Hi Eddie, with all the experience you have, I really appreciate the videos you put out. Your knowledge, experience and expertise are very valuable. I want to thank you for the time you take to put these videos out. It has really helped a lot. Thank you. Happy new year.
We will take whatever you throw at us. I find a lot of your vids interesting. I'm a audio guy but power supply design is important too. I like surface mount as well as through-hole Cheers
I completely agree with you making longer videos when you doing things like demonstrating the features of the scopes and comparing them. It's well worth it for us who are considering one of them .
Thank you! That's what I thought. When I was looking to buy a non-Tektronix - I wanted to see a full featured review of these brands I'd never heard of, e.g. Rigol and Siglent;)
Hi Eddie. Happy New Year! Thanks for all your work and content on YT. I actually love watching your longer videos, say 30+ mins, they're totally fine for me. Often, there is not enough depth in the short videos. I mean, your topics are sometimes more complex and sometimes you just explain your view on certain aspects and to do it properly you should take all the time you want or need to say whatever you want to say about that topic. It is why your channel and content is authentic, though, it is kind of your personality shaping your YT channel. As I am not in the audio business (yet), I mostly skip the audio/amplifier related content, but everything else... I love it! I also like the fact, you are not praising any big brands, but instead show and explain how much "bang per buck" nowadays is possible even with the mid-market brands like Siglent, Rigol, Uni-T and alike. They are kinda big brands also, but in different market segments. And it's great for hobbyists to learn about the wide range of good quality test gear available to each of us nowadays.
reviews can be short, but projects need to be longer or in two parts. Surface mount boards offer populated ones and through holes offer unpopulated ones as long as you include a parts list. Happy New Year, please don't stop making videos.
I can't sit still, more than about 40 minutes, so I would prefer multi- part longer ones. Would love to see a QuantAsylum usage video. Happy New Years Eddie.
Thanks for your feedback! I'll do more of these. I have maybe a dozen or so using the quantasylum. This one was one of the first: th-cam.com/video/bRgvrcecSFU/w-d-xo.html
I think design videos would be great, considering your stupendous practical experience; being able to share with the world - as you are already doing. Shorter videos, showing more obscure features not shown / known by many. Enjoy your laid back style
Eddie, Box Openings should be Shorts, Product Reviews should be less than 30 minutes, Technical/Design Series should be between 60 and 90 minutes, and Rants are up to you. Multiple parts are good as long as there are no long gaps between the Parts. Thank you, Danny
Hi, thanks for making interesting videos. I think shorter videos (10-12min) is easier to just jump in to. Maybe a short videos on each of the individual funksjons for a oscilloscope or other instruments is an idea. With focus on the funksjon and how to use it and not the instrument it self.
The thing about video content/views is mostly related to video shoot angle and editing. The video pace speed/dinamic is also very important to make it very fluid. Focus on these topics, and regardless the content, the views will increase a lot. A more in depth and objective design notes over the items under review is a good plus. A series about design procedure is also a very good approach too.
Ok thanks for the feedback! I'm trying to make more of my review videos about showing how the device can be used in a real measurement - so that part is hopefully valuable to those that have not mastered the equipment;)
The feedback is all over the place lol. I’m submitting a vote for design tutorials and product evaluations. Design tips are good for shorts. For PCBs how about offering two options - raw PCB and raw PCB plus bag of parts. Let us assemble the board. A third option is to put the board on OSH Park. Pick which ever you like for layout for SMT or TH. Is JLPCB in the running?
Having shorter videos may see an increase in viewership for some content, where as longer videos may see an increase or decrease depending on subject matter. Showing off a new multimeter doesn't really need to be an hour long or any equipment for that matter. On the other hand, a design, build or repair video which is longer would be welcomed more IMO. That's just me, YMMV. Thanks Eddie.
I feel you with regards to TH-cam audience preferences. To be honest, it is still quite the mystery to me. I saw very similar channels (in type of varied content) grow much faster than mine with no apparent reason other than the host asking for subscriptions and likes. I don't care that much for growth, but I can't deny it is disheartening when a very thorough video is kept in the limbo of audience. I went through the same questions as you: Runtime? Type of subject? Thumbnails? Time of release? Promotion on other social medias? I suspect the answer is in one of these topics, but I can't help but wonder if the delivery is not really pleasing to the larger crowds (I have a small audience that is always thankful for the deep technical dives). Keep on with whatever you like to do - after all, if push comes to shove the gas station will still be there... 😂
Thanks for the feedback! Yes - I think you may have a point - SMT PCB layout is what people need to learn if they are designing boards. Thru-hole is great for people like me that can solder it;) If I had time - I would do both;)
it takes as long as it takes helpful - more whiteboard content Awesome - smps design pcb with noise floor of less than 1 microvolt, 60w for dacs ect..maybe 12v 5a & 400w for those 3255 amps maybe 40v 10a. there are tons of information and diy linear power supply options out there for audio, but very few options info projects ect for smps for audio. audio amp project- yes please class D ? GaN ?
