ooh! great tip on used lectro 200 series

Of course! I just wonder why there is so much variety and confusion in what to buy when it comes to wireless systems. I wish it would be more simple to wrap my head around - like here - this is a good product that performs and people love. I have such a hard time chosing an ice cream flavor, so chosing the right wireless system for me (plus the fact that you don't really know how much you love something till you are out in the feild) proves way more challenging. Also thanks for your insights on stores! I am a stranger here in LA and am not sure what the selling climate is like and wanted to investigate.

On the lavs question - I actually do own a Sanken COS-11 that I attached to my e3 - but I'm actually talking the whole thing: transmitter, reciever If I wanted to upgrade to a better lav set of reciever/transmitter and lav mic itself - are there all in one affordable packages out there - just like how you buy an e3 set?

Hey everybody, I'm a newish sound mixer, been doing it for 3 years. Own a 702, fp33, and basic senh e3 lavs and shotgun etc. I'm NYC based but in LA till November. Was curious what's the best store to buy sound gear out here in Los Angeles? Best bang for your buck/offers good deals? - also, I know what's the creme de la creme of mixers, recorders, shotguns - but am so unsure about what's the best lavs to get. I'd like to make the step up from the e3, but when it comes to lectros and all that - there's SO MANY OPTIONS when buying!!! - so I'm looking to buy the '416' of lavs. What do you recommend? Stuff I'm hoping to buy soon: The 664 or 788, a set of comteks (for monitoring), 2 sets of lavs, and the 416 of course - I'm working with an NTG-2 shotgun. Thanks for your thoughts! Just wanted to see about buying out here vs in NYC where my options are ProSound, Gotham, or B and H. - Heather
