I recorded my most recent 2A03 album on my PowerPak:

On a slightly related note, I'd be interested to know what the audible differences are between emulated expansion audio on Power Pak (using a resistor/potentiometer mod) and actual Famicom hardware. I'm aware there's differences in volume (due to expansion-specific hardware mixing), but is there anything significant beyond that?
Also, is there a document out there with reference dB levels for each chip? I seem to recall such a document existing but am having a hard time with Google.
This is why I went with using a potentiometer so I could adjust volumes on the fly. I have a few calibration nsfs that play 2a03 and expansion squares alternating at the same frequency and volume, and I just adjust the pot until they sound the same.
