      I've never used a TelOhmike, but have an LC75, which is a great instrument.        The 75 has an ESR function that the 53 lacks, but is otherwise very similar.        If you're going to buy a Z meter, get the 75.                     butOn Monday, October 15, 2012 6:34:46 PM UTC-4, Trailboss wrote:       > Disregarding the inductor function of the Sencore, what advantages,       >       > disadvantages for testing caps commonly found in audio amps.
