I pack up the new amp today and plug it in with my right Macondo channel. The electricity was not bad I was VERY surprised with the fact that the new amp sounded MUCH more advanced then I anticipated from a chance of MF channels power supplies. The lesson learned: never ever ever ever try to save money and efforts for MF channel. I will talk more about the Macondo-Melquiades New Sound but for now I would like to mention one monumental achievement that the Macondo-Melquiades tandem has accomplish.

I has NOT been talking about it for years  as this subject is absolutely unknown to audio people and frankly I never head heard from ANY playback  that encourage to think about it in context of playback. I am talking about an ability of playback to create mechanical sound. I am talking about Mechanical Sound reproduced by the acoustic system of playback it never happened...

Never say never and I have heard it before. When I was 10-11 years I played my grandma 78s. I still very distinctly remember that sound and I do remember that grandma’s 78’s did have the sights of mechanical sound but they had not fidelity of Sound.  A few years ago I experimented with intentionally wrong cartridge mounting that mimic the Mechanical Sound, again the fidelity was not there. Now, completely without my anticipation the Macondo-Melquiades throw a very surprising ability to attack the Mechanical Sound only it dose it at very serious level of fidelity. The sound is wonderful but all this none-musical events of recording got a new level of realism, kind of spooky realism.  Do you know that feeling what you drive a car with very high level audio installation and NPR play  some kind of ad which has siren or beeping in it and you for a second do not know it is your radio or it is somebody signal you from the traffic outside?  The very same with the new Macondo-Melquiades. The individual sounds get a new crazy level or realism, so real that I was confused at beginning. The slips of bows, the air coming from valves, the plucking of strings upon fingerboard, the sticking of the strings to the abrasiveness of the skin suddenly go not the stupid prominences (courtesy to the stupid OTL amps) but a very distinctive sense of realism – they just do not some like recorded. I was initially thinking that my S2 drivers was scratching gap but it was not.  The sound that the MF channel is as close to be mechanical-like as I ever experiences – very very welcoming sign.

Sure, music is not the artifacts of recording but do not worry the musical information itself is presented at the very same level of Mechanical Sound the level of Mechanical disambiguation and sensible reality. Interesting that the Mechanical Soundnes of music is very useful but the Mechanical Soundnes of the recording’s artifacts sound… a bit strange as now.  Each time a cello develops a body crack  or the player move the hard stopped finder across the bass strings then I really feel a temptation to walk to the speaker and  to realign the diaphragm…
