[quote user="guy sergeant"] I would however be interested to hear the ET transformer. What do you understand of their construction that makes them so well regarded? I see they were made in MA. Do you know the people involved / where they were wo...

This is Romy's unit that he let me borrow.It does produce the cleanest electricvity I've heard in my system in over 30 years of trying.A new find last night: The one amp with the problem power supply transformer is buzzing at the same frequency as th...

hmmm sorry Romy for the lost of your pp2000 ....I would like to share one opinion from a technician that lives in Japan and lived in Chile . We were discussing the issues of electricity and he said "Lines in Chile are poor quiality , cables are too t...

Thanks, I will take it all under advisement. Yes, I consulted with my magnetic experts about the opportunity to have an air-core output transformer driving the HF channels. They brought 1 hour-long technical justification why it should not be a...

Sine I informed public about Melquiades amplifiers I receive many emails from people asking me about the operation points of 6C33C. For whatever reasons people mistakably took me for some kind of 6C33C guru, which is am not. Moreover I could be hardl...

[quote user="Bud"]I am about 3 weeks away from supplying 3 Kz ohm to 4,8 & 16 ohm SE outputs for 300b or 2A3 tubes to George Wright, of Wright Sound, and Gary Pimm of Pimm CCS fame (constant current controls to buffer stages from each other ...

If you are planning to build a dedicated LF SET then the line level crossing vs. passive speaker level crossovers is not the same devil. With a...

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...

Dear Romy,
Obviously it is impossible to convince you upon the frequency response of our transformers and in any case that is fine with me since everybody is entitled to its own assumptions and opinions and this is not bad at all, on the cont...

[quote user="Antonio J. "]MFA e-mailed me aknowledging that I was perhaps going to try the DIY way getting a "raw" transformer from S&B and offered me assistance. The "problem" is that their unit with a gain selector and load selector is way too ...

Hum is a multi faceted problem. We have identified 4 completely different causes of hum in amplifier power supply transformers exacerabted by AC power problems - and that kind of hum is not even the most common hum audiophiles have to deal with. ...

Hi Jaoco:It's actually rather reassuring that you have 230v in Chile so that if you report positively on an Equi-Tech unit, I will not have to worry that something could be lost in translation as one goes from a 110V unit to their 230v european count...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I still doubt that you were, by the virtue of insulation transformer and ground, able to get what PP2000 gives but as you understand there is no ways, or even needs, to address my doubts.[/quote]Yes agreed, there's no need ...

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

And I do not mean this as a criticism.I had for some time an "original" Music Reference RM9, which was made by another well-educated genius, Roger Modjeski. The RM9 was AB PP with adjustable bias and feedback/gain, with 6DJ8 drivers and a ...

Sorry, I should have said by now that my (15" Audax PR380M) bass units are FLAT to 38 Hz, and then they roll off naturally at 24 dB below that, meaning if I have 38 Hz @ 100 dB, then ~30 Hz is still >88 dB, and obviously 20 Hz is still p...

First major audio observation that I made is that my Super Melquiades should be revised. After a year and a half of using the amp I came across to some conclusions that outlined the prospective changes in my DSET.
1) The phase inverters after...

BTW, the Jessie, since you will be apparently mingling with you PP converting it into Euvro (Romynism form European Voltage) then you might find the comments of the PS Audio owner worth attention. Sure, not when his older PP is archaic product he is ...

I like to stress a point that the mammals that write thier doodles for audio publication are not juts ignorant fools but also the cheap, low class, falseificators. No wonder that the audio manufacturing companies do employ the so-called reviewers as ...

This weekend a friend of mine visited me to listen my playback and there was a very illustrative occurrence. We listening my audio and everything was like it should be in the program. He was visiting my last time in 2002-2003, before the Macondo was ...

***The proper loading value is difficult to say without knowing your system, as it is partly a preamp and ultrasonic RF issue as well as one that involves the cartridge and audible frequencies. Some cartridges have frequency abberations within ...

Jessie, I have two comments/questions.
Are you sure that using the USB you do not use the sound card? I am a software guy not a hardware guy and with my limited understanding I presume that an application that reads a file must talk to so kind of dr...

[quote user="KOTriode"]The preamp has the classic tube regulated power supply using 5R4, 6AS7, 6SJ7. It is transformer coupled output and has no capacitor in the signal chain, the gain is about 8db, so it is not a buffer. For convenience, it does...

It is impossible to make two amp with the same quality with such big difference in output tubes , the transformer design are vastly different, a 10Kohm transformer would never have a good bandwidth as a 600ohm transformer. I just have to experime...

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...
