I appreciate your patience with my electrical questions.

As a good friend mentioned to me when discussing the unsolved mysteries of tubes amplifiers "I look out at the stars, the God Of Triodes winks at me, I know I cannot know what a God knows".
Peter,

I would not share the vision of your friend. I do not like the mystification and if I (or anyone else) do not know answers then it doe not mean the answers do exist. For some people the birth of speckled and spotted sheep from while parents might appears as a mystery that God of Triodes winks but for the shepherd Jacob, when he proposed his demands to Laban, it was not a result of super-magic winking but rather the outcome of reasonable and targeted actions. I would propose the Melquiades effect is the result of targeted materialization when a desire of getting a certain sound involuntarily filters out the methods that might not serve this Sound. Was this find accidental? Yes in a way, but neither Dima nor I were paying attention to the God’s winking but rather to the delta between the targeted and achievable Sound. My personal mind, whatever is left, does not question anything further then getting good Sound. When I get it then I discard the process and exercise Result. Dima, as a professional radio-engineer, does care about the inner-reasoning of the processes and perhaps you need to talk with him about the theory of the Melquiades’ under-hood.

Rgs,
