[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 81041, member: 1582"] I guess i'm buying a set of headphones, and indicates the importance of these devices if stock speakers aren't that crash hot. My .5 nug I reckon is just as flat. So have lost about 6cm..... that's a lot by not using headphones. When I have headphones will post the results again. I have to stress to new prospectors.......while the VLF Xterra 70 appears to ping deep compared to the PI F1A4, the reality in the field is a squawking machine is an annoying machine. As Downhalo suggests, the PI will remain much more quiet and not go off every metre on hot soil/rocks like the VLF will, and essentially ruin your day if you are after gold targets. If you "dumb the machine down" you immediately loose min 50% depth if not more. Its the difference between "happy to walk around all day swinging" and "this is giving me the shits my ears are ringing I give up" after half an hour. Id love to see how the SD series compares to the F1A4 Nuggets 17cm on a 1g is impressive. [/QUOTE]
