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 was looking for very specific Sound but instated I got a very high quality H-Fi. I really do not know what is the problem, perhaps the high plate impedance should not drive active load, or perhaps the headphones have own attitude that make the Melquiades approach is not applicable. Anyhow, the Baby Melquiades was disappointment….

I desisted to change the Baby Melquiades tube, keeping the basic typology the very same and replaceing the 6E5P with 6C19P, driving it at 140V. I got eventually almost correct bass (thanks to the low R) but still it is all to far from the sound that I was searching. Yes, it is probably Sound more interesting then to drive headphones from an output jack of a commercial stereo but it is still not where it should be.  Well, at least my “big” system sound way more sophisticated then the headphones… if it says anything….

I will be continuing for a very littlie my time to make headphones Melquiades it to sound OK but there was another revelation that I made: I juts hate my headphones. My favorite headphones are not good enough to compete with Macondo (?) and my “new reference” headphones are juts plain garbage. I should review my entire way to deal with my headphone system. So, far what is going on with my headphone is unacceptable.
