Testing Your Gear!

[BIGBOD]

Does anyone know of somewhere you can buy the products used to test your gear to find out how good your gear is?

[goldenear]

I doubt that it would be worth it to invest in that equipment when it's easy enough just to send your gear to a lab and have them verify it for you.

which is also pretty costly unfortunately...

[goldenear]

only $90...

Interesting...90 bucks. It's too bad we don't have the organizational "prowess" (and/or trust) to pool some cash, have bros donate small portions of their gear and create an AR consumer reports for juice. I'm actually somewhat surprised someone hasn't started such a service where for a nominal fee they'll send you results on some of the more popular generics...

[goldenear]

There have been results of tested gear posted on the 'net. But a lot of the generics vary so much from lot to lot that the applicability of those test results is somewhat questionable.

[BigGreen]

Very true...i guess i just got excited

[goldenear]

Actually, one of the best ways to do this is to round up a group of guys who use the same source and test that source's products to verify their integrity (if there's any doubt).

goldenear: how did you go about getting your gear tested can you recommend a lab? please pm me with any suggestions...i think i have some fake shit but what to be certain before i throw it away.

also, thats a good idea about pooling moneyy together to form some kind of data base to compare different generic products against.
