer on U-Tube for all types of test equipment that did a comical review sometimes with many products. He did a 'tear-down' procedure. Rigol & Siglent were two of the brands he reviewed. He commented how similar Siglent was compared to Rigol when Siglent introduced their SA line, basically joking about it.

For the life of me I can't remember his name or handle. I tried doing a search and only come up with 'The Signal Path' which is not him. Anyone remember whom I'm talking about??

Mikeselectricstuff does very thorough teardowns that are often humorous.
I think he's done Rigols but not sure about Siglent. He fairly often posts here, too.

That's not it. Those weren't the only brands he's tested, nor the only specific item.

Nope.
It wasn't that long ago, less then 6 or so years.I remember reading more than one member mentioning his review for a particular item.

SDG Electronics has a pretty good mix of topics - including test equipment

not so sure about the jokes?

Is he real, or is it just some of those fancy new-fangled AI YouTubers?

He is real, long before AI was thought of.
Can't believe no one knew whom I was talking about especially since this Forum is home base for him.

You specifically said from England. Nobody was thinking of a guy who sounds blatantly not from England.

You call yourself Bruce, and you don't know where he is from?

To be fair, I've noticed, the Australian accent does sound similar to some parts of Eastern England. I remember speaking to some people from somewhere in East Anglia, it could've been Cambridgeshire or Suffolk and couldn't help but notice they have an Aussie twang. I thought it was because they'd watched too many trashy Australian soaps, but no it's real. I believe the old working class London accent a couple of hundred years or so ago, sounded similar to Australian, but it's completely changed since then, whilst the Aussies haven't.

Part of the Commonwealth*. The UK is the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.


* Commonwealth of Nations to give it it's full title.

The stereotype (I guess "meme" in the modern parlance) is Australian males are called Bruce, and females Sheila. It's probably only commonly used in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

There are quite a few UK regional accents in the Australian one. There is still the occasional UK accent influence in various US and Canadian regional accents too.
