OT: Phones (Re: Lo Fi Looping)
I hesitate to ask...a ways off looping topic (but loops sound nice on an
answering machine? :-)
Anyone have recommendations on a good cordless phone/answering machine
combo? I picked up a bright silver 2.4GHz Panasonic (KX-TGss57S). Nice,
BUT... the receiving and sending sound quality is tinny, crappy, sounding
like it's coming through a tunnel. By comparison, my old AT&T 5450 (which
I
bought used ten years ago) has a way better audio quality.
Any of you guys been through a similar purchase quest?
Regards,
David A.
