Since almost 3 years ago I was introduced to Milq it went a long way. There was two full-rage Milq ever built by me – one was the initial - I do not have it anymore and the one that I made for myself last year. That last one was very tough staffed, fully choke-regulated amp with somehow limited 200mA OPT’s gap. The presses of building that amp is well illustrated within this thread.
Over the last 2-3 years the full-range Milq begin to loose it’s importance as it paved the way for a Super Milq DSET. The full-rage Milq was sitting in my room, sitting, sitting and sitting, driving the Injection Channels, driving some other thing and eventually, since the new 6-chennal Super Milq has a built-in full-range channel I decided to decommission the pair of my full-range Milq monoblocks. I dumped the Milqs to my car and drove it to my storage… So long, the Melquiades.
It was certainly not an “emotional” moments but I had “special feeling” as the Melquiades had became my past. I still feel that I was not completely “done” with it as I would like to hear the full-range Milq with 350mA transformer, driving the 6C33C at 55W. I’m not willing to do it myself, partially because I do not have good speakers with which I would be able to listen such a full-range amp and partially becose I have no need in that.
The last question that was cursing in my mind when I was driving the Milq to the graveyard was how much in the sound of my today 6-chennal Super Milq I recognize the sound of the original Melquiades. I would like to be able to tell you/myself that very well researched and investigated sound of the original Milq is essentially the same as the sound of the new Super Milq. However, it would not be a right observation. The 6-chennal Super Milq has different sound. The 3-chennal Super Milq has slightly different sound and the 6-chennal Super Milq has even more differences. The character of the sound is similar in a way but there are many other things that make both sounds not exactly comparable.
So, the Milq went to sleep with fishes. It is kind of sad and happy event… One door open another door close…The life is going on. Bye-bye the Melquiades. You were a good ride…
