dI, thanks for your post. It is an interesting post, might I
comment upon it? I do not share your experience with Melquides amplifier even those
I know exactly what your were taking about when you wrote about changing own expectations
by observing the amp performance. I went over exactly the same things during my
few years with original Lamm ML2.0, which I consider is way more powerful educational
tool then Milq. The objective of Melquides was to much sonic and exoteric ML2’s
performance. To a degree Milq did and in some extend went way beyond ML2 as
Lamm amp is very rigid in his performance expressionism and has very strict
presentational boundaries.
Can a properly configured Milq will cause you to forget
about amps for the foreseeable future? I would probably say no. If you have sophisticated
tonal demands then probably the word of vintage DHT might deliver to you more results
mostly, one-sided results however. It
never was a problem to me as after making the Milq I immediately went to DSET
with Milq – a very different world all together. There is another whole array
of characteristics where I feel Milq would lose to a specially tailored amp. All together however, I think Milq is a very reasonable
and well balanced amp.
To forget about amps is not truly sonic state but rather the
state of wondering of audiophile mind… It is a complicated subject and I do not
want to talk about it now. What is interesting in your post is a derivative question:
when an audiophile mind and his listening preferences are evolved and sound
made by Milq become no enough. I feel that in DSET configuration, the vintage
drivers and DHT at MF it might be satisfactory for very a long time.
