So I ended up getting a 466 with the DM44 option. It came with 2 10x probes, though one registers as a 1x - think there's something wrong with it, or should it be okay? DM leads, temp probe, a few other goodies. I think I'll track down a pair of 1x/10x probes. Have a function generator kit on the w...

Bipolar caps show lower distortion than polarized electrolytics (Douglas Self, among others, has written about this) of the same size. The phantom blocking cap on a mic preamp will often be 47uF or bigger; the voltage would be higher, though. Bipolar caps are easy to source (from digikey, mouser, or...

The problem is not RFI but, potentially, capacitance and resistive losses. Unless your amp is susceptible to picking up interference on its output terminals (which is possible, but you're going to have to try and see) any RFI on the cable itself will be far too low a level to be important. Resistive...

Don't think you have to get a Tek or HP; there were many American, European, Japanese companies making nice scopes. Don't worry about calibration too much. Even a grossly out of calibration scope is going to be adequate for most of what seems to come up in audio electronics - building fuzz boxes and...

Buy a used analog two channel 20MHz scope off eBay. You should be able to get something for $50, plus $20 for some probes (those crappy no-name ones you find everywhere will work fine). You won't be able to get anything decent & digital unless you're willing to spend much, much more. If you can find...
