Affordable measuring equipment

Has anyone used Mighty Mike II as speaker measuring? Would you recommend it?

Link for Mighty Mike: http://www.audioxpress.com/bksprods/kits/kd-4.htm

What would be your recommend for a inexpensive HW/SW tool for making measurements?

Mitey was first described in Audio Amateur dozens of years ago -- I believe that kits for the original might be available on the audioxpress website -- version II overcomes a few of the problems.

i think it was a great idea to employ these Panasonic cartridges this way.

other affordable equipment (am I broken vinyl?) the HP3581 wave analyzer -- highly sensitive, great dynamic range, portable, heavy, tracking generator and usually around $50 on EBay. http://www.tech-diy.com/HP3581/Hewle...ckard%20HP.htm

I've got a 3581A (courtesy of Mr. Curl), and a pretty fine unit it is. As a RMS AC voltmeter alone, it's worth multiples of its selling price.

A good soundcard and software like Rightmark or Dazyweb and you've got capability that would have cost $10,000+ just a few years ago- and for under a hundred bucks.
