Hi Romy,Am I misunderstanding something about the 6C33C?I had a look at the operating point you recommend for this valve in your 'full range' Melquiades amplifier. The way you are using it seems to give almost 20% THD.Does this sound good or is it ju...

Romy,I think there are many of us that follow your audio endeavours with a lot of interest and a lot of envy. I'm not talking about having the money to buy the Vitavox S2 etc.. I wish I had the ability to come up with interesting speakers/ampli...

I, in my stupid imagination, thought that I will be able to close my R&E saga as I thought I found a truly wonderful new home for myself. The palace turned out to be grossly, I would say fraudulently, misspresented. Got home very disappointed an...

[quote user="N-set"]This is what I try to stick to: Try to create closed magnetic (steel) loops around magnetics. Ideally acompany itwith closed electric (copper) loops. This I think Pieter has done that already for you, but,as Romy impicite suggests...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I detected that the Water Drop tweeter has VERY interesting ability to react to the stage of out stage. I am driving the Water Drop with a full range Melquiades SET. As you know the full-rage Milq use a moderate Lindale tra...

Romy,I have thought about what you might do to create some audio cash flow and two things came to mind.1. Audio doctor house calls. This would not mainly be to "audio people," as their goals and frustrations would usually not be what you would be w...

The point is that spatial separation is not necessary in music in the way it is necessary for visual representation. A single musical instrument is -- more or less -- a point source, and it need be no less expressive for that, including in relation t...

Well, the LL1627A is very good universal transformer with phenomenal flexibility (properly done - with section not with tabs) to load the output stage. It might be a good choice for a full-range amp at 200mA, though I would still prefer to have a tra...
|
Actually my leading though how to put one ass on all impedance chars is to have 5K primary with 12-16 coils of secondary. The 4K would be fine load for 2A3 type of pates. It would not be difficult to remap the secondaryes to get 7K-8K that would be O...

Inhaling Melquiades for long time. But have feeling about dset again. Started experiments years ago and abandoned. have full one stage 6e5p blocks all proper Melquiades way. except misplaced output trannys or maybe never had right ones. What Amorph...

Hello everyone,
I am thinking about building the full range Melquiades amp. I have inexpensive speakers meadowlark kestrel hot rod (88dB). I am planning on replacing the speakers, however, I am not sure when. My question is - should I even try the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If I were you then I would not pursue for any amplifier and particularly DSET. If you are building the building a multi-way horn system but build it, drive it from whatever amplifier your have now, get a good sound and good...
|
Hm, that is a good question. I honestly do not remember. The 6ch Super Melquiades has 7A fuse but I have no memory about the fuse I used in single channels amp. During the assembly I used the lamp fuse – that is given but in the final version I just ...

Hi D.,Call yourself whatever you like, but you started this thread not me. I am genuinely interested (or rather was)and was thinking of buying your items but am puzzled that you are not clear, in either your email to me or anywhere in this thread...
|
I kind of disagree with Adrian. The wire, the coupling caps, the cathode resistors and many other things are superbly important but it is after the strategic topology is settled. In my view caps, resistor, wire and other things are responsible for th...

I think it should be somewhere posted for my and perhaps for others future references. Here is the setting for testing Melquiades' single-stage tubes on Hickok 580/580A tube testers. To test the tube as a driver for a full Milq (two stages) set ...
|
[quote user="JJ Triode"]2. Offer to build and sell the full-range Melquiades by custom order. I know you have various reasons to put the Melq in the public domain and not build it for money, but you could leave the "plans" here on GSC and still sel...

I received an email from a reader of my site who came from DIYAudio.com (he stressed it) and who lives a couple of states away. He is willing to build a full-range Melquiades amps but before he would like to fly over and to listen my playback, making...

I was searching for an answer why squire wave is so screwed and I was advised by the site’s visitors that it is due to HF restriction of my channel. My HF response does look too low to me – the 23kHz; with all my ultra low capacitance magnetic I ...

Jessie, I hope you do not mind that I pulled it to the forum explicitly dedicated to the Melquiades Support.
5-channels Melquiades is ...

T, thanks for educational reply. I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from but unit I try better transformer, presumably your S&B TX-102 I would not be able to correlate your observations with my, perhaps too semi-prejudicial...

[quote user="drdna"] The altered topology of DSET has the potential to have disadvantages. There is increased overall system complexity and this often seems to be a negative. Beyond this, it is difficult to expound, for me, on the specifi...

I have so much fun today. I sent the whole kids with their nanny
and mom to a Boston children museum along with ants and with grandparents and deeded
to stay home to work on my listening room. Since I did not have good sound

Since I know about a few ongoing attempts out there by different people to build Melquiades I would like to share with some of my observations regarding corrections, simplification and possible modifications of Melquiades amplifier.
Obviously you ha...

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...

[quote user="Paul S"] Not to "sell" Milquiades, but how (other than multi-channel and bandwidth limiting) would an SET not crap out full range? Even the "big" ones just give out at too soon, and they can't maintain balance under any sort of pre...

Thanks very much for your prompt, courteous and informative reply!My thought about the crossover design for the EdgarHorn was due to a number of things:1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which i...

[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...

de Charlus,I don't think that you are taking the posts the way that they were meant.Your initial post started with a collection of what you consider to be the finest drivers for specific tasks. That is just fine and you may well be correct.The real j...

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...
