The last two weeks I have no preamp in house. I have great vintage EVS attenuators but I can’t use them with Melquiades as they talk with Milq’s input filters absolutely killing sound. The only way I can play music thos...

[quote user="slack key"] As for audio problems, you are correct, I really have to sit back and think about what to do. Sure I want to improve what is now lacking.... soundstage, imaging and depth. As for the sound, of course, I like the sound o...

I recently dealt with two manufactures that produce music . I noted that both of them stated with good result but nowadays, years in operation, they produce despicable crap. This correlates with a famous amplifier manufacturer, very much not stup...

Paul, it has nothing to do with noise reduction devices. It has also very little to do with the media on which the recording took place – would it be LF, tape or digital file. Audio it is about expression of musical spirituality through the semi-barb...

yap. the Olympian uses 70-500-5000-15000 cycles XO.
While the Palladian shifts to 70-400-5000-15000 cycles. (mainly due to cost saving on the AK151 phaseplug-design)
They use 6th order LR filters in the lows, 2nd order in the ...

[quote user="decoud"] Romy, can you be persuaded to post a sketch of what you think the optimal 2 channel Melquiades circuit would look like? [/quote]
Decoud, I do not think that there is such a thing as optimal DSET. The entire concept of DSET is a...

Romy,I might have overlooked something on your site but I understand that your ULF amp is driven directly by the preamp line stage. If that is the case, you may want to consider an old technique for integrating subwoofers and drive your ULF amp w...

Jessie,
A few hints. If you are moving from Parsifal/Encore and LammM1.1 world into the world of SETs and Horn then do not be in hurry to commit yourself and do not create to yourself artificial addictions.
When I talk about artificial addictions I...

I spend quite a few hours playing with the new channel trying to ingrate into Macondo but so far not successful.
Since the new channel and the Macondo upperbass horn have identical sensitively and identical impedance I figured that I would drive it...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have to say, that I genially like the new 99.5. I do not have as perfect reception as I had with 97.9 with absolutely clear, no noise background. Still, thankfully the compression of the new 99.5 is very low and last ...

Well, it is hard to express my excitement about what the new FM99.5 All-Classical is turning into. It looks like the programming is settling down and my concerns about to become too popular turn out to be wrong. The programs are very good, the ...

...we'll have to compromise somewhere. So, since it isn't the spkr's range, then it must be the amplifier. Forget the ML's 18W. We must have ~38-40, so let's say our machine is using a 45 / 211 / 610 /g70 type of tube.Also I don't suggest we conclude...

Romy,
Thanks for your comments.
When you write "...but the major question for me, if I were in your situation, what kind topology you will be using the lower bass channel and how you will be driving it."
I assume you are suggesting that the ...

[quote user="drdna"] The altered topology of DSET has the potential to have disadvantages. There is increased overall system complexity and this often seems to be a negative. Beyond this, it is difficult to expound, for me, on the specifi...

Paul,
Thanks for pitching the Johnson capacitors. They do not look “large enough” for me. I used in past the following caps:

They have very good size to value ratio. The ironic part that I just called to th...

This is kind if funny as I never thought that I will go this way. I kind of have a need for an amplifier. For a normal full range amplifiers that would be able to drive conventional speakers. I really can’t use the Super Melquiades as it has the live...

Romy and friends,
Reading about the sensitivity of your system to electrical power supply problems reminds me of the days when I used to make my own equipment as much for the learning experience as for the final result.
One of the mundane things I ...

Greetings,
I may be able to answer some questions regarding crossovers, multi-amping, etc. - without getting bogged down, hopefully, in metaphysical issues.
First off, I live in San Francisco, if he's inclined 'drdna' and other locals are wel...
