This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.

I imagine the sex to noise ratio changes drastically depending on where you attach the test clips š®
-
Please do a teardown on the SSD. I want to see if I'm right that there's an SD card in there
-
Hoping your LED Chaser toy is Charlieplex'd as well! 6 gpio pins may let it control 30 LEDs (n^2-n). Some factory fresh, legitimate, SSD/NVMe devices arrive with relocated sectors.
-
I'm thinking that COB LED would make a great message notification on my Meshtastic device. š

Thanks for the Mailbag ! The SSD is not even cheap.. I can get a name brand (patriot) 128G drive for 14 bucks over here. I have seen those "cheap" SSDs from ali express with just an sd-card in them.. but I think in your case it is a real drive.. a tear down (pop the lid) would be quite interesting though.
-
I always look at the "Sex to Noise" ratio specs before buying audio related equipment ā¼
-
i am looking forward to the mic preamp video. cheers
-
Your videos really show the inflation numbers!, I guess the days of stuff getting cheaper are long gone.
-
Thank you.
-
more teardowns! i wanna see inside the ssd
-
You can test the actual capacity of the SSD using F3 ( Fight Flash Fraud). Often this kind of devices report a different size than they actually are.
-
I BET that when you will need to replace usb c socket somewhere, nothing from this kit will fit.
-
This is not a cheap Cloudlifter, a Cloudlifter is just an expensive booster :D
-
Anticipating a report on testing the Sex/Noise ratio. I know you already have the appropriate background music for that.
-
I see two teardown candidates. The specs for the mic amp are hilarious but I suspect it has the simplest possible two transistor amplifier that isnāt nearly as efficient as it should be. The SSD likely does have a ssd card in it, but weāll see.
-
Sex to noise ratio hahahaha
-
Sex to noise ratio! Haha So its not just a mic pre amp then. It amplifies your sex.
-
Ah yes, Chinese translation.
-
The LED chaser and SSD peaked my interest.
-
@8:50 open it up, I bet you find a microsd card or something in it.
