Signal enhancers and boosters

Picked up a Gold Snitch signal booster from The Prospectors Depot today.
Never really used a prospecting specific booster before. (tried a few small amps on the QED without finding much benefit).
Gave it a small go this arvo with SP headphones and was pleasantly surprised to find I could make a variety of sensitivity volume and threshold changes, with the booster allowing me to still hear a signal, but reducing the ground noise that accompanies running these settings at a higher level.

Still early days, and some new sounds to get used to using new sound gear, but I'm thinking this could have a positive benefit on future results.

After further testing with the booster, I struggled to find a way to use it and gain benefit, compared to the settings I've had success with, on the ground I detect. (east of GT).

While similar results could be achieved with the booster by detuning the zed. After running a noisy machine and getting a feel/ear for the different ground noises, taking it back to smooth and boosting always left doubt in my mind that I could be getting more out of it.

I spoke to and read about numerous experienced zed users, some see a benefit (mostly those in WA), and others don't feel the need.

I think at this point I'll stick with my natural hearing and a standard zed. But that's just me.
