My system is also connected to a Bryston SP1.7 processor/Bryston 9B-SST via XLR and unity gain settings from the VK.30.
Synergy was achieved by carefully auditioning each components in my home. It is a costly and time consuming process. I want to thank audiogon for making it possible to buy and sell audio equipment in quest for "audio nirvana". If it does exist!
