Binomania Inside

Before a final review is published, each instrument is analyzed through repeated tests, direct comparisons, and field tests.

In Binomania Inside I share these preliminary stages: test notes, initial impressions, technical comparisons, previews and rumors, useful for understanding advantages, limitations and real suitability of an instrument before a purchase choice.
