Some very recent hobby gear purchases..
TENMA 72-10495 2CH 0-30V 5A Power Supply
Finally gave in and bought a "better" power supply - I was tired of tickling the adjustment pot on my old one to tweak the voltages, overall quite pleased with it, although I haven't looked inside to see what revision the boards are, the transformer voltages are relay tapped and the fan sounds fairly quiet, a couple of annoying issues but for the price you can't grumble.
UT612 LCR ESR Meter
Pretty pleased with it, nice sorting and rel features. I know Martin did a video on this one; but one missed point was the metal bladed thing that came in the box (see. top right in his video) you use that to Cal the meter by stuffing it into the slot and pressing the Cal button, you do one Cal step as "open" then one Cal step as "shorted", the pass / fail on screen is to show that the Cal went ok; I'm guessing you have to repeat the process if you are using the tweezers as opposed to the slot for the device under test.

You have some issues with the PSU? Which?
I have bought the Korad3005 (but only a single channel device) around one year ago.
No detection of any problem since then. The PSU works simply quite well.
Should I pay particular attention to something?

It's niggles with the control operation of it, not any electrical issues I've come across.
Well after I saw "EEVblog #315 - Korad KA3005P Review/FAIL" I was hoping mine wasn't one of the early models / boards.
