I have never used the Courtryman microphone so I can not compare them but the sound quality is very good.

Not sure why the price difference. I have used the e6 in the past for speaking. Is it nicer.... Yes. Are there better technical advantages.... Yes. On the other hand, can anyone in my church tell the difference? Nope, expect the one guy who has done professional sound and he says it is minimal. If you have a good person working the board, this mic is great. I do not worry if something happens to it. I bought two to guest speakers have one and don't mess mine up. The sermon recordings come out clear and crisp. Only do the e6 if the $300+ is no big deal or you will be outside a lot. Other than that this mic has been great since day one.

It is a quality issue. I only use mine for voice and it seems fine for that though the sound board folks had to do some work to dial it in correctly. The biggest difference to me is that I've never been able to get it to fit solidly and comfortably. The boom is much thinner and so wobbles a lot and the earpiece just doesn't bend into shape as easily. Still satisfied with the purchase given the price difference but you really do get what you pay for.

Mics are made to different quality standards and the frequency response is somewhat better on the more expensive ones. You need to decide what is the purpose you have for the Mic. We use 3 different kinds at our church service and for that purpose it is hard to tell the difference between the more expensive and the cheaper ones. But one thing I know is that through use sometime they get abused or dropped, and we have a number of them in stock due to the lower price, so we just throw away the damaged ones. Remember even the expensive ones are subject to abuse. Hope this helps.

Because they are VERY fragile and die extremely easily! They are also not sonically the same as a Countryman. The boom part snaps VERY easily, and once it snaps, it's dead.

Cheaper because it's built in China with inferior specs and no research and development costs is my take. I've had two of these and both failed at the tail end where it comes out of the belt pack. The sound was very good but then it started to have a lot of static from the end wearing out. Bot didn't last long. You do get what you pay for.

that's what I saw also. I submitted my question to Poulan support via their email link on Jan 18th but have not received a response yet; will post here when/if I get one. I've tried to find a local hardware store that carries this model so that I could look at it but no luck. Its kind of confusing because there is also an ES350 model which is advertised as 3.5 hp. Also, on my 400E the part number on the motor housing lists it as 16" chain and bar which it isn't.

I didn't know the one with Bluetooth costs the same. I would have picked that one instead. I do know that other reviews said the steering wheel controls didn't work for them but it works for me. I have thoroughly enjoyed this product so far.

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I am unable to find the EH150 for a cheap price unless what you consider cheap is not so cheap for me. Can you please tell me exactly which model you meant is cheap?

The collets are interchangeable but I have used many different brands and the SE is as good or better. I had planned to fix two that cost alot more but I like this one. Its quieter, real varialble speed, and runs longer and cooler than my Forner, Rotozip and others that cost more. You really can't go wrong. Honestly, I bought it because of the nice set of grinders and accesories. I had no ides that it is so good. ter.

Hi CB,I am looking at KEF's at 6ave, they have some great package deals. Did you consider the KEF 3005 before deciding on 5005? I am confused between both. Price difference is three hundred dollars.ThanksB

Forgot to mention I paid over $75 more for mine used through Warehouse Deals. It was just a dinged up box model, but I've never seen the price as low as it is now brand new, anywhere! Buy it fast, it's over $100 more mid-winter!

The 680e has an elliptical stylus and the 680 has a spherical stylus. The 680e is better for high quality home playback and the 680 is better for DJ use. The 680e produces very nice sound although the tracking is a little heavy for my liking.

I always liked the 450, The 450 is proven to last ....but honestly the EV sounds cleaner. For now I will choose the EV.

You don't need it, but it is better with it (full-function). If you don't have the E17, yet, I would get that first and see if you even need this. That's what I did, but I ended up getting both.

Slight advantage to the Oshlun over the Freud 208, mainly due to having more teeth. The Oshlun isn't quite as clean as the DW/Delta 7670 though, which tends to run a bit higher in price. Any of those will have significantly better performance than the $30-$50 sets from Avanti, HF, Mibro, Vermont American, Promax, and others. However, none of these entry level sets do as well as the premium sets from Infinity, Freud, Forrest, Systimatic, Ridge Carbide, etc @ $200+, mainly due to the design and quality of manufacture...there really is a notable difference, but the better ~ $90+ sets can be "good nuff". It all boils down to need, usage, economics, and priorities.

I don't know the exact weight.(Its been a few years since I've looked at the packing list) the box is quite heavy. One person can handle it with a dolly, but cannot maneuver it around the house unless you take piece by piece. Its a quality piece of equipment. The e35 is a lesser priced alternative with the only difference being in the electronic console. I have the e55.. then my wife bought the e35.. I see no noticeable difference between them.

It works great with my E5, so I see no reason why it shouldn't work with the E6. Hope this helps.

The simple answer is that the 680E.V3 has an "elliptical" stylus (or, needle). It is supposed to have better sound quality and requires less tracking force but will wear out your records faster. If you are a DJ who mostly mixes and does blends go with the E version. If you use Serato or another DVS then you should be looking at a different cartridge altogether.

I think the price change is due to new product being introducd. I too am a bit frustrated because a week ago I could have purchased one for $99. Now you can't find them for much less then $200. iHome is coming out with a Zune compatible clock radio for $99 and Altec already has the iM414 speaker set that has a battery option for $99. So the price on the m604 got jack back up.

Hmm,, I looked at both. I liked the 630 more. I was able to keep the price within $99 of the 530 when I got mine at Circuit City. It was just prior to them announcing they were shutting down. I think they were willing to deal on certain items. They matched the Amazon price in December and I was very happy with the deal. Although I always forget Amazon has the edge after taxes, but I got it the day I looked at it so to me it was worth the extra $. The 120HZ is a constant on the LN52A630. It's not to be confused with the Auto Motion Plus feature. The AMP is great for sports and documentary type programs or anything in a live format like news and such. For movies I'd turn it off. Both were nice sets, but for NOT much more $$ at the time I bought, I'd say the 630 was the better value.

Thank you, Jerry. I really appreciate your note and your help. It sounds like the e250 may do what I need, but if you don't mind could you try leaving it off for a few hours or overnight to see if it still "remembers" where it was? If the e250 can hold its place for the ten hours or so between my two commutes I'll buy one in a heartbeat. <s>
