I have the S & V disk, but was looking to get a little more detail. Which disc would you all suggest?

    DVE has crappy navigation and there is a problem with the subwoofer calibration tone. OTOH, DVE does 6.1/7.1 calibration, and the video sections are strong.

    Even though Avia is 5.1 only, it is still my reference standard for video and audio calibration.

    Hey Doc,

    I remember seeing one of your posts somewhere about how to construct FR response charts in Excel. Do you recall what site that was on (link)? Further, which downloadable test tones would you suggest? After reading your posts about the importance of variable phase, I want to practice with this prior to new equipment. Thanks and have a great weekend!
