Hi Matthew,

I would highly recommend upgrading your 218 feeding the DSP7200SE. The cost is relatively low and the gain is significant. I have a very similar system and the gain of upgrading the PSU to a farad super3 for the 218 was one of the best upgrades I have ever done. Every time I listen now I am impressed of the sound quality. In your system 1 it is maybe to only place where you can upgrade effectively. So I would start with your system 1 and leave system 2 as is.

Regards