Idk man, depends on what you're wanting to accomplish. If you want your channel to grow, that's one thing.. if you want to help people who are into the awful specific niche market you're into and know, that's another entirely. Your long videos are important to people who have a certain level of understanding, short ones would be better for the super casual person.
Thanks for that feedback! I might just go back to that option. I was looking at them but then had a new another one that I was going to pick. Just so I don't have any conflicts at work - I might use PCBway as they are a very good pcb house.
A review of whether or not power supplies make differences in lower power audio devices make any difference in sound. Would be interesting. Many audio reviews on here seem to think linear power supplies somehow are magical.
For design I prefer long or very long I simply pause and restart watching a bit later after I take notes. As for review that can be much shorter. Regarding llc that is great news since I am in my pcb layout stage for me 250w design. Regarding the one you design I am more interested in the design process and files then the actual board since if I need it I could order as many as I need potentially all assembled.
Thanks for your feedback!! But - remember - the power supply components have very little to nothing to do with sound. That comes from another stage. The final output of the power supply is a DC voltage that has no sound.
I'd like to see your version of a DC/DC split-rail amplifier PSU. A lot of the fun class A circuits are chained to AC mains because they need the trafo center tap. I've only been able to find one DC/DC isolated converter that can be paired in series with enough power to manage this. Knowing the proper way to go about this would be great.
Thanks for the great feedback. How much power are we talking? Regarding Class A, ripple voltage is probably less of an issue with them than a Class A/B as their standby load is so high - they already sag the voltage down - just hanging out;)
@@KissAnalog I frequently build in the DIY First Watt (Papa Pass) arena. So 25 watts on average translates to about 160W-200W total power for both channels. Straight DC has long been a goal for me. Solar/Battery to a First Watt amp is not generally available YET!
both types of formats are great but preferably under 40-30min maybe after the end of a series you can put them all together and also upload a super long one as a bonus anyway i see both types and i personally prefer longer when it comes to design stuff (now that i think of it all others have it sort of long) and watch it all in a few sittings since i need time to digest the info. reviews can be shorter maybe u can use a whiteboard to help there when comparing or to have a highlight list Regarding the APFC+LLC yes SMD would be my preference since it is higher performance and if you dont use very small part it is still of by hand regarding if populated or not i am not sure , that would also depend on how it was designed and IF you will make the design open source or not. Also great news regarding design videos since those are the ones that brought me here and i was just starting to deal with some low power audio amplifiers.
Yea, design videos and troubleshooting videos maybe in 2 or 3, 22 minute videos. Some test gear videos can be summarized, others should not be. Thru hole unpopulated boards are great but, some items are not offered in thru hole.😅
I am nobody to give advice to somebody much more established then myself. What my experience is? i just started my own channel. Its only a couple months old. 😊 My observation is: Shorts = Subs. Longs = Watch hours Both of each are beneficial . What that optimum ratio is?(shorts to longs) not sure 🤔. Enjoy your content. Learn a ton.
@ haha i struggle with keeping videos under 20 mins to. Its impossible to teach properly in this short period of time. I think eevblog does a very good job on his video length. Certainly mixes all types of formats. Together. Like your self. Lots for us “whipper snappers” to learn from experienced professionals.
Can you do stuff on insulation testers please? And those meters. Electrician here And would love to hear you on that. Thank you so much for the content
How does it change from a low switcher if using a linear regulator? surely you still having the switching in the system to DC with the regulator half regulation is it? Happy New Year
Great question!! Yes - you are correct. The low frequency switching section is still there when you add the linear regulator, so now it is 2 stage power supply. But the final design is a linear regulator now. Many HF switching power supplies start off with a low frequency switcher and then add the HF frequency switching as a second stage. So, they are referred to as Switching power supplies (because the final stage is where the name of the product comes from).
@@KissAnalog I didn't know that makes sense call a switcher. Can you lower the switching even more say 25-30 or 12.5 -15 hertz. Without using a linear regulator. if the linear regulator comes after the conversion to DC from the Bridge rectifier doesn't that produce noise as well? ls the noise halved because you've got the other component filtering it out the bridge rectifier, is the linear rectifier filtering out the bridge rectifier is that how it's working?
