Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
Podeschi,Your comment, "I was shocked at how it provides not just a low end foundation but the big impact is it opens up the mids/highs/soundstage and space" it seems is what is being noticed by other owners of this sub as well. It seems to breath... 
Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
IrvrobinsonThanks for the comments. I almost got the 18" but was told it was total overkill for my 26 X 21" vaulted room. Perhaps so. I keep the volume at 2 to 4 usually but that's with the crossover turned way up just so I can hear the sub bring ... 
Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
Nak8:What advice did you get from Velodyne regarding your set up? I wonder especially if setting a sub HIGHER will sound cleaner and more natural. It seems so with my room (which is not a concrete slab, but very thick wooden floors and steel "I" b... 
Review: Focal Micro Be vs. Dynaudio C1 mk1 Monitor
Does anyone know if the Esotar II tweeters in the new Confidence mkII line are any different in design than in the original Confidence line? Or are they just brought up in volume as Nvp is suggesting? These are such fine tweeters, perhaps the incr... 
Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
Nak8Glad to hear those Velos are syncing well and digging up low level detail and in stereo. Wish I could be there to hear that! Would you mind mentioning the dimensions of the room? 
Review: Focal Micro Be vs. Dynaudio C1 mk1 Monitor
Yea, I'd like to hear more about the differences between the C1 and the new C1 mkII as well. I have the Harbeth SHL5's and the C1's. The Harbeths are the best at disappearing, leaving only the music. If you close your eyes, you cannot find the spe... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Philjolet,Makes perfect sense. I find myself taking the lazy man's way and listening to Pandora radio, fed through a (soon to be gotten) Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 and on to my Candela tube preamp. I also will play an occasional CD on the Meridian. So, t... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
To all who have discovered Steve's products, thank you for posting. I just pulled the trigger for a pair of Reflection IC's and also a pair of Revelation speaker cables! That oughtta make some difference in my system. Where is the most critical pl... 
Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
Fplanner2010, If you now have one DD15 and one DD15 Plus series playing in the same room, why not go insane now and while you're at it, do an AB comparison for us.I hope you enjoy the way the DD Plus digs out the airiness, organics and detail as ... 
Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
I thought the same thing when I got my Super HL5's. They do so well at bringing forth the detail, from bottom to top end and with so much naturalness. I love the way the cabinets resonate, sending musical nuances out which end up surrouding the li... 
Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle?
Yea, two is better than one anytime. I've had my Velodyne DD15 Plus breaking in now for a month or so, sometimes not having it on. I've positioned it so it is sitting 12" off the floor, diagonal to the room, near a corner, about 3 feet away from t... 
I have the dreaded hum
I agree; that circuit is usually independent and thus is isolated as the problem. Don't let those reps jerk you around and good luck. 
Best IC's for Velodyne DD series
Goatwuss,Great advice. I'm ever experimenting as many of us are. Good exercise too, especially with subs. Right now I've got it elevated on a stool with layers of padding to help isolate it from the wooden floor. It seems to sound very natural thi... 
High-end amplifier clarification?
Personally, I've been fixating on the soundstage and the sonic image created. If the amp gives you a very natural, realistic sound with great placing of individual instruments in their appropriate places on the sonic "stage", such that you are foo...
