spoke to svs,real cool people!he was kind of amazed that the person at rat shack didn't know there was a replacement model.i think i'll buy from svs even though a couple bucks more!
i'm still not happy with RS anyway after my remote deal.

called RS back...MORONS!!!after a 15 minute ordeal(he had to find the number i had!!!) i was told i could come in and pay for it and they would ship it to me!if i want to pay and wait,why not order from svs?(and not leave the house)

un.......believeable(you can ad-lib if you like wink )

i only called RS back to aggravate the situation.i really hope to never deal with them again.

Is this the analog or the new digital meter?

new analog,svs said they had them apart,same components,smaller case.

i was led to believe to stay away from the digital.correct?

The digital meter also has a progress bar along the bottom that provides a function that maybe similar to the fluctuation of the VU meter, but I'm not sure. Although, I did like the VU meters of my Phase Linear, when I had it running.



- Analog meters, makes you want to go out and buy a tube amp laugh Oh, and the analog type is less expensive.

i got my meter.calibrated my speakers.everything was within .5db(except the sub).pretty impressive considering my main listening position is off center of the room.

and just for fun,my normal listening level is right around 104 db and my favorite 'demo'(godsmack-changes-dvd) has a couple 116db peaks(no audible clipping) and from the unplugged port of my sub,3 feet away,i slam it at 126db with power to spare.

of course all my stereo buddies want to borrow it,i had to make a waiting list!

i'm looking forward to calibrating my truck stereo when i get it rebuilt.the 3 jl 10w3-d6 subs are gone but i just bought a brand new 10w7 that is just a monster(30lb driver).i'll get pics soon(my camera went on vacation)
