Hello Gregory,
        Yes the Yamaha Prologic Processor/Preamp you inquired about is very 
popular here in the US. Yamaha has earned an excellent reputation in the 
consumer electronics field, through solid design and build. I have heard 
numerous Yamaha units on display are the different shops and they sounded 
very good. The $400 cited (with conversion) seemed very reasonable. I 
expected the price to be considerably higher, for some reason.
        The Chase ProLogic Processor (Passive) I told you about is being 
discontinued by the manufacturer and is being cleared out(drastically reduced 
price) at $49 (US) per unit. I do not know if a new model is coming out or 
not. I am going to be upgrading mine very soon, so the price drop almost 
makes mine not worth trying to sell. Tell you what. When I upgrade, I'll send 
you this Chase unit with the manual and you can see if it will work with your 
system. Since there is no power involved you won't have to make any voltage 
adjustments, etc., and set up should be easy.
        My mailing address (Postal) is:
                   John Allen
                 626 South Terrapin Street
                 Mesa, Arizona, USA 85208-2071
        Send me your Postal address and I will forward the unit to you in a 
couple weeks.
        Cheers, John
