| Re: help a newbie out Having just purchased a BFD this week, I can tell you that the combination of a BFD (1124P for me), REW, and the members of this site is worth far more than the cost of the SMS1.
I own a nice laptop but I had to order a USB sound card for the line-in for $60.00. Add the $100.00 for the BFD, about $20.00 for cables/adapters for a grand total of about $180.00, and I have my sub performing better than ever. Not to mention that the REW software is very cool and VERY easy to use.
Anyway, having just been through the setup of a BFD with REW, I can tell you that I'm very happy with the end results. The fact that it only cost me about $180.00 is fantastic! Unless the SMS1 is going to do something specifically for your needs that a BFD cannot, I can't see how anyone could justify over $400.00 of additional cost for a set it and forget it device. |
