Hi David, I did not jump to that conclusion. But I have followed many aural tuners who were not as well trained as I would hope. Better for them to use the excellent tools we now have. The technicians I admire most are those that use everything at their disposal to offer great service to their clients. If they use the kitchen sink and it helps *go for it*. If the client is happy--great. I just happen to live in a great wasteland as far as competant aural tuners are concerned. I am not suggesting this is the case in the rest of the world, just in my local area. Say 100 kilometers? (or for the metrically challenged 100 k.)
