Dear Jim: Your assumption was correct.  Having the BD-19 Bryston preamp delivered this weekend by dealer. I too feel that he is excellent. Not happy with Martin Logan 11A. Thanks for your interest.

I received an email message from James Dalto who asked if I live near Long Island. I live on Long Island. I requested information with regard to the Totem Element Metal V2.  Thank you for the message but I was not allowed to respond via a reply me... 
Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204
Can't speak about the U2, only the U2 mini, or your 40% rule. It really depends how resolving your system is. If your system is highly resolving then I believe you will hear a difference with a linear power supply. The linear power supply reduced ... 
Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204
The LHY power supply is hooked up to the Lumin U2 mini and I would say that I hear a 20% difference. The noise floor was reduced which in turn allowed the mini to sound better than with the original equipment. The change over was not simple so my ...

Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000
My apologies for my request. I originally said in my post that I wanted to spend $1000.00 in total. The number was $2000.00 for 2 subs.  I am willing to spend $1000.00 per subwoofer and as of now I am interested in the SVS SB-4000, which is on sal... 
Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000
My room size is 12 x 18. I was considering SVS SB 4000 which is on sale for $1299.00 each. I would buy 2, get a $200.00 discount for the second. I am very close to my $2000.00 budget.    Thank you.
