Have you come across the volt-nuts list?

I see a bizzare review of an HP 3457A meter on utube

where the guy determines the noise level of the 6.5/7.5 digit meter by
measuring the voltage of what he describes as a "general purpose lab
power supply". Is it me, or is it a bit dumb to try to "measure" the
noise level of a laboratory multimeter by using a general purpose lab
power supply.

I must admit, I thought that using a battery would have been stable at
least short term, but it seems there is noise on a battery - something
I was not aware of until today.
