Eventually, I had a chance to spend last night with up and running new Milq (no tweeters was involved at this point). As I said before, the major fight was around the MF channel and I feel I did found a good configuration where the MF channel takes advantage of the single-stage amp but do not exhibit the improper volume/harmonic behavior. It is very interesting to see how S2 responses to single-stage amp. I have many observations and I will make them later, when the information will age in my mind…

Meanwhile I decided last nigh to pick a mono recording and just listen some real music, since the Milq/Macondo are already properly balanced.  I took the La Scala’s 1955 performance of Giordano’s “Andrea Chenier” with shining Maria Callas and Mario del Monaco. It played well, though I question if it makes sense to use that caliber music for audio evaluations. 

It was very fascinating to see the MF channel’s reaction to Sound. It has more of that “snow taste” and in a way sounds slightly less “Vitavox-like”. I am not quite sure at this point if it was positive quality and I need to play with settings around the MF channel more in order to get maximum-interesting sound out of the MF channel. What is very positive moment in all of it is that I might work explicitly with MF channel, without affecting anything else. If nothing else and only because of this moment then the entire idea of the 6 channels Super Milq is well-justified. Thankfully, there is a lot of else…
