But how can you make the Melquiades as a DHT amplifier? I do not see it.

To make Melquiades as DHT is very simple juts use DHT output tube. However, if DHT idea does make sense then I think the diver shell be DHT as well. So, the DHT initiative does not comply with Milq and in the core of Milq is IDHT, OK, the triode strapped IDH tetrode.

But otherwise you will be comparing the tonal characteristics of just different topologies and parts, not comparing DHT to IDHT.

Yes, it is the problem. This is why I do not intend to compare DHT to IDHT but rather to see if I will be able to get anything “extra” with off the self IDHT solutions.

If this is the objective, then I think you have done it before with other DHT amplifiers, yes? And I think we know your opinion of Gizmo and Sakuma-san.

I do not have any opinion about Gizmo, I never was impressed with him pushing OTL but otherwise I know very little what he did or say. I read a few his articles and I did not understood what he was trying to say. I do not like what Sakuma-san does.  About my objective, I am not sure as I do not look for any particularly new sound and I am comfortable with current result. I just would like to learn is any other tonal doe is available out there.

BTW, I have a local Bostonian guy have replied brought today a very interesting DHT amp.  He has a number of DHTs and this one he reports is the special one, quite expensive as well.  Although the electricity was not good today but we did some listening and the results were very quite interesting. I am still contemplating about them and will post what I think what I have more organized thoughts.
