setup
RCAs from the Denon pre out section to the Arcam inputs. There's an option on the Denon to turn off it's onboard amps.  
Matching Dali Epicon with these amps?
I have the Opticon 8. They're quite good. Also thinking about giving them a little more power.  
Super fun and silly video
I'm 57 and I think Barbara Eden and Elizabeth Montgomery blow the doors off any of today's offerings.

Be a little difficult to give an honest review when the friendly customer who was nice enough to drag his speakers in to be tested is sitting right there watching you! He did his best though. I liked the ’if you like that sort of thing" with a sli... 
A perfect song? What are your choices?

Dumbest cable question
@noske I would hope you are being funny but these days you never know. Is this from the same science class that says men can menstruate and have babies?  
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig
Yes. I am enjoying the music. Finally. I was about to give up or chase the dragon of upgraditus. I determined though to be sure I got the best out of what I had before any more moolah spent. By proper speaker positioning and finally getting my sub...

Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel
I am going to expound a bit on my original statement of a year's time to integrate. I had never had subwoofers in any iteration. Not in a vehicle even. I had followed RELs instructions in the manual for setting these up. Using the hi level speakon... 
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
@nonoise you mean like lies about the origins of a certain virus or the efficacy of alternative treatment options than the ones prescribed by the government?  
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
Now maybe some will consider the dangers of shutting down speech, even that which you don't like. It always comes down to who decides what '"truth" is.  
Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done
Overpaid and undersold gear.  
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
When I first discovered old Pink Floyd, you know, before DSOM and The Wall I thought it was self-gratuitous overindulgence and bizarre. Today I can't get enough of it. With the discovery of streaming, I have been opened up to a lot of things I nev...
