Since I got my stable and good quality electricity back I recalibrated my bass horn. Again, I set it up with very precisely and absolutely without any measurements, juts by ear, to sound exactly how I want it to sound. This is in a way my crown jewel...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not think that my “resistance” to transformer preamplifiers” has to do with audio neutrality and particularly in context of “improved audio neutrality” as I do not think that neutrality might be “improved” (though it m...

Merely the horn-loaded combination of an S2 and a Fane 8M, driven by a full range Melquiades, is a world away from any ordinary speaker. It requires musical intelligence to arrive at that conclusion in the first place, iterating over a million possib...

Thanks for explaining, I understand now and yes I will not need to look at the Tribute transformers yet. AE europe sounds fine to me, they want around 450 euro each and I'll check on how long a wait. If the Tribute guy does come bac...

Connected today Melquiades and Macondo in new room. Macondo uses drivers as they are – no time or axis aliments of any kind yet, no Insertion Channels, no level calibration by channels. I just in-phase the channels and sat to listen, to see what happ...

Finalizing parts ordering for full range Melquiades and I have one thing with is unclear to me, the plate to grid resistor on the 6E5PIs R23 50R is this correct ?There is another R23 in the driver power supply .http://www.goodsoundclub.com/PDF/Me...

Hi Romy,Just thinking out loud here, but I have been listening to my mono DSET/Macondo for quite a while now and recently changed back to my old acoustic system so that I could poke around in the DSET innards for a little while. The old system (in s...

Good points Roman. Thanks!!. I already decided that I'll build dual channel amp with those "crappy 300b's"(as I already spent my winter shoes and vacations on them) tubes and full range Melquiades when funds allow. Did you say "mid-bass" in the cont...

Dear Kitty,[The positions of the instruments are an arteffect of sound reproduction and in real "live" you do not recognize the instruments positioning. You acknowledge thier presents “somewhere there” but you never recognize it as “right” ...

Somewhere in 1997-88 I bought a hundred 6C33C. I believe during those years the where more expensive then now and I paid around $7-8 per tube. Over the years burning the 6C33C in pair of VK-60 (8 tubes), two pair of Lamm ML2 (ML2), ML2 with Melquiade...

Decoud, I never planned to abandon this thread but I felt no urgency to continue it as well as it looks like no one more built Milqs at present time, at least to my knowledge. If I feel that there are people out there who are going over Melquiades bu...

First of all it was quite interesting and quite educational. Second of all it answers no questions but rather creates more questions. Here is what I try to compile some my observations and thoughts on the subject.

[quote user="N-set"]BTW, how stable 6E5P is? I'm asking as I was contemplating biasing the output by the voltage drop on 6E5P's plate choke (DCR is say around 1k),with only some minimal autobias on the output. The drawback is that any drift in th...

[quote user="Wojtek"]I'll experiment with the PSU a little. The transformes have only 1 Ohm DCR and total supply impedance for a channel would be ~ 45 Ohm (with two chokes in series) Imput choke looks like can take 1 A current! [/quote]

To whoever loony people who still observe me battle with Vitavox S2 driver I would like to inform abbot my latest events.
Believe me or not but with the Super Melquiades dedicated HF channel I find the internal courage to try the older diaphragms. ...

I got toady the preamp from Guy Hammel. Oh, boy, I did not expect that it will be so interesting.
The initial idea was very moderate to add more inputs to my preamp. We ended up with adding 5 inputs extra input, so I have 11 all together – eventuall...

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...
