Romy,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you… (this being the summer time in a Latin country, I still have no internet connection at the new place).
Quote from Romy “If your lower bass channels run from 40Hz and down then the PS, size of the c...

After a month of listening exclusively Melquiades and decided yestoday re-switch everything and to play Lamm’s ML2.
I was quite shocked with the result and I did not anticipate the ML2 could be so way off. I will not elaborate about the a...

[quote user="k100"] If I were to try to find a pair of ML2's that are older production, what years of production does this include? [/quote]
All ML2.1 are the new version of ML2 and they are not good as ML2. However, I have seen the original ML2 mar...

Observations and Thoughts from theRocky Mountain Audio FestBy Earl Geddes
First I want to thanks all of the kind people who came by the GedLee room. I hope that we both learned something from these meetings.
The Fest this year had about twice as ma...

In all those conversations about SET vs SS there is one important
element that is allays escapes people attention. People like or do not like
this or that type of amplifiers and they are willing to advocate their love.
What however they always for...

A woman I met last weekend asked me a question: “What you do for own pleasure, Romy?” In response I ran with her my standard “talk to women” Feline Psychiatrist scenario but with all seriousness - the question how to name what I do is not so simp...

Yes, Thorsten was the man
that made the initial modification in the EAR 834 and I need to note that it
was not redesign of any kind but juts basic modifications and admitting the unnecessary
things. Even though Thorsten is the industry p...

I regularly visit 6moons News Section that lately became quite good sources for audio news. It is same that Srajan not willing to share the news in RSS or compatible format, anyhow…

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Today turned the playback and I was surprise with gray and unexpressive bass. “What the hell?”- I asked myself. There was absolutely nothing done to playback but I look like I lost bass. My initials sentiment was that...

Wilson Audio Buys Rights to Romy's Amps and Speakers
Due to a reversal of fortune, Romy ("who would have thought all those air core capacitors would have added up to so much") sold all the schematics, rights, and designs of his Super Melquiades am...

A always considered that there are two altimate clowns in audio-press: Srajan Ebaen from 6.moons and Steven Rochlin from enjoy the Music. If I perceive Steven Rochlin as some kind of freakish “Da Ali G” of audio then Srajan stir within me with ...

I have been asked by a number people who monitored my progress with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter: “Romy was it worth it?” Well, I think after a year of leaving with tweeter, learning and satisfying it’s little habits I might pass some generalizing obs...

My prize to the most interesting and educational room at the show goes to a room with WAVAC 833 power SETs. Visiting this room made me to think a lot and made me to draw a lot of very valuable to me conclusions.
I heard a lot about those amps. Recen...

[quote user="Thorsten"]I wonder, which specific line level interstage transformers have you tried, it would have to be ALL of them in order for your statement "there are non" to hold.......But, what specifically do you object to in these transformers...

[quote user="Telstar"] Oh I was thinking about FLAC, such as the ones from Linn Records, not raw WAVE files. [/quote]
I use only WAVE64 (.w64) files,
[quote user="Telstar"] Not really: it is not true 24 bit. But it should be quite good, exp for th...

While the APS guys trying to figure out why this unit can not handle power (which more likely involved a phone call to China :-) I decided to give another try across everything, repeating my last listening, this time in relaxed environment with diffe...

OK, it took for a while but at this point I have nailed down all design aspects of the new 6-channels Super Milq, and particularly its input stage. I have listen and evaluated all solutions that will be implemented in there; selected, appraised and o...

I wonder how myth in all those digital gismos and how little what we considering in digital is obvious and self-explanatory in reality has not relation to Sound. Also, how much those people with who just learned how to solder and let their blind (and...

[quote user="twogoodears"] Yes Roman... I feel pretty like I entered a sort of "cul de sac", tube-wise... I contacted, few months ago, Western Electric USA and they told me that, at USD 750 ea. they have "plenty" of N.O.S. WE 437A... I've been ab...

I was reading the Stefano Bertoncello's post about his new multi-amping again options.

user="anthony"]I am calculating crossover scenarios for the HF
Channel (Channel F) and am hoping that you can remember a reasoning for using a
20K LPad instead of a larger value such as 30K or even 50K? As the larger

[quote user="guy sergeant"] In your earlier piece about how to use the S2 'properly' you wrote
"Whatever happens between the 400 and 2,5 is pretty much unnecessary for you garbage. So, get any known to you soft capacitor of 3uF and place it in serie...

The first level of listening perception is Static Level. At this level a listener perceives musical information as a collection of the individual sounds and a listening awareness tries to evaluate the “convince-ability” of those sounds. At this level...

Because I feel that with your help, sooner or later I will solve this problem. So far I have been feeling very frustrated for days, so I decided to post this on the forum as a last resort. I do not know any people who know electronics constructi...

Interesting….. It is interesting to think about the relational of Melquiades slow take-up. I think that major contributing factor is that guy who calls himself Romy the Cat. Really, I think it’s it. The people who are capable to build amplifiers more...
