Is TDS360 scope any good at all? Is it good enough for
audio work? I do have 2465B and I like it but sometimes
I need to document a waveform that is impossible with it.

I wouldn't trade a TDS360 for a 2465B for audio work. If
you're thinking of adding a digital scope, fine, but don't
toss out your fine 2465B. As for waveform photos, do what

No, I'm not yet out of my mind to trade 2465B for anything else, it stays no
matter what. I'm thinking of buying TDS360 in addition to it for occasional
screen capture or may be some one-shots... That's why I don't wanna buy
any new digital scope, I wanna buy a decent unexpensive one. But I don't
wanna buy a total crap either that's why I'm asking...

Jim Williams always did and still does for his fine up-to-
date Linear Technology application notes, as well as some
datsheet figures, use an analog scope and a camera!

With a good digital camera, a macro lens, and a framing
setup, you can get screen shots that are superior to most
any digital scope. With that said, personally I wimp out
and use various digital scopes for screen shots, even if
they are imperfect. :-)

Yeah, if I were writing application notes for LT I would've had such a setup
in my office. If not those several Windose LeCroys we do have...

This is all for my hobby that is mostly tube audio stuff. And I have my
reasons to suspect that my wife would call those guys with long-sleeved
shirts (which usualy weared with skeeves tied at one's back) handy if I
start fitting a camera to my scope :))
