Reviving this thread to share a recent addition to my desktop setup/a possible option anyone still wanting a VU meter box might consider...
This is another Little Bear/Douk model (the VU2). This one has considerably bigger meters than the other, smaller Little Bear model mentioned here. It also functions as an RCA splitter (so it's not strictly eye candy).
I haven't done any serious measurement/testing with this one like ajawamnet did with the other Little Bear unit, but in Db mode and using a sine wave from Audacity through a DAC (probably not the best, but just as a quick rough test) it doesn't have the panning issues that the unit they tested did (the needles move accordingly as panning is adjusted while the tone is playing). Needle movement is nice and smooth too. I really like this one so far .
