Well, as I understand there is no truly GM70 vs. 6C33C context yet (sound in the respectfully equitable load) from you and it will be very interesting to hear from you when you feel that you are ready to say something. As I understand they are the sa...

My DSET amplifiers are starting to go together (slowly).Bias string and bleeder relays/resistors...The remainder of the filter caps. The middle floor goes on and the filter cap for the First Stages (6E5P/6E6P).Then the OPT's go in place and the shel...

[quote user="skushino"]Have you considered the opportunity of raising your upper bass HP crossover? How high do you plan to use your mid bass horns? If your mid bass is comfortable playing up to 280hz (or whatever the right freq is), you can use yo...

If you study the above, you'll note that the topology involves some compromise, namely, a trade-off between a lower series resistor (for better drive of the following valve) versus a lower current draw through the CCS . This draw has to come through ...

Contemplating now how to organize biasing for 3 singe stages of my 6-chanls amp I was faced the dilemma: do I need to bias my tubes. The 6E5P/6E6P are Russian tubes and it means that are very different right from the boxes. The Milq, driver tubes, be...

Below are some images that show the locations of the various filter caps within the amplifier chassis.The big cap for the First Stages is located directly below the 6E5P tubes...The big filter cap for the Bass Channel is adjacent to the Bass OPT (pee...

[quote user="vuki"] To tell you the truth I was already very satisfied with sound, but I just wanted to make that powerful triode amplifier - I really don't need it. But it's nice to have it. As you know in this hobby it's not so much about the end o...

Hello Romy,I've only heard the 801 in class A2, but I can easily imagine that the 10Y or 801 with nickel output would offer the purest possible sound in the 1k-10k range, such that it is the S2's true voice you are hearing. It's something I'm going t...

Well, it looks like I got fucked by the transformer company.that realy sucks !!! I have not talked to them yet ,but even if they agree to replace them it will take at least 6-8 weeks plus international shipping cost , import tax , VAT .Filament tran...

Shannon, from your questions I "understand" that you want to drive lifeless speakers with a hybrid amp that features a 6E5P first stage. Is that what you want to do? What do and don't you like about your present set-up? What do you hope to change an...

Unfortunately I've reached out but not managed to make contact with John Hasquin regarding the spacer in the upperbass horn. I'll just have to wing it.I did finally manage to get a day and a half to make the second DSET operational but it refuses to...

Thanks for your help Romy. Have a look at this (barely legible) sketch so we have a common reference:This is Channel B First Stage bias circuit. All is identical to your published schematic apart from R9 which I had to increase to get the other sta...

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...

[quote user="op.9"]Could you help me understand your biasing scheme with this version? I thought I understood the original Milq circuit - but the only channel that looks like that to me is the D channel. I don't get A and B at all! what is the 50 ohm...

Hi Romy,Agreed about the S2 transformer being the most prominent it is here I think that mumetal will shine. I should have said that I was referring to the upper S2 covering 1k-12k or so. I wasn't too clear earlier - when I suggested rolling of...

Sure I was not able to do not listen it as the pain dried. It was incredible ad-hog sting of the drivers. All woofers are series. I know, I know but they are 4R each and I wanted to drive it with 2A3 just for the first test. The post is tuned - I hav...

Further to my earlier message, I've measured the bias
voltages for the driver tubes in all Channels.
A -4.3V not adjustable
B -13.82V not adjustable
C -4.8V not adjustable
D -4.2V (ran out of potentiometer travel...

Romy, I'm of course familar with your MF design and Jim's 6E5P curves is what I base my considerations on at this moment (along with the corresponding Spice model).Your DHT MF is quite self-balancing due to the large cathode resistor. WhatI have in m...

[quote user="cv"] Consider a triode connected 13E1. 95W dissipation, will probably work beautifully with the existing OPT if you adjust the gap down and if you can rewire your arrays to present a somewhat higher impedance.Something like 400V-450V / 2...

We all know how low-power SETs sound driving low-sensitively ported speakers. The Morons feel that it they have “enough volume” then their SET is good to go. Of course it is not the case and low-power SETs shell not driver dead speakers.
However, I ...

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 ...

Hi Romy,So, six channels are now operational in the first DSET. By up I mean the anode voltages on all tubes is about right and the currents are in the ballpark of where they need to be. I am yet to check the DC Offset so hopefully that goes ok.Ini...
