Velodyne's Dim View

I find it quite frustrating as I have purchased two of velodynes DD-15s in the last 2yrs.
The blue logo light on the front of the sub goes dim after time.It doesn't effect the sound, but it was a nice display
to look at at night.
I even talk to one of Velodynes supposed techs and all I got was,that's just the way it is.I mean come on,3000.00 for a sub
and the light goes so dim you can't hardly see it.
I have components on 24/7 for years and the displays hold their brightness.Makes me wonder how much real quality is in there when Velodyne can't pay attention to such a basic thing as a display light.Other's have noticed this also.
Perhaps a Thiel SS-2 or Fathom-113 upgrade,I guess I'm a tad
ticked off,THAT's JUST THE WAY IT IS,gimme a break.

The convo's I've had with the guy in Az. have always been forthright and honestly inciteful. Pleasant too. It's 'who' you get these days over the phone via support that matters... in many instances lately, regardless the company. IMO. Call back.

I turn off my light quite often... it's distracting. Also, even if my DD had a digital read out instead of blinking on and off in semifore, I'd still be using my ears to adjust volume.... and the video out to integrate it better.

When i"m listening, I prefer to listen, and not watch.
