Not Tony
Don't be like Tony

Of all the things you can build on this site, this is the absolute easiest thing. If you've ever built something else from on this site, you should be able to put this test cable together before lunch. UNLESS your name is Tony. If your name is Tony, I'd implore you to ask "What is DIYRE an acronym for?" Why does this item say "kit" in the title? Under "features", why does it say "Only three parts to solder"? Is there an "Assembly Guide" listed clearly as a resource on this same, clear and easy-to-read page? Without any sensitive parts, resistors to sort, or capacitors to handle with care, I'm shocked to see that there are any reviews for less than 5 stars. I never review anything, but I'm choosing just this once, out of spite for the stupidity of these lesser reviews, to say "For the love of all things electronic, what did you expect"? If you have a problem with this kit, you need to stop trying to build things for yourself. Actually, you need to consider whether you should be driving, cooking or using a remote, because if you have issues building this kit after building a preamp, you are a danger to yourself. Also, your preamp is, I PROMISE, not assembled correctly. Like your mother said, "If you can't find something nice to say, don't say nothin' at all."

Arrived as a kit

hmmm, I thought this was already assembled, yes it says kit, but pic is of it assembled and I didn't think for $20 you would actually send a test cable as a kit. for $20 it should already be assembled I didn't buy it to build it, I bought it to test a Mic Preamp after a build. lesson learned, don't count on anything in a pic. they have a few deceiving pics here on the website, buyer beware.

Must have for testing and calibration

Good price and straightforward instructions. Really quick and easy build that you need for testing and calibration of modules.

Works great!

Easy to build and makes testing my diy 500 series gear way easier.

Easy and relatively uncomplicated

Maybe it's just because I wasn't looking close enough, but I installed the ribbon cable upside down on one side because I wasn't paying close enough attention to where the red line on the cable was. Maybe in the instructions you guys could show pictures of the specific orientation of the ribbon and mention the red line.
