Has anyone built the DIY Melquiades amp shown on this site? Looks like an easy DIY project to pop off over a weekend. If I build them (which would be PURELY for fun because they're not going to be able to compete with my sweet sweet Quicksi...

An “attachment” and self-enslaving feeling that I hardly feel in anything and defenatly do not exercise any attachment in audio. The DIYers do not “get so far out there” they are “there” to begin with - nowhere. I do not just hate all that DIY-moveme...

I'm with Paul on this one. If the product exists for a reasonable price, I have no problem with buying it. I only resort to DIY when the product that I want doesn't exist (or it's too expensive). Frankly DIY takes a lot of time, and there's plenty of...

YES! We all know music lovers who have never heard great audio playback, and could probably care less about audio. They do know alot about music though. They are musicians, engineers, artists, regular people, those that have season ...

Dan,
I do not know were you’re going with “next step”, but I do see that some people treat interaction at this site as another swamp of DIY movement. This endless DIY paranoia when people pursuit abstract BS objectives and fulfill bogus frustrations...

Jessie, 45Hz horn with 6”-7” throat around AK151 driver is from my perspective is the best thing might be theoretically built around a cone driver. I really envy of you and if I had room I would unquestionably go for it; this is why I keep a pair of ...

I'm wondering if anyone used the industrial standard 2RM-type of connectors for a DIY Lo MC phono connection?http://www.trimmer.ru/?target=61&nom=20251The smallest is 2RM14 with 4 pins, 1mm dia so pretty low mass--no big diameter jump along the p...

Big differences between PS in my giant amps and my DAC, my passive attenuator and my phono stage, TT. PS has to be "good enough" for the application. Maybe "reverse engineered" from the demands end requirements (ie, the mind of the listener). Throw t...

[quote user="rowuk"]The subject of line filters and uninterruptable power supplies is one that has been pretty free of amateur DIY myths. No one seems to know what makes one sound good or bad and when. The subjects getting attention are IsolationReco...

Hello, would it be possible for us to see the diagrams and schematics behind the Zarathustra II in the same spirit as the Melquiades was conceived, noting that the best of ideas are formed with the purest of sentiments?[quote]It is Dima’s and my stro...

N-set, I give lip service and a sort of generic consideration to plate curves, but in the end I am not wholly secure in my understanding of this information as it relates to sound with a given tube in a given circuit. My usual basic tactic is to ask...

Sure, we talk about "long bearings" around here, but in the end few of us get as far as you have, if only because this one issue is just one issue, after all, and few have the time, money, and persistence to throw at compiling everything it takes to ...

Well, it is maybe one year from my initial post. I have not pursued the horn route basically because in the past year I have not heard any horn system that sounded like the Olympian. Given the time constraint, I did not want to pursue the DIY route...

I know the proprietor despises cheap DIY and I do, too. DIY should be a response to not being satisfied with what the market offers - not a cheap way to have something to listen to.All the while his system stands as a pinnacle of what one man can do...

N-set, before you wrap the signal wires with PTFE tape, I should mention that I have had some PTFE "tubing" on hand for quite a while, for "tubular" shield spacing, if I ever actually do it. I should also point out that most decent shielded IC has s...

Gera, isn't the basic idea of the [front loaded] horn to provide shaped, increasing gain as the frequency drops? So, is the idea here to use several wide-range drivers that all need similar boost, or ???If to reverse engineer such a thing, what are ...

Hi Romy,Well, this is my (and my dad's) first horn system so we're learning/building one step at a time. Our motivation is simple, to use horns as low as possible.The very first DIY configuration was:TAD ET-703TAD 4002GOTO 505TTTAD 1603 Woo...

Tax, do not go over yourself with “building paranoia”, looking for drivers, horns, boxes and etc. If you are looking for 80Hz to 200Hz range (you will need higher upper knee for AG Dou) then you do not need a bass driver with Resonance frequency of 3...
