You ever think maybe that story got a little better each time it was told? I've seen good operators, but a quarter inch blind sounds like a stretch.

Honestly I've had the opposite luck with used gear (got burned pretty bad last year). Sometimes the old meter just needs a proper calibration, saves a ton of cash.

Honestly, sometimes I think that feedback is overrated. If the story is good, who cares if the voices sound a little similar? Not every character needs a whole new way of talking.

Honestly markl75, I gotta disagree. Sometimes that multi-day hunt is the best part. It forces you to learn the whole system inside out. You end up checking every ground and tracing every wire, and you find three other problems you never knew about. Finding the bad connector fast just means you'll probably miss the deeper issues. That quick fix can come back to bite you later.

Miss that shared chaos where you'd bump into the same people every day.
