Iluv2zap, I don’t want to sound ungrateful. But I hope you can understand how someone seeking your help might find such unsolicited advice patronizing and dismissive. I have had chance to ponder your words the first time you uttered them to sammyanddaisy. Advice you gave despite the fact that this topic was created by the forum founder, who seemed to think it would remain helpful.
Perhaps I am still seeking those things you speak of, but on my own time I am choosing to make this part of my journey. I’m just not ready to purchase devices of questionable age and maintenance. And unless there is a magically priced entrant in this field, I am not yet able to afford one that is brand new. Until I am able to do one of those things, I would appreciate an answer to my present dilemma. A stylus with banana plug connectors.
That said, if you can point me to a credible sale for a blend capable device, I might even get excited enough to sing you praises.
