Just curious on what everyone is running as I need a new one! Any feedback is much appreciated. Should I get one that is analog or digital?

You can actually find the Radio Shack Analog SPL meter off of SVS's website. It's priced at $44 plus S&H. http://www.svsubwoofers.com/parts.htm

I have the newer analog version of the radio shack meter. Picked one up about four months ago. I think the old version was phased out. Call your local rat shack to see if they have any in stock. Otherwise order one from svs.
Good luck.

They are still selling the analog meter up in Canada, and it's still in the catalog. It's 69.99 CDN up here (more like 50 US than 40 US) but seems to work well and have a decent meter movement.

I have both Radio Shack models - the digital and analog. I don't know about the accuracy, but I find the analog meter just marginally easier to use. If you're interested in the digital meter (used only once), PM me and make me an offer.

I have the digital one from Radio Shack. I would have prefered the analog, but not enough to search to hard for it or wait too long. None of the radio shacks in my city had the analog so I went digital. It works fine.
