[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...

[quote user="from email"] …. I have the valves etc. for the Melquiades but have not built it yet. I have begun thinking about the preamplification stage. Right now it is just purely passive. Is this not the optimal input for the Melquiades? [/quote] ...
|
|
A local guy asked me that since my low-powe, full-range Milq is sitting in my storage and I do not use it then he would like to try it: he has 1110dB sensitive speakers and SET and PP amps. I figure out that if I give the Milqs to him now then I wil...

I you have
an active speaker and want like to use Melquiades then you need a DSET
configuration, Find out where and how your Gryphon rolls off MF and
introduce the same filter from your DSET in the amp. Use much lower
value of coupling ca...

[quote user="decoud"]Romy, apologies for being unclear: the amp is not yet built: this is just a spare chassis I am offering for others who may wish to build it too. Inputs and outputs have not yet been added to the chassis. I therefore cannot co...

Vincin, thank you for appreciation of my work. A few comments and thoughts about the
direction you went.
I do think that to compare 300B with your version of Milq is
not proper way to demonstrate or to learn anything about sound, particularly

Romy, Greetings from the land of Melquiades,

Hi Romy, but I am simply curious that your Designed-&-Made-Yourself
have always had the flavour of the names and places from A Hundred
Years of Solitude ... Macondo the village, Melquiades the gypsy ... so
why the departue now to Zarathustra? ...

Ok, so it would look cool, but I'm not sure inducing an HF signal into your caps and having anything ferrous near the coil is a good idea. You'll get eddy currents even if there are non-ferrous conductors around.How this affects this end result is an...

This idea keeps to fascinate me.

and I really would like to try and to see what might happen. I’ have decided of move this task on my levels of priorities as something that I wo...

Loudspeakers. For whomever who follows my dairies on this site and whoever has any real understanding what makes a horn-loaded loudspeaker to sound good it is know that Macondo Acoustic System is not juts the result of my DIY efforts or the John Hasq...
|
|
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...

The headphone amplifiers are mystery for me. Form one perspective it should be simple but from another perspective I never heard any interestingly performing headphones amplifiers. Well, I have to take it back probably as wherever I even heard differ...

As I promised, I am informing about the fate of the Baby Melquiades project. The Baby Melquiades was armed for few days with new 60H transformer. The result was not positive. It sounded OK but it was not even close to the Melquiades sound. I wa...

[quote user="AnonymousUser"]hi-i have downloaded the circuit diagram for your amp but wondered if you have any photos of the "guts" so i can see how you laid yours out ? [/quote]

I would like to share my observations about public perception of Melquiades - The Realty Reconstructions Amplifier.
Melquiades, or as I affectedly-abridgedly call it “the Melq” was released to pubic exactly a year ago:

BTW, Jessie, this morning I opened a Super Melquiades and made some changes in plate current measurements. While I did it I took a shot of the Super Melq inside. The former image was made juts when I finished the amp. The current shot is actual stage...

Ah, last night, after midnight I picked in McMaster-Carr some elements for my proposed Supper Melq rack. Thy shipped it UPS ground and I had it delivered that same day! How they do it? Anyhow, I connected two shelves with 4 x 12” by 5/8” rods. I tigh...

What do you know: have built another Melq monoblock and now I have a operational pair. They do fine, measure and sound identical. I did not close them up and keep them for now without the top and bottom cover as I will be doing a few minor adjustment...

I keep thinking about power and how much extra power and gain I would need in a new room, Sure, it is not difficult to raise a white flag and do for SS amplification but I so would like to stay with SET amplification for my bass channels! I am lo...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I bought the ML2s to use as a development/reference tool while constructing this horn system. The idea being that I would first use them to dial in the horns, and later as a reference, to which I would compare and evolve ...

The Super Melquiades Amplifier is essentially the 3 parallel running Melquiades amplifiers optimized for driving my Macondo Acoustic System, with line-level or inner-stage filters. This SET uses a full 6C33C at LF output and ½ of 6C33C for HF and MF ...

Romy,Using the Fullrange PS I have bread-boarded the Fullrange amplifier...Turn off the lights and it looks much better.To my surprise (this is my very first amplifier build) everything seemed to work pretty much straight away. The voltages seemed r...

Hello, loudcloud,
The Milq’s meters are by Hoyt (link). You might look at
http://www.hoytmeter.com
and from theer your might customize it in any direction wish. They are not dirt-cheap but I fine them reasonable for what they do. Here is the pict...

[quote user="ml8"]So sometimes i just wonder why do you need 6C33C at all, with your high-sensitive speakers.[/quote]
