[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am sorry; I do not follow what you are saing. I see no relation between a need to use a crossover with DSET topology. The Cat[/quote]What I am thinking is that with full range amplifier, you must use a speaker level cross...

[quote user="Paul S"]I will eventually get another pair of ML2s to slave the bass/save the upper registers, because, as we all know by now, dedication rules. [/quote]
It wouldn’t be a DSET but rather just a simple bi-amplification. Bi-amplific...

Hello Gera,First thing I would do is get rid of the active Xover, in my experience they mud everything up. preamps are very important and this is like a double preamp with a lot of gain stages. For bass you can maybe use it. I use a separate Xover...

[quote user="vuki"]Anyway, my plan was to make powerful triode NFBless amplifier for relatively small money. I'm really satisfied with what I did. Maybe I should have done GM70 SE, but what would be my next project then?[/quote] The GM70 is a bitch a...

I need to tell you that I did not finalize mu Milq DH DSET up to the point where I would listen it. Perhaps I am wrong but the amp even in the last version has some lack of agreeability. It is good on paper, it might even sound right when it will be ...

Yes, my friends called me that too, but hey, I can't help it, my curiosity on tube amp get the best part of me, plus I can't build enough power amp to power all my 3 tri-amp system. I collect all kind of transformer, just for the 845, I tried about 6...

It looks good to me. As you can see I have left plenty of room to add a couple of more channels.The bottom level contains the power transformers and relays. The diode bridges hang from the the middle shelf and the chokes and filters are on the top ...

[quote user="anthony"]Macondo is no magic bullet. Sure, Macondo/DSET is put together in a way that it's components need for optimal operation, and when "used as directed" the performance is phenomonal, but it is still prone to room integration and p...

I do not know why Placette
does not work in your situation. You do not have enough volume? If it is the
case then you might have too low gains in your front end. All my front ends
have very high gain: Bidat, Lavry, my...

|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm you are true in the “terra incognita” territory as far as I concern. The preamps are mystery to me. All my attempts to make any decently sounding preamp or even buffer failed. To me Placette was truly God sent and if I g...

This is not as simple question as one might think. If a person embrace DSET topology, let for instance to take my example of 6-DSET channels, then what to do with cables that feed the DSETs? In my case I use one interconnect between preamp and DS...

[quote user="Teflon"]If I understand you, your amplifier uses line level frequency selection at the input to each channel, and the output of each channel is optimized for the frequency range of interest -you worry not about the performance of a chann...

[quote user="twogoodears"]I'm pretty interested in yr. opinion about the possible choice of best, safest, smoothest way to use solid-state amp/low-end with "Triamp"... ok... 3-channells DSETs... and my system upper ways... what slope do you think...
|
|
I do not think so. There is no such a sing as optimal generic DSET but there is a concept of optimal DSET for a given situation. So what I think would be nice if some kind of company come up with a Reconfigurable DSET . The Reconfigurable DSET, or RD...

Firstly, thank you to Montepilot, Paul S, KLegind, zanon and Romy for all your thoughts on the Zu Druids. I recently tried high-passing the Druids at various frequencies and using a pair of Wilson-Benesch Chimeras and various amps for LF and uppe...

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).
Quote from Romy “If your lower bass channels run from 40Hz and down then the PS, size of the c...

I never listened to DSET/Macondo so I can not comment about the system but to have better love some ideas come to my mind.In my opinion "more emotion" comes from these area:1- Tone beauty and tone coherency (amplifiers are important in this area ...

ZZ, clearly, no single driver or pair of drivers can reproduce the range and power of an orchestra, and each of us deals with this according to our own personal demands and resources. The concern of this thread is trying to juggle/work with "phase" ...

I was yesterday drawing plans for the Zaratustra II’s chassis and was wondering how I might use it. The Zaratustra II turned out to be a little Monster, efforts-wise and expanses-wise. I hope it will demonstrate some results that will rectify the eff...

Hi Romy,I see why you don't like the design. And in particular, the choice of where he chose to limit the frequency responses for the two channels. I see the benefit of the DSET approach in this context as you explained it. If I understand you, your ...
|

You can build DSET for anything. DSET concept does not imply any topology but recognition of purpose and accommodation of a topology for the purpose. Generally the 93dB sensitivity is not something that I would attack with SET, unless you use SET aro...

[quote user="Reggie"] 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. I would enjoy...
|

Yes, Jessie, but in case you decide to go for DSET, would it be multi-channel Melquiades or anything else, then your consideration for type and topology of the lower bass would greatly dictate requirements for your DSET. If your lower bass channels r...

[quote user="rowuk"]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 bes...

Work has been so crazy busy all last year and through these strange times right now that I have not been having any time to think about the audio project let alone indulge in advancing it. One DSET/Macondo has been playing mono and I have really bee...

Anthony
Do I remember that a big part of Romy's choice for a pre-amp was based on the specific needs of his DSET Milq, with it's inter-stage X/Os? And do I remember the Placette Active Pre-amp has consistent, fully buffered 10R out?...

Part 2 – Description and explanation
Anyone who have ears and a rudimental mind to understand what ears register, and anyone among them who played with MF channels driven by SET, know that subject of SET loading is imperative.

[quote user="drdna"] Would you then suggest that this approach demands the DSET approach to succeed? [/quote]
The DSET resolves all problems with SET amplification; it is not surprise that Sakuma went there. BTW, my familiarity with Sakuma’s DSET wa...
