Krell hts 2 - very dissapointing

I owned the krell hts 1 which I loved, I needed a analog by pass for my sony e9000 sacd player, so I sold the hts 1 and went to buy a hts 2, what I found was a hts 2 that was very hot just in the standby mode, a unbeleivable cheap power cord, and only a balanced conection for the analog bypass connection, no rca, which left me out of luck for my sony, needless to say I did not buy it, I am a former krell owner not a krell basher
