[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 477180, member: 3149"] The 4500 is a great first machine. Not too difficult. Just take every opportunity to read the manual. Start with the factory settings, and don't tweak things too far off the factory preset for starters. If you Auto Tune and Ground balance correctly, you will find gold. List of things to get? Here's what I'd recommend, in order of importance: 1. Water bottle and pouch that you can click onto your harness, or a water bladder.... or both 1B. Of equal importance are good sturdy non-metallic boots. I use Oliver AT's, but there's a few others around 2. A padded control box cover 3. Spare power lead 4. Better headphones, or at least an external speaker as a back-up 5. A good modern sensitive coil. 14x9" Evo or 12" Evo - both go great on the 4500. 6. SteelPhase sP01 Audio Enhancer And maybe Number 1 on the list should be a quality pick. [/QUOTE]
