what they said^^^^
well-- you gotten some great replies-could have been better if you had finished your personal profile-- I know at SOME forums that may not be a super idea, however here and at LPF the best help comes with location AND knowing other members that you can meet with... face to face is best hands down-- and one reason LEMs are so popular..<br>
<br>
one thing mentioned directly is like the 'rig' is to buy a good soft FIRST.<br>
Avoid crap like I show. spend the $375 (used or $500+ new and Quickshow.<br>
Worst case would be later selling the DAC (FB3 FB4 ) later and in the long run you have spent very little--if you own the DAC QS is free. anybody can download BUT only FB3 owners can run the soft. --you just missed a chance to buy Quickshow for $375 (two of them actually)<br><br>
If money is very tight--you may be happy with the LaserKing PD2 mentioned.<br>
They have some nice features OK scanners and not hard to upgrade with better parts--IIRC DZ is the guy to see on that.(or was it DK?) BTW THIS would be a good time to get ungraded-- David may have extra time ATM. but not later.<br>
Read the thread here on the upgrades.<br><br>
I too would say buying cheaper would be a mistake.<br><br>
I sold 10 LKPDs via Group Buy--& afaik only one buyer later sold hers. ( I have three already so...) She could have gotten more $$ imho.<br>
No better time than now to look for a good deal on QS- place a WTB in BS$T.<br>
NOW! an owner may want to sell his (or hers) The DACs afaik do not break etc.<br>
The soft is upgraded a lot & we get that free.<br>
The Pangolin Show Portal allows us to dwld free song modules so we need only to buy the audio and put it together with the module in QS-- these are NOT to be used for profit.. BUT fine to enjoy and show friends. There is a 'Pango' forum and awesome folks at Pango -(who give away the very best black T shirts)-so great help is free, easy and Quick. They are regular supporters of LEMs-- often doing demos & product reveals at the bigger LEMs.<br>
A $500 QS makes for a wonderful door prize. AixiZ Laser (houston)gave us one of them for a LEM in Tx--'Platinum' Jonathon was the lucky winner at TEXLEM 2012. (IMO it was fitting as he traveled the longest distance to make the event)<br>
<br>
LAST --missing a LEM that you could have attended is a shame.. if you follow 'Meets n Greets' you may see one- Pop-up LEMs are small and often very little advanced notice.. SO with your location in your profile THAT will show every time you post.<br>
So you will not be left out.. the LEM host (s) will invite you BUT only if they know where you are. <br>
Upcoming TEXLEMs are being planned ---- most likely near Houston/DFW/San Antonio, Austin or San Marcos. <br>
<br>
hope to see you all at the next TEXLEM --hak<img src="images/smilies/retardoface.png" border="0" alt="" title="RetardoFace" smilieid="14" class="inlineimg">
