Not sure WHY it sound SO MUCH better, likely because the receiver does not have to... | |

| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? whart Those Class D plate amps with 'electronic' (can't think of the term) power supplies (without the huge/heavy transformers and coolers) are very light and cheap to ship. My LT1300 plate amp is 40 lbs, this one is maybe 5 lbs. | |
