I am kind of at lost, as what is doing on with my playback is surprising to me. With a pair of new 6-ch Milqs, more or less acceptably calibrated (but not perfectly), the system begin to throw some very astonishing effects, so astonishing that I am v...

[quote user="hagtech"] I run the driver tube at 170V @20mA. I don't think you need to run this tube at high current. It is very linear with wide signal swings at this bias. [/quote]
Good operation points for use it as a driver. You might...

A few days back I posted the following post:

…proposing the parties of interest to play along in Milq vs. DHT competition. This interst derives from the following thread:

Here is another Milq amp looks like was built and it appears to be in Thailand. I do not read Tai and do not know anybody who doe but I am interesting what they discover while they build and after they did.

Consider a triode connected 13E1. 95W dissipation, will probably work beautifully with the existing OPT if you adjust the gap down and if you can rewire your arrays to present a somewhat higher impedance.Something like 400V-450V / 200mA-ish will ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I kind of like that APS stay behind of their regenerator and that they are trying investigate what went wrong. Who knows, perhaps when the APS unit arrive back to me (after some changes in the unit state) it will be effecti...

First of all: I have moved this thread into the Milq Forum…..

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] It will drive either my Tannoy Gold's full-range, or my 3-way system (Altec 515/Vitavox S2/EV T-350 or JBL 2450). I could also use it just to drive the Altec 515 and use my current 300B to drive the MF/HF of my...

Another “interesting” thing... Any amplifier that I know is absolutely disabled to let me as a listener to extract from music something without unavoidable loosing a perspective to the whole musical peace. The Melquiades swallows this task with ...

Many peoples since I begin to harass my site visitor with the “Melquíades” paranoia have asked me questions about the sound of those amps. Try to put aside my excitement about the FINAL result of this project I will try to convey what exactly I appre...

[quote user="cv"] I'm enjoying this account of Melquiades upbringing. I must ask though: how are you sure that what you are hearing isn't on the recording? Not that I don't believe you, I just wonder if the stuff has been there all along and undiscov...

[quote user="AnonymousUser"]I am thinking of launching into building or rather having buitl by a techie friend a pair of melquiades. Could you tell me more about the cost of building a pair of these amps? then how do they compare to other amps? I mea...

hi romyI am not fgrustrated but trying to gather information before making a decision. I sen you an email from france and I own electrovoice patricians in a large room, about 100 square metresmy question is is your amp real better than say the lamms ...

I run some sweeps on the new Melq. It looks like it is moderate, somewhere from 20-21Hz to 22-23Khz. Since I run the 6C33C at near 60W for now it is fun to see how it works. In the scope the repose and the distortion at LF looks kind of funny but I h...
|
A few days ago I decided to learn how the new Melq sound and made a quick speaker level crossover for one of my Macondo’s channels, putting the new built Melquiades to drive the acoustic systems that the SET meant to drive (Before it was 82dB and 88d...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] There are a few good shops in Paris that have shelves and drawers full of components. And, across the channel …. [/quote]Yes, you might experiment with transformers. Sowers have good reputation but I never used them...

Romy,
Thanks for the updated image of the Super Melquiades.
For the past 10 days I have had to temporarily stop production of the horns and put off researching components for the amps; all this is due to my moving to a new apartment sooner than...
|
Allo I tell you what it is that's putting everybody off, it's that bloody input stage biasing arrangement... The other thing is that people who know enough to build it have probably read a bunch of stuff here and there, and therefore been anointed in...
|
You are correct about the load matching, for the Super Mild LF channel a half-Ohm of loading change bass quite dramatically. Still, the idea was to make this SET completely without any intentionally implemented feedback. It is juts not necessar...

Frankly speaking I kind of thankfully drifting away from observing what is going on in the industry and particularly in amplifiers. Since 1998-99 I was using explicitly Lamm amplifiers that were heads and shoulder more interesting then anything else ...

It, looks like the problem with the steel chassis picking up stay magnetic fields from my Super Milq’s power supply is about to be gone. With the introduction of the 3 extra single-stage channels I needed more current for 6.3V filaments and slightly ...

Further looking at where I would like to take the new 6-chennal version of the Super Milq I am contemplating a new revision of my bass channel output transformer. Currently I have Jack Elliano’s made 450mA, large, single section LF transformer that b...

Has anyone built the DIY Melquiades amp shown on this site? Looks like an easy DIY project to pop off over a weekend. If I build them (which would be PURELY for fun because they're not going to be able to compete with my sweet sweet Quicksi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In here is not the value are important but the concept the you block DC not with capacitor but with an “active” resistor that backed up with positive voltage. BTW, eventually if you wish to go “kinky Milq” and have a v...

Among many bad habits of mine I have developed one more – I do not shut down my power amps. The 12 channels of the Super Milq are running sometimes weeks non-stopping, thankfully weather still allow to do it. I presume it is environmentally unconscio...
