Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
Kraftwerk and m-db, I replaced the 2 caps and all the SMDs on the board. They are quite numerous and small. And you have to pry the boards apart from the foam insulator. Which is glued. I used a steak knife. The sub worked but was much lower in vo... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
The DD-15 is still a great sub. I own two. I recently repaired one of mine myself. I ended up having to replace the amp which costs around $370.00 from Velodyne in Germany plus about $180.00 for shipping. I had replaced all of the caps on the main...

tube pre amp and Krell FPB 600
Are you having a problem? I would definitely turn the amp off before the preamp and wait for the preamp to warm up before turning the amp on. The 3 LEDs on the front of the amp will signify if there is a problem. Since your preamp is not balanced,...

"Frank Zappa didn’t study sheet music, but required his music to be scored. czarivey" Zappa hired a young Steve Vai to transcribe his music. He later hired Vai as his guitarist.  
Estate sale Fuselier speakers for $370 but I know nothing about them.
