[sdiy] How much DMM accuracy do you need?

>OK. How much accuracy do you *really* need there?

IMHO "need" is a relative term. I managed to build my first few synths with no more test kit than a £5 logic probe and a £3 DMM (which has since been replaced - but still gets used).

The next few builds *needed* an oscilloscope - so I bought a 2nd hand 20Mhz dual trace scope. I couldn't get by without it now and I'm looking at buying a second, better, 4 trace scope.

For my current project - there's no way I could complete it properly without a dedicated frequency counter.

Perhaps this is more of an observation than an answer... :)
