SnowDrifter Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Well, I took advantage of Steve's volt meter video and the resulting sale to order me up a VM-1.Paid for it late Monday afternoon, shipped out Tuesday, received it Thursday. Shoutout to Steve and Jaybird for the super fast shipping. Right out of the box, the first thought that comes to mind is "solid." For a volt meter, the thing has some meat to it. It's a really good feeling when you pick something up and it doesn't feel cheap, as if it were supposed to break sometime down the roadI cracked open the 12v plug and all the joints attaching the wire to the plug SOLID. No "dry joint" and plenty of solder wicking. Build with pride for sure The LEDs are bright and readable. I'll find out how they do in direct sunlight tomorrow.Pics coming tomorrow."Action" video coming sometime next week or the week after. I'm waiting on some custom hardware for my capacitor bank since the steel bolts I'm using right now are turning out to be a significant source of resistance. I'll be doing a comparison video between the VM-1, my stinger meter, my DMM, and with/without my capacitor bank. That's where the response time of the vm-1 will shine Edited August 2, 2013 by SnowDrifter Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
