Subject: RE: 2nd stages
It's ironic that so many people try to use the G200B or the TX40 for a
secondary in order to save a few bucks, since they are actually better
suited for primary use than secondary - the problem is, since the are
balanced, they are very sensitive, but since they only have one adjustment
-lever height - they cannot really be detuned and are happier in your mouth
than hanging around your neck.

More expensive 2nds like the TX50, G250 and G500 may be balanced, but have
separate effort adjustments, which allow detuning. Cheaper ones like the SP
190/380 aren't balanced, are less sensitive, and can also be detuned even
further if desired. It's the ones in the middle that give the trouble.
