content: Hello Everyone,Looking to get Siglent test equipment to build a home lab for hobby. When searching I found triplepoint.com.au pricing is way cheaper then Appvision who claimed to be Siglent Authorized distributor in Australia. I emailed Appvision trying to match the offered price, they refused and claimed Triplepoint are selling demo units and are not an authorised seller.I asked triplepoint about the prices who replied saying it is a start up promotion and the price will increase in Jul 2025; however their site are stating the group was formed 1st of December 2006.Should I stay away from dealing with them? Note that I live in close proximity with Appvision site in Hornsby but not sure if this matters in future should I require repair or maintenance to the equipment.Thank you in advance!!!

content: Quote from: micro_me on March 12, 2025, 03:37:33 amI am seriously considering buying from them, the deals are just too good. Still not decided between sdg1000x or sdg2000x.Quote from: micro_me on March 12, 2025, 03:37:33 amIf you walk in and pay cash, they will give you a discount, just ask. Mention that you're buying for EE self study.

content: Quote from: tautech on March 12, 2025, 05:40:24 amThe 1022X Plus costs same as 2042X at triple point. Would you get the new "plus" or the 2000 series? I don't mind a demo unit as long as everything works, and it is covered by warranty.

content: So, my experience so far:Trigger pulled on Monday, same day I got an email from them confirming stock followed by a phone call from their lovely office admin Cristy to confirm my shipping address. The unit arrived today. The box has not been opened before, there is only original Siglent tape over it. No other signs showing that the unit has been used before as a demo/client loan unit. The serial number on the box matches, number of power-ons is 1. Calibration certificate is from 2024-10-10.Photos of unboxing attached.

content: Their website is saying 1 year for everything, but I'll check if they honour Siglent's 3-year warranty. Nothing on the invoice. I am not too concerned as these units are pretty reliable.

content: Quote from: EvgenyG on March 16, 2025, 11:07:14 pmAwesome, I was planning to buy one soon from Appvision as like micro_me they are quite close to me.I've been holding off due to cash flow after Xmas, but this offer was too good to let go. Hopefully someone else didn't grab the stock before me.And a double win as I finally bought my first piece of Siglent TE!
