On sale for $200. I know this is rated as an electrician’s product, but useful to have those features.
Main question, is it good for the low current, low voltage stuff we would generally care about for audio gear? Or something better?
Thanks!

That's a nice DMM, you could consider the 17B+ or even the 15B+, for a less invstment, but those are not near discounted like that 117.
I have the most basic Fluke 10 from 15+ years ago and it works great, use it a few times a week and never let me down. IMO all FLuke meters are great, you just get more bells and whistles for the eatra $$$, so make sure whichever you pick, that it does the things you have to have and you'll be happy.

Thanks. Mainly want to make sure there is nothing really cool I'm missing or would want. I know there are other tools for other tasks. For example I was gifted a capacitor tester.
Fluke 117 is an "electricians meter"* which made me reluctant for some reason. Despite that I bought one and it is the DMM I work most with 🙂 It is a great instrument with good ergonomics.
*The Volts and Ampères it measures in electronics are the same as in electrical devices.

I've used Fluke meters for decades as a tradesmen and have never had one let me down, despite some rough handling at times. I currently own an 87V, 289 and a Brymen 869S.
My take is that you can't go wrong with Fluke but Brymen offers terrific bang for the buck. In use, my Brymen stands toe to toe with the 289 until factoring in the graphical display of the Fluke.
