Having set up my new HT, and not having a freakin' clue as to what I am really doing, it has been suggested to me that I look into purchasing an SPL Meter, and a calibration disc. Even though my Yamaha RX V 2400 has the YPAO feature, it is suggested the discs are better. True?
My setup features Axiom M22's/QS8's/VP150 Stryke Sub.
Now I have seen three diff calibration discs:
1) Avia Calibration CD
2) Sound and Vision HT Tune Up
3) Digital Video Essentials

A)Which is a better disc?
B)Easiest to use?
C)Better Buy?
D)Do I now need an SPL Meter?
E)If so, what type and where to purchase, and how much am
I looking at?
F)Is it worth the investment for such a short term use?


I am willing to learn, and have a passion for getting things right, yet my patience never seems to last when I confront such an assuming task as this HT world.
Believe me both computers and my new HT are both comparable when giving me agita!
Thanks for the info, have a safe healthy happy New Year!!:b

What would the offset cost be to have someone come into my home and calibrate my system and perhaps go thru the features of my receiver. Based on anyones experience or field of expertise. I live in the NYC area
