Hi Jorge.Firstly, be very careful if you're thinking about feeding a PP with a balanced AC input. It may be different with the North American PP units, but my UK unit did not like being fed by a balanced AC input. My balanced transformers already ten...

This subject does not bother me too aggressively as I recognize absolutely no sonic demands or listening temptations to change anything in my playback. However, there is a theoretical and conceptual curiosity on my part and I would like to learn what...

[quote user="Paul S"]I think it is fair to say that no big speakers are going to "work" up to their potential without some serious effort expended in setting them up. IMO, this is no small matter, and Wilson obviously agrees,&nbs...

Yep, you re right, the Yamamoto A-06S is SET, I did not read it carefully and I was under presumption that A-06S is PP monoblock. Good for Yamamoto! The only amps I heard with AD1 were PP. Somewhere in the very end 90s I shortly was exposed to i...

There is wonderful box set of all Bruckner symphonies that has very easy listening and offers a very good snapshot what Bruckner is all about. It is Wurttemberg Philharmonic Reutlingen under direction of Roberto Paternostro. The box has 11 CD, all-li...

I think the key to understanding this case is that it is beginning to look like the tubes that came with the amp all were over the hill, electrically. Since I have no way to test them other than by ear, that is what I have done. So f...

Hi there every one.A brief about system. Marantz transport---Acustic Arts DAC II-----Krell HRC preamp-----Krell FPB 600 class A amp---B&W 802.Previously i had a pair of carry 805 SET amps which drived Klipsch KLF 30 any how i was getting a good ...

[quote user="N-set"]Somewhere earlier last year I searched for some tubes in ex-USSR and YO186 did pop up, esp. in Ucraine IIRC, with not unbearable price ~$100/tube, although in unknown condition (I did not buy any).[/quote]Yes, I have seen the YO18...

Amir. for me. regardless of what I've started out to do in audio, I have been forced to compromise along the way. I am sharing my speaker/amp compromises in this thread. My "second system" is a radio (or computer) and headphones (or "desk speakers")....

[quote user="floobydust"] Some very good points here... if I downloaded the correct schematic from your site for the 6-channel Melq amp (also has the term DSET in the title) then you have created a 6-channel SET amp with built-in crossover points. Yo...

Auro can be set up for any number of extra speakers, from 2 to 14. One only has to set up for what he has available for ambiance speakers, from just two side or rear floor, to center, left and right side and rear, subs, to left right and center heigh...

[quote user="N-set"]I didn't make it to the 2nd video before and it's indeed interesting.Esp. how he describes the result of his trick: "addition of HF transforming into more air and resolution in the MF instead of more glow at the top"(around 2:30 a...

... to pass data unchanged.I've been ripping my CDs (using EAC and a Plextor CD-ROM drive) for about 4 years now. I use Foobar with ASIO (and now with WASAPI also) as the software player, loaded onto a Sony laptop. The soundcard is an RME FF800.Now t...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] That's because "off the shelf" amps can be easily resold for little or no loss of money if they are not to the buyer's liking. The Melquiades, on the other hand, leaves the builder with $3,000 worth of parts not easily reso...

You are not as cryptic/abusive as you believe you are. I personally view your comments in context of your other commons at this site and understand that it is your style: do not express yourself but mysteriously bark from the side road. From this per...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The result [in the 6-channel Milq] is definably better but the reason-consequences patterns are not so easily interpretable, and are absolutely not interpretable when the filters are applied.[/quote] And the explorations th...

[quote user="N-set"] There is a certain analogy between THD number and Wow&Flutter number: bare THD tells you very little, if anything at all, about the amp, one has to dig into that number deeper and see a detailed spectrum behind it. [/quote]Ac...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I found the DG Privilege (70's reissue) gatefold double LP of the 1961 Mravinsky 4-5 & 6 yesterday. How many LP's were in the box set you mentioned? Presumably these symphonies were also available individually?
Anyway,...

[quote user="Paul S"] Not to "sell" Milquiades, but how (other than multi-channel and bandwidth limiting) would an SET not crap out full range? Even the "big" ones just give out at too soon, and they can't maintain balance under any sort of pre...

I did not play my playback since Sunday and turned it last night after 4 days not being off. It was very pity sound. Even I felt that it was getting better after 2 hours I shut down the system as I has other things to do. In the past I have mention...

I got an email from a site visitor informing me that there us a set of cheap ALE drivers at London Craigslist: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/eld/4435844980.html(copy locally to have it available after the Craigslist posting will be gone) "ALE Acoust...

It is a very strange feeling, but I really feel how this entire idea should sound. I mean the 500W SET of the REAL SET driving a 12-14 cubic feet of sealed enclosure loaded with North Leviathan Driver.
In past when I played with SETs driving Aura 1...

Playing recently with setting up the new 6-ch Milq I again got an interesting feeling about my Fundamentals Channel. The in Injection Channel partially overrides some benefit of the Fundamentals Channel and I have a partial feeling that it would be p...

Here's how I'd make a hard rear cover/rear chamber.I describe the process in detail, as it is a good investment of my time; I expect to have a similar condition and requirement for my own mid-bass horns (intended for use with AK-151s).This approach c...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Rakesh,I think you’ve missed the accent of my battery post. We do not argue abstract topologies but we argue the validity of topology in respect to sonic results. I hope we all agree that we do not exactly know WHY affect...

Considering all "cautions" mentioned by Paul and rawuk regarding SET capriciousness to crossover and speakers I am confident that I will NOT have any problems related to the above cautions of crossovers or speaker loads.
