Rat Shack SPL meter calaibration
You need the RS Analog Meter.Its what all test discs/reviewers reccomend/{Avia etc]. 
TUNERS..anyone?
Analog is once again the answer.Deep and full sound for any Music.HK Citation IIIX Vintage Tube tuner Rocks!For a few hundred Bucks up.Or spend several thousand+ on a digital. 
Progressive talk
As far as German Prog goes Eloy-Ocean,Dawn, and Live and Grobschnitt-Solar Music Live and their 1st self titled are not to be missed as well as others by these Bands.All are now remastered.Krautrock to me is straight forward rock and roll with the... 
Sony DVP-NS500V vs. Marantz CD-5000?
SACD in the Sony sounds better than my Cal Audio 24/96 Tube dac.Even with MFSL cd's, cd performance is below par.System is Music Reference Preamp and Amp[RM-200]. 
Tube reliability in amps
Might add the Music Reference RM-200 to this list.Lots of bass for a tube amp and absolutly beauitiful to look at.All Music Reference products designed for long tube like. 
Re amps with balanced inputs
Music Reference RM-200 has balanced inputs only.A hybrid SS/Tube design.The best of both worlds +.A Great Modern sounding Tube amp.Punchy bass and silky detailed mids and highs.

Chord 64 dac or Tube Tech 64 vs. kora hermes
I would compare The above DAC's to a $200+ Sony DVP-NS500V with Multi Channel and Stereo SACD.Spend a few hundred on the player and a thousand on SACD's.Best and cheapest upgrade to my system by far.SACD blows away my MFSL Gold CD's and 24bit cd's... 
AIR'S "10000Hz Legend".
This may very well be Album of the year for 2001 !! 
Where can I get XLR to RCA adapters?
From Cardas.$54 I use them on my Music Reference RM200.
