Well said, indeed!

HUZZAH for color and brightness adjust ability on the VU Meters and you are correct again on HDMI ARC (and perhaps eARC?)!

I’m with you on that, ORT. It would be a very aesthetically pleasing unit with the addition of some bouncing needles and a lovely glowing light. Though I would further suggest, since we are being needy here, make those lights adjustable in color and intensity. Even further, let’s not forget the decadent and oh so enticing cherry on top – HDMI ARC, please.

Now. Before it is ever released upon the buying publice. Looks matter and all this needs to complete its look are a pair of working VU Meters.

Some might say “No one records anymore, ORT. Who needs VU Meters?” I say “The real audio enthusiasts with the wherewithal to buy one of these beauties, that’s who?!

And to those that claim “…VU meters introduce “noise” into the playback!” I say, “STIU you frAudiophile”!! No one believes your stupid lies anymore!”

Looks matter. If one can hardly tell the REAL WORLD difference between integrated amps, then I say “…show them the difference. CLASSIC LOOKS!”
