Most of my working life was involved with broadcast & industrial video & audio equipment, so the balanced audio in/out on the Auxiliary unit is useful to me. Most of my audio kit at home is balanced audio.

I'm spoilt really as I also own a Lindos audio analyser.

However sometimes the analogue 'feel' of the RTS-2 can be more user-friendly, plus as the Lindos has an up-to-date calibration, I can use that to check the RTS-2.
Regarding the meter ballistics on the RTS-2, yes it be very violent, the same happens every tine the unit is powered off, it actually audible as the needle hits the end of travel. I will have to do something about it, - I don't want two more wrecked meters!
