I am surprised that Ebay sided with you and Ppal did not, since both are practically joined at the hip.I would contact Ebay again and see if they can intervene. I hav... | |

| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? @mr_g I, too, was at the Hotel Pennsylvania. And, I too, remember the Dahlquists. ( and, the Shahinian Obelisk's).They were outstanding.B | |
| How to Hook Up Vandersteen 2W Subwoofer @OP. You are going to need a step down transformer to bring the 220 volt current to the subs 110 configuration.The other equipment doesn't need to be included. I recall other thread on this issue, so you may want to do a search on Audiogon. If ... | |

| What modern TV is compatible with analog amplifier? That's weird. What didn't work?I want to do the same and thought you just need a DAC to convert the signal to analog for the preamp.B | |
| Vandie .7 vs Maggie .7 An Ayre Codex is probably more similar to the Schiit Gungnir or Yggy, than the Bifrost.Either of the three would be a significant upgrade.Now I really kick myself for not getting that pair of VLR's last year.Bob | |
