I usually do not cruse across DIY forums unless someone folks about me. Here it was - at some Russian DIY site they translated my article “6C33C survival guide” that made me to see what they have in there. One article from their site attracted my...

What is it, 4 years gone now since I got the ML2s? After all my groaning about tube sockets, cheap caps and Russian tubes, I have to say these amps have gotten downright comfortable! Over time I have even come to take these amps for granted, which ...

In science, people organize the perception of reality using various theoretical concepts.One of such concepts is e.g. the electromagnetic field, which very successfullyexplains some class of perceived phenomena. The main people behind this conceptare...

Haralanov, You might not be familiar with it but it is very typical for many Russians audio practitioners. You will find many Russians who absolutely obsessed with one single, in most cases absolutely artificial, aspect of their playback. However, th...

[quote user="steverino"]People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles w...

thee srp in Zarathustra is cathode bias, melq is grid bias. If gas biased the srpp it would no longer be the circuit in zarathustra. what would this do to sound i have no idea. The function of the gas tubes in melq are not only for providing bias. ...

You need to know that I consider Paul’s finding absolutely ridicules. The 6C33C are very reliable tubes with surprisingly low for Russian tubes defect rate. You juts was unlucky or most likely the person who sold to you your party of tubes...

This is a quality and interesting article to understand the currently UA situation, and about what seems to be coming in Ukraine (the situation seems too fluid at political level to really gasp anything).

[quote user="morricab"] The one thing that the Lamm ML2 does differently than nearly all tube amps is regulation of the output stage. They do this with the 2nd 6C33C that is on the chassis. Even the KR amps don't do this and I think it is...

If you thoughtfully read my site then here and there (particularly in the articles about Lamm ML2) you read my “absurd” comments that the best performing system is the system that do best Sound while the power amplifiers not even plugged in the p...

Ok, I made some further experiments driving this time my S2 driver from Milq DH DSET. The hell of the sensitively - it was too much. So, I went for 4:1 inner-stage ratio. The result was very successful and the amp looks like was able to get more...

“Evgeny Onegin” is kind of idiosyncratically-charismatic Russian opera. As beautiful it is the “Onegin” has no typical thrill that the ordinary opera lovers accustomed to get rush upon. It has nether gipsy colors on the stage, nor masquerade grand da...

I admit that regarding many subjects in audio I love to sound, to act or just to be a compulsive. However, I feel that my compulsiveness does make sense to me and ironically it does make sense, quite frequency, for some others (unless they are Morons...

I remember when I built Melquiades I detected that quietly of wire that feeds the grid of output stage with bias, quality of soldering or any other minute detail on this wire was very auditable. I also detected that the proximity of this wire t...

Being a Russian by birth and inheriting all typical for Russian masochism I sometime visit the High Efficiency Speakers Asylum, laughing me sick tail off. Between the fresks in there patting each other and the mercantile cretins who pose themselv...

Yes, I know, Antonio, thanks. There are a lot of IC-based phonostages out there. I have no technical reasons to say that they should be bad but unfortunately they sound kind of “identically bad”. You see no one make them to sound in a “tailored”, def...

Paul,
As far as I know the Expressive Technologies have only tow models: the regular transformers and toroidal transformers. The toroidal version (SU-2) is not available publicly which left that whatever the Expressive magnetic available out there i...

Nowadays, during the week of Shostakovich’s anniversary of 100th birthday, it has been a lot of Shostakovich’s music played here in there. With all my “issues” with Mahlerism-Shostakovich I still listen their music, what whatever reasons…. Today ther...

Jim, returning back to the subject of tube testing….
I do not know if you have seen my most recent obsession; the idea of driving my Macondo with 1.8W of a single 6E5P:

[quote user="cat"]Will your tracer be able to pump 250-300mA at 230V? Will it be able to supple up to 100-110V of bias?[/quote]Not quite. I designed it for preamp tubes. But then I realized I could push it to cover a lot of the more popul...

Interesting that Estonians, the very much as Latvians and Latvanians, although they are located geographically right among the Slaves have absolutely none-Slav music. I mean listening thier music, even juts a few accords, instantly sends a mess...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]You may be right. It would perhaps be worthwhile to look into "better" transformers but I am not sure that an advantage can be found over just going RCA to XLR adaptor into the balanced inputs and thereby bypassing the...
