I want to get something different and have better values than Littmann's.
I spent a few hours going through the forum... And there are just so many brands that I'm a little overwhelmed and need a bit of help narrowing my search.
So my question is: What are some good stethoscopes between $90-$140 that are not Littmann's?
Brands I saw while I was browsing the forum...
DRG - Seems pretty neat! Doesn't get destroyed by skin oil, no cord noise... Does the manufacturer have a website?
Ultrascope - Seem to be the 2nd most popular after Littmann? Has interesting designs... But that doesn't really interest me.
ADC
GRx
Tycos
Prestige - Low end brand?
Some sites that offer reasonable shipping to Canada would also be nice. Right now I have my eyes on a DRG PureTone Cardiology for $110 shipped...
Kila is a great alternative, I have Littman Cardiology III and Master Cardiology but also have the single master Cardiology from Kila and it works really well.
Kila new $70, used with new eartips and diaphram (so is new everywhere) Approx $40. I am selling one off myself.
I can't tell the dif. They are exactly alike in structure and acoustics. Except the GRX is half the price, and you can't get Cardilogy IIs anymore (though, they are BETTER than Cardio IIIs, IMHO. :-)

Hope this helps.
