Boring | Choosing and Ordering Parts

This is something I get asked about quite a lot. Here's the stuff that doesn't get talked about much, but it's a crucial part of the process. I mean, sure, important, yadda yadda. It's still boring. Addendum: I mistakenly added 400v 22nF Vishays to the cart due to CE’s page refresh. I changed those to 630V afterwards. And I probably should have shown how to take advantage of Mouser’s pricing tiers. For example, ten Vishay PR02 resistors cost less than five. I always use that but didn’t get into it in the video. In retrospect I wish I had. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — These are things I get asked about a lot : Amp Tech Gear Used : Hakko FX-951 soldering station Weller SPG 80L soldering iron (chassis work) Rigol DS1054Z digital oscilloscope Thsinde 18B+ digital multimeters Kester 60/40 solder Techspray #4 No-Clean Desoldering Braid Does anybody actually read these things? Below are things that make this channel possible that people don’t usually think about. If any of these companies want to send me new and wonderful toys, I’m open to that. I can’t take free stuff when it comes to the amps I review, etc, but for the stuff below, bribe away!
