Re: need recommendation for digital multimeter

I'm needing to update the accuracy of my voltage measurements.

Looking for recommendations for a 4 1/2 digit or better
multimeter, specifically, would like to measure down to the
1000th of a volt as accurately as possible, including my
5 volt and 10 volt measurements.

I've done a lot of looking around, but the specs on these things
vary considerably. Some practical advice would be appreciated.

I like the Thurlby-Thandar multimeters. The 1906 - which I've used in
two different jobs - offers more than you ask for at a very reasonable
price, including four terminal resistance measurements and the
facility to log 100 successive measurements into local memory.

Their 1604 - at half the price - does pretty much exactly what you ask
for.

Clive Sinclair was involved when Thurlby-Thandar started up, but they
managed to stop him messing up their quality control fairly early on,
and they do seem to have managed to take advantage of Clive's genius
for finding really cheap ways of doing things, without getting stuck
with his compulsion to make the product too cheap to be reliable.
