[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The S2 has own very idiosyncratic upper range with own helpful resonances injected into sound. I feel that that original metal suspension diaphragm does it bolder and more aggressively then the plastic suspension dia...

It was after midnight and I returned from my urban Saturday supper. A pair of the recently born “Melquíadeses” was sitting in the mid of the room, glowing and asking: so what? A sudden necessity of a radical audio sadism attacked me and I...

*** I've received and read most of February issue of Stereophile. They review the last M1.2 Reference amplifier and the comments from the reviewer are more about how the music can flow and show as a unique event, with the kind of interaction with the...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] For now, the amplifiers I use are a pair of Lamm M1.1s (was going to look for a pair of used ML2s, but more and more considering building a pair of Meliquaides). Using the M1.1s with a pair of V.A. Parsifal/Encore (direct...

I put a couple days ago a silk dome tweeter in the game. I look in my storages to see what I had there among the traditional silk domes. I ended up pulling out my North Creek Music D25 driver.

It is a very strange feeling, but I really feel how this entire idea should sound. I mean the 500W SET of the REAL SET driving a 12-14 cubic feet of sealed enclosure loaded with North Leviathan Driver.
In past when I played with SETs driving Aura 1...

It is sucks to live with Russians Tubes. It is particular sucks to live with 6C33C. They are all deferent when they new, they age very ungracefully and differently.
The life with Super Melquiades, where I use 6x6C33C driving individual channe...

Morricab,
I do not know the “truth” and what I said are pure my speculations based upon what I hear and what I measure.
Yes, Lamm drivers at 310mA quite hard but do not forget that his objectives, besides everything, were to get out of his SET max ...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] I'm sure there are many bad implementations of the 845 and 211. Almost all of the commercially available ones are pretty mediocre. However I have heard good examples of both so I know it can be done. [/quote]
Actually I d...

I always do call and speak with people. This is Internet and they write whatever they want! I always would like to confirmer that behind the web proclamations there is something else then proclamations. BTW, this Denis sounded perfectly complement an...

Hello all,Some time ago, I bought a pair of very early production ML2s for an ongoing horn project (see "Note at end").Rather than just let the ML2s sit and wait for the horns to get done, I of course tried them out with my "normal" 89db/watt@1m spea...

Yesterday I got two emails asking me about Lamm ML3. I replied as I usually do, saying that I that I do not practice in satisfaction in audio-consumer curiosity. Still, it made me to think again about a hypothetic amp around GM-70.I am not a fa...

[quote user="mark"]with reference to the LL1627a as used in full range application in melq.you mentioned a good choice gapped at 200 ma but i would prefer 300ma but they do not do it.i had k and k check with lundhal and they will do it and at the sam...
|
[quote user="Merlin"] Indeed the linearity of the Berning in comparison with the Lamm is quite remarkable, and indeed could be disconcerting to an inexperienced listener brought up on large increases on 2nd harmonic at the bottom end. [/quote]
“The ...

Well, I have to admit that I did not listen the whole sound of AC vs. DC filaments yet. I will bring home today my DC lab supply that I use for my electromagnet coil and will give the try. I still at this point am not concerned about the “whole ...
|
Yep, it is a lot of work and it might look like not well organized work but there is good part in all of it – when you will be do you will be done and you would never do it again. Practice shows that those custom tailored systems are made and then us...

There is more information about the Lamm new LP1 phono preamplifier, including the price of $33K

The images do charley show two step up transformers at the ent...

[quote user="el`Ol"] Hello Romy, have you searched for explainations for these observations? Are there others who made the same observations and tried to explain them? Does the damping factor play a role?From my limited experience I can say that ...
|
[quote user="Paul S"]Anyone ever tried the "pinless" tubes that have long-ish wires in place of the usual pins?
A Moscovite I ran across has Russian mil-spec 6AK5 "equivalents" that have pinched glass and the wires instead of pins. Oddly, Lam...
|
Jessie-There are the current japanese teflon sockets, and vintage american manufactured sockets - I think either should be fine. The pin springs on the OEM pair I replaced had no grip or spring characteristics. When the pin holders are bent, they ...
|
It did not last long….
Just a couple days back I was thinking that I will live with my current lower bass for a while and now I feel that I will not. I do not feel that my current ULF is wrong. In fact I feel that it is truly superb but I wou...
|
[quote user="KOTriode"] The Melquiades give me inspiration to build this 6C33C amplifier. It's on a stereo chassis that has few unique features - Vacuum tube rectifier separately for Input/Driver and Output tubes. - Regulator using the same tube ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Just wonderful! I raise my glass to Karl Leonhard! [/quote]
Back in 1984 I was 16. At that time I was dating a girl who was 27. She was getting her psychology degree and was making some extra cash as a wedding singe...

Yes, I promised to tell about, so here is comes.
The past Sunday I woke up at 6AM and first intention to answer to myself what is wrong with my ULF. I had wonderful sound with absolutely wonderful and the most important very proper bass. Howe...

I got home today, power up the payback and played some bootlegs of Australian festivals that Kostas Metaxas sent me another day. I paid attention that the sound was strange it was too hard atop. That was something new. I put in my player the CDs...

In response to http://audiofederation.com/blog/archives/501
[quote user="The Federated Mike"] First, the Ongaku, the Audio Note …. U.K.(!) … Ongaku, that we have here is not micro-details challenged [to say the least]. The Kondo Ongaku may indeed be...

Ok, this is probably the most important section as besides all positive changes that PP2000 does to sound it does this one, the one that I call “softness”, and the values of this “softness” have to properly understood and interpreted.
The “softness”...

[quote user="Merlin"] If there's one thing I hate about internet forums it's people postulating about sounic characteristics and possible failing in equipment they have never heard. [/quote]
Merlin, I was under impression that it is very obvious tha...

First of all: I have moved this thread into the Milq Forum…..
[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I'm going to try and build a Melquiades type amplifier (with some help from friends) following the advice given above to make it as simple as possible.&n...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] Believe it or not, this very short, direct, explanation helps put everything else I have read about the Melq evolution in perspective. [/quote]
Hm, darkmoebius,I really do not know why it clears skies for your in anyways. ...
