I am not a huge fun of S3 for MF use as the ceramic magnet is less interesting then alnico magnet for HF applications. For the low mid, or as I call it the Fundamental Channels the HF problem that ceramic has do not manifest themselves. My Fundamenta...

This thread has triggered some old stupid sentiments. Feel free to remove this post if irrelevant. I've been thinking how to rationalize my old design in the present context and make it less idiotic.First, know the enemy. I don't know the enemy. I as...

I was right before but now I really review my rightness for a new perspective. Yes, the compressions drivers are the subject of clean signal but it what I witness with the new 6-chenals DSET put what I said above in another extreme dimension. I do no...

Hi Romy,The builder regards VR1 more like an "offset to 0" adjuster than a bias control for the 6E5P since its working range is quite narrow. He asked me to know from you if along the 6E5P's lifespan it needs further adjustments at VR1 or if a single...

Another decision that I need to make about the new Super Milq. I have MF and Fundamental Channels around the Vitavox S2 drivers that will be driven directly from the single-stage amplifiers, with the crossovers and attenuators sitting at amplifier li...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you read the very important post: http://www.GoodSoundClub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=5255 then might understand that it lead to a painful research on the subject. I have ton of data now and many experiments done. If ...

Yes, well, in this case, it wasn't a new amplifier, it was his old amplifier!
At the end of the day, he tried it and came to a personal conclusion. I also tried it and came to a personal conclusion. Romy is still just farting into the air.

Please, guys, I'm not an experienced builder at all!!Please don't offed a real experienced builders! I'm rather both hopelessly stupidand ignorant. Knowing that, I'm trying to be carefull. That's all. My active participation here, apart from the spir...

Hello Romy,I've only heard the 801 in class A2, but I can easily imagine that the 10Y or 801 with nickel output would offer the purest possible sound in the 1k-10k range, such that it is the S2's true voice you are hearing. It's something I'm going t...

The fix bias of driver and out stages are fine. Why he need to have 1:8 input transformer. The driver stage does 32 time gain, the output stage does ...

[quote user="vuki"] To tell you the truth I was already very satisfied with sound, but I just wanted to make that powerful triode amplifier - I really don't need it. But it's nice to have it. As you know in this hobby it's not so much about the end o...

If you study the above, you'll note that the topology involves some compromise, namely, a trade-off between a lower series resistor (for better drive of the following valve) versus a lower current draw through the CCS . This draw has to come through ...

Contemplating now how to organize biasing for 3 singe stages of my 6-chanls amp I was faced the dilemma: do I need to bias my tubes. The 6E5P/6E6P are Russian tubes and it means that are very different right from the boxes. The Milq, driver tubes, be...

Below are some images that show the locations of the various filter caps within the amplifier chassis.The big cap for the First Stages is located directly below the 6E5P tubes...The big filter cap for the Bass Channel is adjacent to the Bass OPT (pee...

Unfortunately I've reached out but not managed to make contact with John Hasquin regarding the spacer in the upperbass horn. I'll just have to wing it.I did finally manage to get a day and a half to make the second DSET operational but it refuses to...

Thanks for your help Romy. Have a look at this (barely legible) sketch so we have a common reference:This is Channel B First Stage bias circuit. All is identical to your published schematic apart from R9 which I had to increase to get the other sta...

Shannon, from your questions I "understand" that you want to drive lifeless speakers with a hybrid amp that features a 6E5P first stage. Is that what you want to do? What do and don't you like about your present set-up? What do you hope to change an...

It is imposable to live in Boston…and particularly since I installed that large directional rotatable antenna on my roof and able to get everything high quality from Rhode Island to New Hampshire. The only problems that I see… is the hard drive space...

people think you can use 6e5p single stage full range.
like for example

Interesting….. It is interesting to think about the relational of Melquiades slow take-up. I think that major contributing factor is that guy who calls himself Romy the Cat. Really, I think it’s it. The people who are capable to build amplifiers more...

[quote user="op.9"]Could you help me understand your biasing scheme with this version? I thought I understood the original Milq circuit - but the only channel that looks like that to me is the D channel. I don't get A and B at all! what is the 50 ohm...

But here it is. I made this monoblock fit into less than a square foot. It is tight. I use Hammond iron throughout. Their stuff usually works pretty good for power supplies. I have some photos at my blog. [img]http...

[quote user="nl"] Gordon Rankin of Wavelength Audio did a series of one-stage DHTs with a step-up transformer input about ten years ago. I think they were called the Mercury series. By all accounts, they sounded good, but of course had limited gain, ...

Sure I was not able to do not listen it as the pain dried. It was incredible ad-hog sting of the drivers. All woofers are series. I know, I know but they are 4R each and I wanted to drive it with 2A3 just for the first test. The post is tuned - I hav...

Hi Romy,Agreed about the S2 transformer being the most prominent it is here I think that mumetal will shine. I should have said that I was referring to the upper S2 covering 1k-12k or so. I wasn't too clear earlier - when I suggested rolling of...

user="anthony"]Hi Romy,
Further to my earlier message, I've measured the bias
voltages for the driver tubes in all Channels.
A -4.3V not adjustable
B -13.82V not adjustable
C -4.8V not adjustable
D -4.2V (ran out of potentiometer travel...

Well, the more I think about it then more I realized that I would like to try it. I’m contemplating to make 5-6 channels on single-stage Milq: 4 channels for each Macondo channel and 1-2 reserved for any perspective lower bass channel or for perspect...
