Regularly asked question
Q) Why are there comments from days ago when this video has just gone live today?

[wal]

I'm the kinda guy who thinks the visual part is a good percentage of the total experience. I hate the way VU meters and Spectrum Analyzer displays have been removed from most audio equipment. That said, I love these vids showing off what's available. Thanks for the effort put into making these vids!

[kenp]

You have amazing patience. I laughed out loud during the 2nd one when you dumped all the LED strips out of the acrylic out of frustration.

[thenargles]

The “dual channel” one that is actually mono just blows my mind. Why would they do such a stupid thing?! Anyway, you made it entertaining for us as usual!

[kaitlyn__L]

Wow, masochistic Mat in this one! I definitely would’ve stopped bothering after the first construction on the second unit — especially because they ended-up in phase by the end and the height matched. I think the manufacture measurements are what’s wrong rather than your method, probably a compounded rounding error! Still, I do appreciate the sacrifice of your time and your patience :)

[CoolFire]

The second device was doomed to fail on lining up the LEDs. There's 22 acrylic panels and 20 LEDs on each of the strips. So it's fair to say them not lining up properly is no fault of yours.

[Dark_Ronius]

That second one looks like it would be good if it were about £40 as opposed to over £100. I quite like the industrial look, but at that price really you shouldn't be paying for a factory work experience position.

[LaTigerGenesis]

Please consider offering "It's mono and it's hopeless" tee-shirts!

[geraldhenrickson]

Rather than speculate, whine or state the obvious, I will just thank you once again for taking us along to see these latest acquisitions. It makes my Sunday morning coffee extra special.

[timehunter]

The second one probably included the other type of parts by accident. The thinner spacers combined with the longer LED strips were probably a different model. I wasn’t expecting that price either, it looks like something you’d buy from Argos for about £35.

Techmoan's easter story.
He suffered for us so we don't have to. Concerning number 2.

[fhwolthuis]

I think for the second one you should build it bottom to top with the LEDs already placed vertical in the base. Then you can check the alignment of each piece of perspex and decide which washers to use for the next one

[rustkitty]

The display is decent on the first one because it's an off-the-shelf module. They just snap it into their plastic frame along with some shoddily programmed microcontroller and done.

[vwlssnvwls]

Thank you for always doing the music while removing the screen protectors. This is always a favorite treat in the videos it appears in.

[richardbanks]

Really like the little avatar who explains things, hope your hand gets better soon! Thanks for sharing this, even if something turns out to be rubbish, the video is still entertaining :)

[louisreich]

Strong “James May’s The Reassembler” vibes through the middle but of this video. Honestly I’d you released a real time version of the entire process I’d watch it to go to bed.

“Techmoan’s The Assembler and Disassembler and Reassembler and Disassembler and Reassembler.”

[electronicengineer]

Very nice of you Mat/Techmoan to "take the hit" on these three (3) audio spectrum analyzers and advise all of us viewers to "stay clear" of all of them. You're a class act sir. Fred

[K-o-R]

We appreciate your patience and dedication!

[grahamhill]

Your methodical approach 'chills' me Sir. I look forward to your videos- a vision of a fair and kind world with tech. taking us there.

I'm extremely familiar with the "I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered this" feeling... it's usually the result of a late night combined with alcohol.
