very different for me.

Good news -- thanks for your response. Indeed there is a calibration
file available for the Analog Radio Shack SPL on the RPLusD sites. See:
http://www.etfacoustic.com/support.html.
I wonder if it is in a format that will work with either Acourate or
DRC...

About the sterile sound, if I may call it like that...I have the the
exact issue (and taste in music) and it took me some time to figure out
it's Bryston+PMC studio sound by swapping cords
Help :)
looking for any pointers to threads discussing the digital volume

Any directions appreciated

is not the Bryston amp clipping.

If the Brysons are are stereo amps ( I believe they are) you can do a

There's interesting discussion on Lavry's own forums about his choice

The input sensitivity on the Krell amp is 2.33Vrms (and gain of 25db),

Does the 4B ST have 1V/2V "gain" switches on the rear panel.
The SST does and with my SB3, I have to set it to the 'lower gain'
setting of 2V and I still feel I am getting a very high level out of
it. If I set it to the 'higher gain' setting of 1V I would be worried
