If you read the post:

then you know that I am happily employ an interesting 65dB-gain, 7788-7721 two stages phonocorrector designed and build with air capacitors. A few days ago when I eventu...

I have to admit that although the Macondo “Water Drop Tweeter” sounds very good but I do not have that “shocking sound” that I got from the “Water Drop” during my initial introduction to it. I kind of always felt it and I thought that I get use t...

Mumford,
Let clear first with terminology. You post said about “Incorporating active crossovers into DSET” and I think it is not what you are interested; at least it is not what I am practicing. An active crossover implies a use a dedicated active s...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Still, I feel that methodologically it is not right
way to build a playback. [/quote]No disagreement from me on this point. This is all just a thought bubble for now. Even if I wanted to press go on this project based ...

Hi
Good news if the analogue stages of the DCX2496 is so bad.
So the improvement of a modified unit should be worth the ekstra work,
and remove some of the x-overs negative influence on the sound.
Which is always good to know beforehand.

[quote user="Paul S"] Is it correct to say that since all the tubes will see different loads, it may be that they will behave/react/sound differently on the nether end of the same source, or, as you have said, there remains the possibility of variabl...

[quote user="Paul S"] I have been surprised that you have not already pursued the Zarathustra for your multi-driver, sealed LF. From your early descriptions of both, this seemed like a natural pairing and the most likely way to go, to keep the ...

Yes, it is a bit ridicules to have 4 boxes – a clearly money-raising project. Probably Lamm need to make it 2 chassis init with box #5 is to store manuals and box #6 to store the tube replacements. Talking about tube – one gain state with 4 paral...

I always advocate that a civilized audio-practicing person must have one playback. I very much did not like the Morons who have multiple duplicating amplifier, speakers and multiple listening rooms. For sure they all produce slightly different fl...

[quote user="Paul S"] Romy, on Fundamentals channel did you leave the 20uF cap at speaker level or did you re-configure that band pass at line level? [/quote]
Nope, it is hoe it depicted the 20uF cap at speaker level. I see no problems with ...

[quote user="ml8"] If you think gas regulators make sound of 6E5P so nice, didn't you try putting gas regulator tube in the grid of the 6C33C, and why? [/quote]

Looking again at the NAT Audio Magna amp, the amps around the 833A, GU81, 50TH, 1000TH, GM100 and many other SETs that try to use powers transmuting tubes I feel that the entire endeavor of powerful SETs shoot itself in a leg.
