My subwoofer trials and tribulations.
I didn't really have any issues with integrating the REL subwoofer into my system. I basically followed the manual (connected to the hi-level Speakon cables), placed the subwoofer in a corner, and adjusted crossover and volume until I got the soun... 
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
I agree, perfect solution.  I'm not sure I would've done the same, but you're a better man Gunga Din!

@oldrooney - case closed?  Are you kidding me?  What is your relationship to Viking?  Please disclose.  
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
Somehow, I was having issues getting into Whats Best Forum, but magically I can again.  It seems the thread is starting there with Viking Acoustics weakly defending themselves.  So my question is, how does a thread get deleted in Audiogon?  Does V...

SPEC+ Analog Disc Sheet AP-UD1 TT mat anyone else have this?
I used it with my Technics SP10 MK2 table with excellent results as well.  I bought mine from pitchperfectaudio.com for $350 back in September 2020.   
Any Decemberists fans out there?

Gentlemen - thanks for your responses.  Although I am not prone to lightning surges where I live, there is a possibility of other types of surges (faults etc).  Once the warranty expires, the SA will likely still work, but there is no guarantee. ... 
Songs that sound like Dylan
