The dd-1 is far too simple. for what I use my scope for it is now obsolete.

meade916 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Steve, Man...I have to say, I doubted this DD-1 awhile back over on an 'insider' forum thread. Well, I'm eating crow now. I first looked at this meter as-if it was the equivalent of setting gains at the amp's output w/ a simple 60hz 0dB tone. I originally said that the output of the amp would change based on the active load, and thus change the 'clipping point' vs a given volume level during music listening. And yes, it will...as I have shown in some of my youtube vids. Well...I miss-judged the piece of equipment. At the time that I first heard/read about it, I was so caught up in disproving the forum-non-sense of setting gains based on a single 0db tone (be it 60hz or 6khz) that I totally overlooked the premise of your DISTORTION DETECTOR. I unfairly ruled it as a basic clipping detector based on singular tones/wave-function samples. But, after seeing its true nature in action vs other equipment, my mindset has changed. I see now that your system/product is not based on testing a single or even multiple freq for simple 'clipping'. But rather it compares the total system signal to a base-line 'perfect' signal by which it is apparently calibrated. (please, correct me if I'm wrong...again) Apparently, I jumped to the wrong conclusions far to early in my hasty 'nay-saying' of this piece of equipment. I am still stuck on using my O-scope for testing, call me an OG...lol, but I'm contemplating on purchasing your DD-1 to help speed up my test and tune sessions here at the shop. I'm looking forward to further developments in the evolution of this product. -Canaan Canaan - sorry i missed your post!! so many posts to read, so little time. I miss a LOT! thank you so much for taking the time to come in here just to say that. Oh and welcome to the forum. Anyone who gets that kind of respect from Ray is automatically good in my book. thanks again.

DreDay256 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I pre-ordered one, so hopefully it's in the mail, but no worries, you guys worked hella hard and I can wait. One hypothetical question though....If I have a 5000 watt amp pushing a Sony Xplode, how do you keep the Xplode from....xploding? I dont trust any product that has "Xplode" as part of its name...

Tebo Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I wasnt happy with my dd1. AT FIRST! I was being a total idiot thinking it didnt work right and put noise into my system.
