Among many bad habits of mine I have developed one more – I do not shut down my power amps. The 12 channels of the Super Milq are running sometimes weeks non-stopping, thankfully weather still allow to do it. I presume it is environmentally unconscio...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In here is not the value are important but the concept the you block DC not with capacitor but with an “active” resistor that backed up with positive voltage. BTW, eventually if you wish to go “kinky Milq” and have a v...

[quote user="from email"] …. I have the valves etc. for the Melquiades but have not built it yet. I have begun thinking about the preamplification stage. Right now it is just purely passive. Is this not the optimal input for the Melquiades? [/quote] ...

A local guy asked me that since my low-powe, full-range Milq is sitting in my storage and I do not use it then he would like to try it: he has 1110dB sensitive speakers and SET and PP amps. I figure out that if I give the Milqs to him now then I wil...

I you have
an active speaker and want like to use Melquiades then you need a DSET
configuration, Find out where and how your Gryphon rolls off MF and
introduce the same filter from your DSET in the amp. Use much lower
value of coupling ca...

[quote user="decoud"]Romy, apologies for being unclear: the amp is not yet built: this is just a spare chassis I am offering for others who may wish to build it too. Inputs and outputs have not yet been added to the chassis. I therefore cannot co...

(sorry, this is supposed to be posted in the questions and answers colume but I must be so stupid to have it posted here and now I don't know how to move it there.)Hi Romy,How are you! This is Welborne, from far across the ocean, Hong Kong. I have k...

Vincin, thank you for appreciation of my work. A few comments and thoughts about the
direction you went.
I do think that to compare 300B with your version of Milq is
not proper way to demonstrate or to learn anything about sound, particularly
...

Hi Romy, but I am simply curious that your Designed-&-Made-Yourself
have always had the flavour of the names and places from A Hundred
Years of Solitude ... Macondo the village, Melquiades the gypsy ... so
why the departue now to Zarathustra? ...

Ok, so it would look cool, but I'm not sure inducing an HF signal into your caps and having anything ferrous near the coil is a good idea. You'll get eddy currents even if there are non-ferrous conductors around.How this affects this end result is an...

This idea keeps to fascinate me.

As I promised, I am informing about the fate of the Baby Melquiades project. The Baby Melquiades was armed for few days with new 60H transformer. The result was not positive. It sounded OK but it was not even close to the Melquiades sound. I wa...

[quote user="AnonymousUser"]hi-i have downloaded the circuit diagram for your amp but wondered if you have any photos of the "guts" so i can see how you laid yours out ? [/quote]
I do not have a full rage Milq anymore. I have only the 3-chanals Supe...

This is kind if funny as I never thought that I will go this way. I kind of have a need for an amplifier. For a normal full range amplifiers that would be able to drive conventional speakers. I really can’t use the Super Melquiades as it has the live...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I bought the ML2s to use as a development/reference tool while constructing this horn system. The idea being that I would first use them to dial in the horns, and later as a reference, to which I would compare and evolve ...

The Super Melquiades Amplifier is essentially the 3 parallel running Melquiades amplifiers optimized for driving my Macondo Acoustic System, with line-level or inner-stage filters. This SET uses a full 6C33C at LF output and ½ of 6C33C for HF and MF ...

The headphone amplifiers are mystery for me. Form one perspective it should be simple but from another perspective I never heard any interestingly performing headphones amplifiers. Well, I have to take it back probably as wherever I even heard differ...

I keep thinking about power and how much extra power and gain I would need in a new room, Sure, it is not difficult to raise a white flag and do for SS amplification but I so would like to stay with SET amplification for my bass channels! I am lo...

I would like to share my observations about public perception of Melquiades - The Realty Reconstructions Amplifier.
Melquiades, or as I affectedly-abridgedly call it “the Melq” was released to pubic exactly a year ago:

[quote user="Antonio J."] This is to me the most difficult problem to solve. For example, you may decide that your problem is a lack of spaciousness, which may be due to a lack of correct delay, wrong bass response, poor detail retrieval or whatever....

Well, it is always difficult to me to deal with audio people because any expressing any abstract notion in front of them those enslaved people perceived as a preamble to some kind of “deliverable good” and the sick audiophile imagination has already ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]As a way of forcing myself to see the thing as a whole, I will start by converting this schematic to a 3D CAD model, illustrating each component and its relation to the others (with more distance between the parts than in ...
