I have just taken out of my system a First Watt F5 clone Tim Rawson amp, It was substituted by a Telefunken PP amp with 6AQ5 tubes. Let me to explain.
My system consists of 6 way horn loaded speakers. I have a round Tactrix...

This week I will be trying to address why the Milq midbass is clipping. This is very interesting one. Currently the Melquiades LF channel uses an output transformer 700R to 5R or 11.83 to 1. I thought before that I have much lower ratio, like 5:1 bu...

[quote user="Wojtek"] Why can't you just stack them inserting new horn in between midbas and midhorn and keeping your original arrangement? Since your midbass sits on the floor, the tweeter still should be on resonable hight.I would transform your fu...

[quote user="decoud"]I am getting the components together for the full range version, and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to consider making available the drawings and the manufacturer for the enclosure. I rather like your design, a...

Still, would like to keep the thread about Melquiades as it is a Milq dedicated forum. If you attention is only S2 driver then move to an appropriate thread about S2 – there are plenty of them at this site.

Hi Romy
I have a mono completed full range Melquiades and another only with the bias circuit hooked-up.
The bias voltage I get on the 6e5p is around minus 4.4v on both the circuits. This is with the inputs shorted. With the inputs connected to adj...

In context of the recent changes in my playback regarding the electricity and the consequential effects:

I have revised and reinstated my interest in the DHT experiment. In addition to a...

[quote user="Wojtek"]I assembled SUN 2A3 amp for my friend and found it to be quality kit and very easy assemble. Kit was old .I think late 90's so maybe quality deteriorated since then. I have variety of 300b Czech tubes and (Eml 300b , KR 300...

Hello everyone:I exchanged a couple of emails with Romy, and since the topic may be of interest to everyone, I am posting the emails here. Just in case anyone wonders, of course I checked with Romy to see if he was alright with his reply to my em...

Romy:Again thanks for the response. With regard to the most important question, my choice would be to use the standard AM Amorphous C-Core transformers in the short term but the Direct Tube Drive in the long term. As I mentioned elsewhere, I was in t...

I was promising to tell stories of my audio miracles with no
order of chronology or importance, so here is another one. I think it was in
2002-2003. I was transitioning from Lamm amplifications to Melquiades and was contemplating
to introduce a DH...

Reading at my site Paul’s narrative about his fight with ML2’s tube and the ML2’s tube sockets I need to confess that I always was suspecting that he is some kind of odd wacko with bizarre and sick approach to the subject...

In the Bidat there was a question about the possible price for off the wall DAC that performs well.

That lead me to think wider – why do not we base our pricing policies and strategies ...

Splitting the Lamm ML3 thread: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=3595
There are some people who worship direct-heated tubes and attribute to them some ventures (like absent of higher harmonics and a special micro-fineness). The...

And email from a site’s visitor:….
“And for my full-range Melquiades, should I still try and build the original version or wait to see result of what you are working on now?”
This is a complicated question about 2-stage Melquiades vs. single-stage...

There is a number of people who asked me if I build Melquiades or if I know anyone who does it. I do not build them for sale and I do not know currently any technician who would offer his services to build Melquiades.
I know some folks who might be ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
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="Romy the Cat"]The "Catch-22" with Melquiades is not the Melquiades price but the fact that I SPEND NO EFFORTS TO CONVINCE ANYBODY to build it...I made the Milq available and frankly speaking for myself, I feel more gratified that I revea...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The idea was very simple: to convert the C filter into RC filter, to employ the Silicon Carbide Schottky rectification diodes that showed themselves so nice in 6-ch Melquiades and to beef up the preamp with large bet...

[quote user="drdna"] And the explorations that led you from the original Melquiades to this current set-up are well-documented over a period on months. Still, it might be instructive (to me at least) to hear concisely stated your dissatisfactio...

Got converted my Midbass to run from Injection Chanel Milq, the full-range one. The reference
level to drive Midbass is set at -8dB Melquiades Chanel C, so gain and power is not a problem,
so I need ~ extra 6 dB to attenuate the signal for the Inje...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]What you say may be true. I'm not sure there was an amplifier available in the mid to late 1980's that would have been suitable for these. They did get good reviews but I suspect that some of this was due to awe inspired by...

A year or so ago I published the evolution of building my full range Melquiades amplifier:

Last night I spent some time with observing my ULF and I conclude that I am not exactly know what I deal with. Do not get me wrong: the ULF forks fine, sounds fine and the playback is perfectly operational and listenable; it does sound very good ...

I tried the driver and generally I do like it’s sound a lot. It more sophisticated then Linaeum, it is more noble tonally and alike the Linaeum is seamlessly melts with Vitavox S2. In fact I am developing recently a theorem according to which a compr...

After a few years I have again pair of Lamm ML2 in my room and I decide to take advantage and render my experience with this amp into a format of my today’s understanding. I know ML2 quiet we and used it with a number of loads. Over the time I develo...

[quote user="KOTriode"] Without regulation, this amp would not work correctly due to its design: DC coupled and fixed bias. The high transconductance will make the bias current varied as much as 50-100ma due power line fluctuation without the reg...

[quote user="anthony"]I plan to
build a fullrange Melquiades for a friend and then if that works out the DSET 6

That is very good approach in my view. The
