Opinions about Daniel Hertz
Mark Levinson is more of a marketer than a designer. Jonathan Curl was one of his engineers at the beginning of ML. The JC-2 preamp was Jonathan’s design. After JC left the name was changed to the ML-1. "According to John Curl, he and Mark Levins... 
Why aren't there more Blu Ray/DVD transports?
They are all pretty much transports now. No analog outs. Only HDMI.  
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
csmgolf, you are correct. I was wrong about the quick setup button. There is a second mic input on the front of the DD-15 and 18. So you don’t have to move the subs to connect it. Replacing the plate amp with another is not really an option cons...

You do need the remote and a video hookup. But there is a quick setup button on the back of the sub. Read the manual!

The DD series doesn't connect to a computer. The plus series does. Although there is a way to upgrade the firmware for the DD series with a computer but it takes a special cable from USB to serial

SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
Enjoy. The Velodyne may still be worth repairing to use as a second sub depending on model. I just repaired my DD-15 myself. It cost around 600.00.  
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
Veodyne subs can be repaired. Which model is it?  
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
Revel does make subs. Not that good in my opinion but they are expensive. REL makes a fairly decent sub. They don't go very low for a sub though. SVS makes a great sub for the money. Velodyne makes great subs but are expensive.

To remove the amp when stuck I tapped on the plate lightly with a rubber mallet. It loosened right up.

Have you ever used the video out on the Velodyne? The DD series uses the microphone to equalize the sub to your room. I believe the standard xover is set at 80. You can set the xover to whatever and for 5 different settings. You can also use the p...

I would just run Audessy normally then go into to manual setup and set the sub's xover higher than Velodyne's internal one. Adjust mains if possible to match the sub.

Usually, unless things have changed, Audessy doesn't do that much to equalize subwoofers. And I would also assume that Velodyne's EQ works more closely with it's internal amp. But I could be wrong because miniDSP is supposed to work great for subs.

It's a great product if you want a simple way to set up subs that don't have built in room correction. Minidsp does more but requires a computer. Once set up it doesn't anymore though.https://www.minidsp.com/

It's an outboard version the one built into the Velodyne DD series. You can use it with any sub though. Can be used as a replacement for the Velodyne built in EQ if needed.
