Romy, Now you mention the issues here, I am thinking about what the differences in quality might be due to. I notice that you haven't explicitly said which is better, super or regular... so think of this just as brainstorming as to why things are... ...

Romy,
Thanks for the updated image of the Super Melquiades.
For the past 10 days I have had to temporarily stop production of the horns and put off researching components for the amps; all this is due to my moving to a new apartment sooner than...

It, looks like the problem with the steel chassis picking up stay magnetic fields from my Super Milq’s power supply is about to be gone. With the introduction of the 3 extra single-stage channels I needed more current for 6.3V filaments and slightly ...
|
|
Further looking at where I would like to take the new 6-chennal version of the Super Milq I am contemplating a new revision of my bass channel output transformer. Currently I have Jack Elliano’s made 450mA, large, single section LF transformer that b...

This idea keeps to fascinate me.

and I really would like to try and to see what might happen. I’ have decided of move this task on my levels of priorities as something that I wo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The HF channel of the Super Melquiades should be revised. Something is wrong in there and it does not sound as I would like to. It mostly relates to imp...

My project to add 3 one-stages channels to Super Melquiades look like progressing (it means I will have the new 15,5:1output transformers very soon) and in context of upcoming changes and, after long consideration and some tests, I desire...

The Super Melquiades Amplifier is essentially the 3 parallel running Melquiades amplifiers optimized for driving my Macondo Acoustic System, with line-level or inner-stage filters. This SET uses a full 6C33C at LF output and ½ of 6C33C for HF and MF ...

Loudspeakers. For whomever who follows my dairies on this site and whoever has any real understanding what makes a horn-loaded loudspeaker to sound good it is know that Macondo Acoustic System is not juts the result of my DIY efforts or the John Hasq...

BTW, Jessie, this morning I opened a Super Melquiades and made some changes in plate current measurements. While I did it I took a shot of the Super Melq inside. The former image was made juts when I finished the amp. The current shot is actual stage...

I was replacing transformers in the Super Milq HF channels and while I was doing it I decided to perform a minor maintenance on the amp. One of the amp’s fans developed a “flat” in it bearing and created a very minor “step”. I order a replaceme...
|
|
Those all things take too much space and the new amp for the “fundamental channel” does not really help the situation. I decided to convert the Super Melquiades into something that would have smaller footprint and position the control amplifier unit ...
|
|
Romy, how do I get permission to repeat original Melquiades?...
|
|
Chris, at this point it is hard to say anything defiantly. Subjectively it sounds like the Super Milq has slightly less HF extension and transient then the regular Milq, although the output transformer of the HF channel of Super Milq runs higher and ...
|
|
Allo,Well, the divider may certainly be responsible for some softening of transients - in particualr, what values are you using there?Also, the received wisdom is that silver micas are created far from equal; no experience with them myself but I beli...
|
|
It hard at this point to sat anything defiantly about the Super Melquiades sound. Positively to derive the speakers directly from amp with no speaker-level crossover does provide multiple and multiple benefits. So, Even if to subtract all other “diff...
|
|
It is kind of pleasant and insulting at the same time. Insulting because I thought I know the Super Melquiades better then anyone else or at least was able to say about the Super Milq Sound whatever might be said. :-)
However, today my ego was sever...

I do not know why people go into low-sensitive loudspeaker and they go crazy in order push the last drop out of the class A2 operation. From a different perspective the Macondo’s woofer towers with 97.5dB sensitivity are low low-sensitive loudspeaker...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I kind of like that APS stay behind of their regenerator and that they are trying investigate what went wrong. Who knows, perhaps when the APS unit arrive back to me (after some changes in the unit state) it will be effecti...

[quote user="Paul S"] The "calm HF" effect is something I have long sought but seldom experienced from repro, and I have blamed the amps as much as the ribbons. Mere HF extension is not enough. Hard to say whether the amp or the rib...

I am always curious about those silly lines.The 230V 165mA point for the LF sections does not look so bad to me... maybe a bit of expansion effect, which could be good for counteracting some evil within the LF drivers.If I understand right,...

Sine I informed public about Melquiades amplifiers I receive many emails from people asking me about the operation points of 6C33C. For whatever reasons people mistakably took me for some kind of 6C33C guru, which is am not. Moreover I could be hardl...

I really do not what is gong on there and why. Thorsten's comment that line-level crossovers do not act like speakers’ level crossover confirms what I feel and what some other people suggested me. Yes, the reactance of the crossover component, the in...
