Brilliant post, Tim.
Regarding the stuff quoted above.
I always advice folks to stay at the usual calibration (-16 to -20 or wathever) and simply just record lower into digital.
Hovering around -20 to -10dBfs, is a great place to be, and gives you headroom for processing in the digital domain without the need for trimming the signals.
