| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? jafant If a "REL" is another sub, what REL can I get for $800 that competes well with the DD-15 (in big room setup and/or normal room setup)? | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? dweller I have the plate amp out. Fuses good. Power on other side. Some discoloration on input power module (assumed culprit). No loose wires, speaker connected and works. Since fuses are good and no pop or any other noise when turning on, assume ... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? jafant "If you are using this Sub(DD 15) in a H/T set-up, yes repair it. Otherwise move on to a REL for a Stereo system set-up." What is a REL? I am currently using my 18" DAyton UM18-22 in sealed box with Lt1300 external plate amp in super ... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? asvjerry repair of original is probably cheaper than replacement plate amp of similar power. Running as passive is super easy. I have plate amp out and found discolored area on incoming power board, likely culprit. I am running my Dayton UM1... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? asvjerry see 2nd option above, but no feedback control (and no auto on/off, and no crossover control beyond what receiver allows). Another plate with sufficient power: probably better to repair the existing for about $400 (shipping, taxes inc... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? oddiofyl I have quote from EBC; they would be the one I sent the amp to for repair if going that route. Just not sure how good the DD-15 compared to others/modern in used condition and value range. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? mofojo Yup: Option 1: Repair (invest $500), total value $800-$900 Option 2: that is my 2nd option. Actually have two Class D on hand. Connect directly to sub out of receiver. But then do NOT have the Velodyne 'feedback control', and not sure ... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? jasonbourne71 what to get 'more recent' that is better for under $800 (repaired value of DD-15)? | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? erik_squires: only ship the very light (Class D) plate amp, 5 lb or so. musicaddict "take over the DD-15" based on quality INCLUDING price? Even the 12" SB-2000 (used they start around $750 or same 'value' as I assign to my repaird DD-15). oth... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? I read a few posts claiming BENEFITS of passive crossovers (vs active), but none mentions issues like phase shift from those passive components. And can't those mentioned 'beneftis' of passive crossovers not 'simulated' or realized in active cro... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Never heard of horizontal and vertical bi-amping. My assumption for passive bi amping with speakers built for it always was that by removing the 'bridge', I get a low pass for the woofer and a seperate high pass for the mid/high. The use 2 amps ... | |
| Hidizs AP 80 Pro - Alternative to Laptop with long USB cable and Schiit DAC? Thank you for the tips. I will start with connecting the Onkyo to the network (hardwire or wireless, not sure yet). See how it 'feels' (ease of use) and sound. Wiim is the next option; I like hte (likely userfriendly) control via Android app. ... | |
| Hidizs AP 80 Pro - Alternative to Laptop with long USB cable and Schiit DAC? What is the expected benefit regarding audio quality: Laptop/25ftUSB/Modi3 vs Laptop/network/Wiim Pro ? Is the the Wiim Pro "streamer" and its DAC better than long USB C and Modi? Alternatively: Laptop/Onkyo (use Onkyo DAC), but not sure how... | |
