Hi Roman... you know "... but Twogoodears normally prefer a do not go to depth..." it's not an hide & seek kind-of-thing, but a necessity;-), as I'm not technical inclined or taught enough to discuss in depth of circuits designing... I'm only a u...

Hi Josh,I think it is all a matter of perspective. Personally, I would be very surprised if the key elements of the sound of that system that so impressed you is due to the Goto drivers. There are at least three more important things: that big roo...

Hi Romy,Great site, got lost here for a while now searching WE13a after building a WE91a 300B set, quess have to reconsider sell and wil look in to the Melq's for the near future... Also it even got me a little in to horns...For now i have a question...

Panos, it is not about convincing me. My standing is absolutely irrelevant in this subject – I do not sell audio and do not making living by evaluation of SET amplifiers. I report what I have witnessed, nothing more. Sure, it is very possible that y...

[quote user="N-set"]Somewhere earlier last year I searched for some tubes in ex-USSR and YO186 did pop up, esp. in Ucraine IIRC, with not unbearable price ~$100/tube, although in unknown condition (I did not buy any).[/quote]Yes, I have seen the YO18...

Hi Romy,So it is time to think about the bass output transformer in my DSET. My bass channel will be 8 x 25W/8565-00 each side set in a sealed box and will cover the frequency range below say 100Hz. These drivers can be wired anywhere between 1R an...

Hi Romy,Minor question with hopefully a simple answer.In the DSET schematic you have a 12.1k resistor in the bias for channels B, C, D and F. I have some nice 12k resistors here (not 12.1k) that I could use in those positions...can you see a problem...

Amir, I have shared that I quite liked the (original) Audiopax amps I have heard. Whatever they claim, they do sound right to me. Although I have never played much with a de Lima amp I have played quite a bit with most of my own phono stages, pre-amp...

[quote user="Paul S"]I have begun to see a pattern of diminishing net returns with respect to the smaller SETs, to the point where I wonder if their "potential" can ever be practically realized as Music in Full Glory. Lastly, the choice of an ou...

What is the most interesting is how all those completely lucid commentaries about Dannoy are off the mark in my view. Do not get me wrong, there is nothing expressed here is bad but all it describes how to get a “balanced” sound Dannoy configuratio...

[quote user="drdna"] Oh, I see you are absolutely correct. I am very puzzled. As it says on the website, the mastering studios relocated to a new location. Maybe there was no room for the old set-up. I was only in the old studio a few years ago. I sw...

[quote user="serenechaos"]I too plan to build Milq, but the DSET version. Nonetheless, I am following this thread, and any information will continue to be appreciated.
I'm in no rush, and not even starting actual construction yet, as I ...

I think the problem starts when we short circuit the process. It is easy enough to sell "the Best" of anything and still get mediocre results. If we are looking for a modular approach to DSET/speaker, then the results are also best guess because ther...

In my upcoming DH Milq MF DSET I will have an Innerstage transformer and output transformer. The loading of output tube has known effect to harmonics vs. transients, it is know, it is predicable and it is manageable. The Innerstage transformer might ...

I first heard the WAMMs in LA, sometime around 1984-5, or so. They were multi-amped. I suppose my (SS) amps would drive the new WAMMs FR, since they will easily drive Mark M's giant electrostatic speakers to over 100 dB, measured at 5 m. They are ...

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...

Mani, I am not talking about the Zu when I say that there is little chance of just buying and plugging in any given ready-made component into any given system and getting Music, ever. If anyone asks me, I always say, think of speakers-amps-room as on...

Paul S:DSET is a very high power solution to a question that I only have a very primitive understanding of. It is not right for me at this time.I would prefer if the model etc. of my speakers not be involved in this discussion. I know I am committing...

In the TAS that I bought because the Lamm ML3/LL1 review I found Jim Smith add about a new Engström & Engström Lars amp from Sweden. Jim tells the story about the Engströms and about the 20 Lars’s rules that reportedly assure “good sound”. Th...

Hello Romy
This is my first post. Did you take courses in electronics and mechanical engineering or have you learned yourself outside of a structured environment? I am very interested to become proficient in working on/modifying my own electronics. ...

...to obsess about speaker wire. Thinking about this a little more I realise that my preference for foil cables has always been in relation to speakers with passive crossovers. DSET is much more simple, the amplifier is driving the transducer direc...

The Lamm ML3 made me to think about this subject. Since my negative expectations about the ML3’s Class A2 operation turned out to be wrong and since we go into expense and efforts (totally unnecessary in my view as DSET make it worthless) and m...

I am not too worried about the 6C33C bass, since I have other alternative. Even if lower loading will improve it, the problem is to get more power out of the 6C33C to a 40W (PSE perhaps) level to be able to drive the 12in or 15in woofer, even then th...
|
|
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...

Just now, anyone who might build "proper" amps has also a built-in pre-meditated agenda. In other words, he is not only building amps but he is also - and primarily - trying to glorify himself - and his "main idea" - in the process.The truth is,...
|

Hm, I do not think that it all might be as expensive. If I rebuild Macondo now from scratch then it will be probably around $10K-$12K. The cost of midbass horn will be we around $15K and the 12ch DSET would be around $18K. So the number of $40K does ...

I got my last PP2000, after the repair was done. My second new unit works since I got it repaired; it runs the whole playback, sounding very well and my attempts to add a second PP2000 led, as I described to worsening of sound. In the very deep core ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I think it takes around 60 seconds on my amps. I have 2 minutes delay for high voltage, so it all within the limit. [/quote]
That is good to know Romy. It was quite frustrating when I tho...
