I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

Romy,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you… (this being the summer time in a Latin country, I still have no internet connection at the new place).

After a month of listening exclusively Melquiades and decided yestoday re-switch everything and to play Lamm’s ML2.

OK, it took for a while but at this point I have nailed down all design aspects of the new 6-channels Super Milq, and particularly its input stage. I have listen and evaluated all solutions that will be implemented in there; selected, appraised and o...
