Well, my trusty DMM finally died on me and I am in the market for a new one. My old one worked fine but didn't have a CAP test. Nor did it have a transistor test. Given that my tube amp building is the main reason for my DMM, which one would you recommend? I would like to keep it way (if possible) less than 100.00$
Thanks
Brian

It was more than 100.00 but, my Fluke 83 has been used daily for years. I don't think I will have to replace it anytime soon.

I've always been a Fluke guy with company money (23, 29, 36, 43, 77, 87, 741, 743B, and a Scopemeter). All way more than $100. For home, I bought one of these:

Works fine. I got lucky and got one on eBay for $19 shipped. RadioShack gets ~$85 for it.

Th Extech is a pretty good unit for the money, and the temp probe works well too.
