Is the S-XPS Brundy a standard ship with the XPS2? I recently upgraded from an XPS1 to XPS2 & my dealer gave me the choice of keeping my existing Brundy or taking the new one. Not sure whether there was any difference I phoned NAIM UK & they informed me that the leads were identical so I may as well keep my current one as it was burnt in. Have I been misinformed?
