A Big Shout out to TAP Electronics
Hello chayro Yes its working great. The only draw back is they reset all setting to original factory settings. You have to go back in to the menu and hope you remember what setting you liked. (sample rate , digital filters etc.) Other than that T...

Cables make a difference some more than others and all have a break in period  
High Fidelity Cables?

Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
Have you contacted Velodyne? They may send you a newer amp to swap out. Or purchase a rebuilt amp from them. I had a HGS 18 inch sub and i took it to the factory direct (about 2 hours from where i live) they fixed it and upgraded it very cheaply (...

tranchautuan Rick has always treated me good. I am glad you got to deal with him one on one. What cable did you get?  
Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not.
I would test it your self giving each trial a week before deciding  
I need advice on Dissimilar runs using XLR
I was alway told to keep them equal, and do not coil the longer run. If you ever upgrade selling one long cable and one short (match set)  would be a much tougher sell

Rick has always done well by me. His products are great and i will continue to do business with him when needed.