Eddie, what happened to The Wolverine amplifier? Wasn't Danny working on that? Longer videos that are educational. I always want to build my own boards. I want to use through hole components. I've done some isolated SMD....not fun
Yes sir! That is an easy drink!! Too bad they are so expensive. I bought that one for a Rant video - that I still need to do... What do I do for a beer now;)
I think you do a good job trying to explain high technical technology. I am an automotive technician and shop owner who is just trying to learn. I own a Pico scope myself for automotive. By the way it's not a mouse it is a Pink Elephant at 8%, it needs to be an elephant. Lol. As far as your critics are concerned in people are demanding. I deal with people all the time and there are those out there I would use a four-letter word but I'm not. Just do what you do and enjoy and keep going. You're obviously doing something right. Thank you for your time. Michael
If the content of the video, is concise, without too much padding, then the videos take as long as they do. What I dislike in watching YT material, is watching video that after X mins hasn't educated or enlightened me.
Do you, be a teacher. Your popularity will be entirely dictated by the quality of the content. Don't chase the algorithm, because the algorithm promotes trash. It was the long form videos on electronic engineering that got me into building my own small lab. Now this year, in 2025, I am learning calculus and applied advanced mathematics so I can make further use of that equipment. A great video idea for those new to this hobby would be a skill overview of what is required to do everything someone might want to do in electronics. A great format on a different topic(but related) would be what the youtube channel Math Sorcerer does. Provide value and people will subscribe. I had to stumble through the first couple of chapters of Art of Electronics to understand what I needed to know in order to ingest that information. Provide an on ramp to this information/hobby and you will be the catalyst of your own channels growth.
Thank you for the great advice! It is a bit crazy how I started this with one thing in mind - and that was to teach anyone who wanted to learn - how to design circuits. But then I got going and the numbers started to play a bigger part in it - so it is great to stop and re-evaluate and get the bearings again. I appreciate you taking the time to spell this out. BTW, I think the Art of Electronics is a great book - but can also be a poor book in offering too much about everything but not enough about any one thing...
@@KissAnalog Agreed, i have the Learning the Art of Electronics Lab book as well because of that. They seem a nice pair, but I would definitely be open to suggestions on a better "first introduction to electronics" if one exists.
Videos should not be more than 15 minutes. Also playback speed is usually 1.5x or more. No need to state or show every detail, of a topic or review. No need for Technical Videos to be like a live stream.
I would have to respectfully disagree. I think that the longer videos allow Eddie to really expand on fundamental concepts and what gets built on top of them. For me particularly this is a great source of information. I'm sure I'm not the only one but most of the viewers here may be more educated than I am in this in this field. I think it's great that somebody with this type of experience is willing to share his years of on-site field expertise. But I do understand the shorter format as well.
I don’t mind longer videos as long as they keep being engaging. Your videos are however sometimes much longer then they need to be because your approach can be chaotic and if that happens you are talking so much while a lot of it it then feels to me either barely relevant, or as dwelling to much. At which point i can get impatient and lose interrest in the video. Sorry 🤭. This happens sometimes, not every time of course. As to making videos shorter. That’s good when that’s not a goal in itself but has the intent of making them more to the point in order to align it better with the interests of your audience. I don’t have examples, that’s why i shall use the beer in the start of the video as one. I don’t mind you drinking a beer by the way, enjoy! However, right from the start you’ve made the video more then a minute longer then is needed while showing content that is of no interrest to me. See my point? Remember, both you and your audience are making an investment (time) in these videos. And please don’t take my comment above as a negative 👍
@@KissAnalog 🤣 I was saying it to maekygunnison, Loose lips as well , it's been a long strang trip this last week . Magic mushrooms weed and dark chocolate candy bars , I'm recharged ☢️
Thanks for the videos. I don’t know what i need until you show me. So it’s great what you do.
Don't worry too much about what people want, do what YOU want. people will follow.

My vote is for amp project. I like multi part video series, maybe one a week, same time each week a bit like tv show.

Your videos are however sometimes much longer then they need to be because your approach can be chaotic and if that happens you are talking so much while a lot of it it then feels to me either barely relevant, or as dwelling to much. At which point i can get impatient and lose interrest in the video. Sorry 🤭. This happens sometimes, not every time of course.
As to making videos shorter. That’s good when that’s not a goal in itself but has the intent of making them more to the point in order to align it better with the interests of your audience. I don’t have examples, that’s why i shall use the beer in the start of the video as one. I don’t mind you drinking a beer by the way, enjoy! However, right from the start you’ve made the video more then a minute longer then is needed while showing content that is of no interrest to me. See my point? Remember, both you and your audience are making an investment (time) in these videos. And please don’t take my comment above as a negative 👍
Yes, shorter videos please.
