[QUOTE="Gold1hunter, post: 657939, member: 14696"] I agree volume on low (gpx6000) but I hate headphones so use a Bluetooth receiver (with Aptx) attached to a Steelphase booster and a good set of earbuds (Flares Jet3) EMI is rarely a problem. As for reliability - well I have only met 1 person that hasn't had an issue with the GPX6000 mainly the 11 inch coil fails but other have had complete machine replacements & some don't even work out of the box! I think Minelab are being let off the warranty hook as other manufacturers introduce their coils (l'm waiting patiently for the Nugget Finder 12x7) as the Minelab coils can't fail under warranty if they're not being used, they should be paying Coiltek & Nugget Finder for their expertise in an area that Minelab are obviously so lacking. Main issue for GPX6000 owners (me included) is after 3 years the warranty runs out & as there's so many complete failures & replacements happening under warranty THINK ABOUT THAT! [/QUOTE]
