I just got one of these and I think it's something everybody who installs should carry in their toolbox. For all of you who are DEAD SET on using a meter to set your gains, save that cash you would be using for a good meter, and spend it on one of these... Buy one of these instead of the meter, and get about a thousand times more testing equipment... AND get a FREE meter while you're at it... ------------- It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I have been eyeing that thing for a while, but haven't had the extra money available yet. However it would be much easier than setting up the non-portable scopes. I like that it comes with a meter too. It would be nice to have an extra one. Steven Kephart Adire Audio -------------

Ahhh......nice, thanks for the link, looks to be a good thing worth a try, I am going to order one in the next couple days to try. It can't hurt, and its only $200. Like Stephen said, I could also use an extra meter in my box.

That's been on my Christmas wish list for a little while now, too, as I spotted that a few weeks ago... My wife tells me I'm going to have to do some of this stuff for $$ if I'm going to think about buying equipment like that. Ahh, tools that make you drool....I would gladly trade in my lawnmower!

Man you guys use meters and oscillascopes to tune your amps? I never thought any one did that.
