To simplify everything: the Melquiades was at attempt to make two stages, capacitor coupled, no feedback SET, having the cathodes sitting on ground and using the unique 6E5P as a driver. My selection of output tube was because at that time I meant to use it with Lamm ML2 but now only. The 6C33C has enough power to drive my bass and very good sound, at least in context of ML2 (I did not like any other amps that I heard with 6C33C)

Believe it or not, this very short, direct, explanation helps put everything else I have read about the Melq evolution in perspective. Thanks.
However, my objectives were much further then just proving a concept...Anyhow, after all events, mistakes, experiments, false concussions, moves to the wring directions and so on the Melquiades (as it reviled) is a tip of the iceberg of quite complicated though process about audio generally and amplification in particularly.

My goals, system, budget, and musical preferences are, obviously, not the same as yours, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot to learned from your experiences.
Quite few people are turned off by obnoxious, demanding, overly confident and assertive tone of my release notes…. and I feel it great. The release notes are a low order filter that reduces the amplitude of Morons who might consider building the Milq.

It's not that bad once I learned to filter the tone/attitude from the information.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time and effort to pass on your experiences.
