Just bought a nice LCR meter

[Nick]

...probably over the top for most people, but I bought one on a whim after seeing a lot of positive reviews on EEVBLOG, and very nice it is too... (p.s. Everyone should read EEVBLOG - Dave's style may not be for everyone, but he's a very very good communicator and full of fun).

Its superior to the Peak Electronics one in that it does far more, but it is several times the size...

Delivery was incredibly quick and was accompanied by a charming note from the vendor...
