>>Incidentally, does SVS ship their items from Canada? I noticed on their site that they have vendors in Toronto. This would save the tariffs at any rate. I'll call them to ask if nobody here knows the answer directly.

As far as I know they ship direct from the US. Didn't know they had any vendors in Toronto; this must be recent.

Yeah, Jack, but the analog is "warmer".

It's a personal preference I guess.

So, are you an "Analog Kid" or "Digital Man"? ;-)

Hi all,

It's whatever you get used to. I grew up with a preference for analog meters, so I used to recommend the analog version of the RS meter. But we have an expensive digital SPL meter in the listening room at the Axiom plant and I found I got used to it pretty quickly.

If you measure SPLs in concert halls during live performances or in movie theaters, as I do on occasion, I think the analog version is easier to read in dim lighting. I wish it had a backlight button.

Regards,

Today's tidbit of useless information ...

During Wilma I stepped out and onto the covered front entry way to our house with my trusty Radio Shack digital version SPL meter and got a peak reading of 92 db's. That was primarily the wind and rain blowing through the trees, I thought that was wild.

Now back to the regularly scheduled program.

Maybe it all depends on whether you use or prefer an analog watch (you know, with the hour and minute hands) or a digital watch. I like the analog time piece.

Good point Alan. I have used both at home for calibrating and either works well for leveling the channels. But when I did frequency sweeps (manually) and had to read and record the values, I found the digital was much easier for that.

Alan, I'm the exception to the rule. I prefer the digital SPL, but here is my watch.
