Certainly understand your comments about background noise and the like. And can
fully understand sticking to a tool (especially an expensive one) that is new and
helps you on your way. By all means.

I would encourage you tho to explore all ETDs as time and opportunity allow. My
own recent experience into this world has enriched my "tuning life" more then I
thought was possible, and it goes way beyond just being able to tune well.

Guess what I am saying is never stop thirsting for more learning, and ways to
learn. As for me... I wouldnt mind revisiting the Strobe approach (now in updated
technology I guess) myself. Would be interesting to make that comparison myself
really.

Good luck and keep posting to the list.
