Building the Melquiades: #3
Spent last might 3 more hours to pile up in one of the Melq the rest of the parts. It looks like now all detachable parts are there. Whatever parts have no assess anymore are wired and the main ground is in place. Pretty much not is left only to wire the parts.
Now the Melq has separate PS for the fan, two delay circuits, 15.000uF of second stage, 7.200uF for first stage, 9.000uF for negative bias (very critical) and 1.200uF for positive bias. All 3 separate power supplies (except fan of course) have choke inputs.
I am very like the louse as I find it quite practical. It might not look sexy but I find it superbly functional within the given space limitation....
I received some emails form the people who are contemplating Melquiades and asked about the cost of the amp. I think the cost is around $1.500 per monoblock but I intentionally made it expansive using some radicalism, I might be done under 1000 without a serious damage for performance, or even lower.
