Aureous Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Got my machine back on the dirt today after having the audio mod done. Using the speaker only, it certainly shows a major difference. With the factory BT headphones, there was zero difference, at least to my ears. Coz I got a 'good one' from the start, I think the mod on my 6000 didn't add any benefit to me. I use the factory BT headphones every time. The real benefit from the mod is for videoing your finds and having the speaker do the work lol. The Y axis coil-tilt was still the same, noisy as hell. Hopefully the NF 12x7 mono that I'm supposed to receive tomorrow will add some ACTUAL benefit. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Clark Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Your experience mirrors mine to a T. I have had a good one from the start, only use the supplied BT phones but early on had a coil failure, it was quickly replaced. When the CT 10 x 5 was available I got one. I do not notice any increase in sensitivity, but it is more maneuverable. I view the update as something that must be done much like a part recall on your car. I bought the detector Nov 21, update was done when I read here JasonG had sent his away, so I have had it back for a few months. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcoinhunter Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hope you let everyone know if the NF is any better than the 11 inch stock coil. Thanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 What you've basically been able to do is prove they're likely all faulty, as you say yours was a good one and didn't go mental for nothing with headphones, yet even though yours was one of the good ones the fix obviously made a good difference to using the speaker thereby proving your detector too had a problem, just not as bad as some others. Hopefully over time you start to notice some improvement even when using headphones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
