I just woke up to a wealth of comments! Thank you all, now, to digest a few new concepts.
I also realize that I made a mistake, my amp is Mark Levinson 532H, not a 522H.
I will be drinking my morning coffee and rereading and digesting. A lot of interesting things to consider.
The amp I used before this was a Bryston 3B NRB, and there was a large jump in performance when I installed the Mark Levinson 532H. ( which I gather does not double down ).
