Chinese 'Hybrid Closed Loop' steppers vs 'regular' open loop steppers

Thanks for the other replies so far. Thankyou to Muzzer for the headsup on Lichuan on AliExp. JAZZCNC thanks for the above - I've found a couple of very useful comments of yours on similar threads regarding importance of power supply voltage etc. Plenty more reading and research to do on my part before I start spending any money....Muzzer your comment about the 'Domestic Manager' reminded me of an older guy I used to work with who used to recount every detail of his exploits to keep his spending beyond the control of 'the Chancellor' back at home.....

OK guys, I accept this should be a separate thread but a couple of you have mentioned the domestic budget issue...
Over the last 40 years of mostly happy if not continuous marriage I've adopted the principle that you cannot have two different standards of living in one marriage. Decide how much you can afford to allocate to hobbies per month, divide by two and that's how much you each have to spend. No arguments, no subterfuge, no deceit, no problem. If you cannot see the logic in this then you're living in the wrong century.
