Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

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 paint in their minds the pictures of a large brown truck, delivering a big and fully insured  package. When I couples days ago mentioned that I consider the Cessaro Horn Acoustics Gamma system is quite fruitful direction to go in sound reproduction then the readers minds inimitably interpreted it as a sign that Cessaro Horn are “better” then other speaker and  should be immediately considered as “strong buy”. What a Moronic and bogus way looking at the things! No wonder that in many instances I feel incredibly bored talking with audiophiles! Please, people, spare me from this primitive behavioral pattern on my site!!!

Basically, Romy, I think you have got a "niche product" on your hands.

The very same with the Melquiades. What does it mean "niche product"? Let leave aside all bogus motions of “prodactism”. An amplifier should amplify nothing else. All amplifiers amplify and all of them do “something else” but it is not the point. The point is that Melquiades is not a released DIY product but MY DESIRE TO SHARE A VISION how a 22-24dB gain amplifier, loaded into >100dB sensitive acoustic system should/might amplify. When I decided to release Melquiades to pubic I did not feel myself as I am some kind of person who found new good settings for a circuit and made a new amplifier-kit available to public. if you want THAT then there are quite many companies out there who sell kits allowing you to set the components in acceptable operational points. Melquiades is nothing like this. The Melq’s objective is to let people to learn what Sound the amp does and then, experiencing the effect of Melq’s Sound on prolonged period of time be able to experience some things about witch the people do not know yet. It might sound too pretense for someone but where did you see me care what the people who have no clue what I’m talking about think about my views?

Anyhow, I have no idea how to interpret somebody’s view that Melquiades is "niche product", besides probably suggesting to those people to read less audio magazines and “pick” wisdom at audiogon.com. I find that the concept of “niche” is completely not suitable for the objectives I have with Milq. Perhaps you, Paul, after spending  a prolonged period of time with your vintage Lamm ML2, and after observing your listing habits changing, you might eventually understand that labeling  Melquiades as “niche product” was as bogus as labeling introduction of penicillin as niche medication…
