I listened to $$$ Wavac amps with 833 tube driving Kharma speakers and I found it sounds like the old tube radio in my garden hut at 40°C. Why not more semi-active speakers with high-sensitivity mid/treble and transistor-powered bass? ...

Wavac Audio Lab announced a new amplifier: MD-805MK-II.

The amp uses the same idea that I pitched with my “Stands for Super Melquiades” idea – 2 floors with small footprint. The way how ...

For whatever reasons the trip to that WAVAC room and listing that WAVAC 833 made me think a lot about a needs of music understanding for audio professional. This is an old subject but after me getting my WAVAC 833 experience I got a deferent sweeping...

My prize to the most interesting and educational room at the show goes to a room with WAVAC 833 power SETs. Visiting this room made me to think a lot and made me to draw a lot of very valuable to me conclusions.
I heard a lot about those amps. Recen...

Last month, for fun, I decided to subscribe the Stereophile magazine. Yesterday I got a July issue…I never thought that I might be a person who would have a reaction to the Stereophile's ordinary idiocy, the reaction that would force me to writ...

Merlin,
as the person who read my site you might know that one of the few dominating idea of my site and my personal audio interest is the recognition of the following rule as an absolutely desirable aim:

In his RMAF the Federated Mike post some comments about his use of ML3:

Even though his comments from my point of view have “issuers” but Mike’s comments sti...

Hello Romy,for large SETs price seems to go up exponentially with the power handling (I am sure you know better than me why), so these amps are under strong pressure of having to justify their existence, other than small SETs or pentode push-pull amp...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I told before that if PP were “smart” about stabilizing own future, or if for instance it was my company, then I would released PP’s own power amplifier with regeneration build in and the regenerator optimized for the need...

Romy Hi, I only represent Cessaro in the UK now because I honestly believe in them, I don't represent any other makes or manufacturers, Ralph introduced me to Allnic ( he had tracked down the designer Mr Park )we compared the a...

One of the greatest and the most important things for me in power amplifiers is their ability to differentiate tones. When you listen live music you practically never hear two identical tones. Even two identical pitches presented after the diff...

I don't have an OTL - I just don't have any transformers in the audible band that saturate, distort and roll off frequency extremes.
I have heard plenty of traditional SET's from Lamm to Wavac, AN, Kondo and many others. I know I could not live wi...

Still, I would like in this thread to stay with subject of advantage/disadvantage of DSET approach vs. better/expensive SET: "A DSET is better then an expensive SET" instead of turn it into thread about David Berning. Bernings certainly might be...

Greg, do you have any experience with the Eminence drivers?When the Audax PR380M2 I use (8 Ohm) became unavailable, Dick Osher specified the 15" Eminence driver as a drop-in substitute for the BZ series.I happen to use a single 15 " Au...

It was posted by 6Moons and pop up at some other sites: “April 2011 - Audiopax Maggiore 100 - Eduardo de Lima reports the pending launch of a new series of amplifiers. " The Maggiore 100 makes 100 watts with KT88 and 130 watts with KT120 in single-en...

What I find interesting though, Romy, is that many of the SET measurements show gross distortion even when putting out very low power, which suggests that they are saturated from the high static DC current running through them as they must for a Clas...

Romy,
I believe that congratulations are in order for the
great threads on Audiogon sewer; the Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes and Wavac 805 vs Lamm ML2.1.
I for one appreciate your input and sense of humor. YOU ROCK!
Take care, Tommy...

Well, here and there at my site I’m calling for rationalism in audio and suddenly I go enthusiastic regardless a perspectives of $200K Cessaro’s Gammas availability. Sounds hypocritical, doesn’t it? Well, not really.
I’m under no presumption that go...

Here is another, simplified assault after some rethink and PSUD simulations.Rectifier: 3x1.2kV SiC per phase should do the job, actually 2 would do, but I'd preferto be safe. Bridge I don't want, as there would be 6 not 3 diodes switching1750V. 1.2kV...

[quote user="Gregm"]Actually, that could be a viable commercial product: a "stereo am"p allowing for four channels. One hi side, one low side, per channel.Any moron purchasing this could be stratosphrically happy flabbergasting his pals by "passively...

The reader who read my comments above about Lamm’s new ML3 amplifiers might have wrong impression where I’m coming from. I have a general tendency to be skeptical (because the experiences) when I exposed to audio but in case of ML3 there is much deep...

Mike at AudioFederation.com posted in his blog something that I feel should be expended upon.

Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3
What is important is to undusted that my view less targets the Lamm ML3 but rather it targets the ML3 as a representative of entire class of amplifiers. When I to...

When we have these discussions we should be aware on which side who is:
On one side we have the manufacturer, who has to live from his product. That is very important for our thinking and our conclusions.
At the same side we...
