I received a comment form people who reportedly well-familiar with using the high-frequency high gain tubes. They suggested me that the resistor between screen and grid (R23) might be eliminated and that would bring some benefits. It very much might ...

[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 ...

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...

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...

[quote user="Paul S"] The truth is that if most of the seekers at this site knew what they were really in for by "copying Romy", then they would be wise to give up now.[/quote]
Well this is part of a bigger subject. I have a written and extend...

Here is the general specification for the parts that I used. The selection of the parts implies some liberty of course. It will be your amp after all, not mine - do whatever you wish. In some case when I feel that requirement is critical I will stres...
|
[quote user="cv"]...yes, I remember. I wonder if it's due to the large (and varying with signal) capacitance of the 6C33 input interacting with the small coupling cap. Hopefully this will be less of an issue with the 6e5p/6p.[/quote]Chris,
It is cer...

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...

user="anthony"]Hi Romy,
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...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Why not more semi-active speakers with high-sensitivity mid/treble and transistor-powered bass? [/quote]… and it is very important do not overlook this difference. Multiamping is fine but is it severely suffer in case of different...

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...

But here it is. I made this monoblock fit into less than a square foot. It is tight. I use Hammond iron throughout. Their stuff usually works pretty good for power supplies. I have some photos at my blog. [img]http...

[quote user="nl"] Gordon Rankin of Wavelength Audio did a series of one-stage DHTs with a step-up transformer input about ten years ago. I think they were called the Mercury series. By all accounts, they sounded good, but of course had limited gain, ...

I got a forwarded email today containing the Lamm Industry’s release notes about their new SET amplifiers.
http://www.GoodSoundClub.com/PDF/LammML3.pdf The good thing in this is that Vladimir is still Vladimir and he did changed since the Rich ...

.. and therefore I do not know how serious to take you.As far as I know as now there are no people who have built Melquiades. I know that up to now about 5 attempts to do it but no one finished it yet up to the point that might report result. Dima is...

[quote user="Paul S"] I really would not know where to start with most of the crap out there, since most commercial SS sounds like it makes "music" by inhaling it. But I've heard "acceptable" units from those listed, albeit in some poor environ...

Ok, I have both channels up and running and it looks like it is almost it. It left only re-measure everything , properly calibrate and tune up the port. So, how is it?
The project is success, it sound very pleasant and not anion for non-critical lig...

Well, I spent today a number of hours trying to advance my observations regarding abilities of the one-stage Melquiades. It was quite interesting. Thankfully the electivity today was way better during the second part of day. I loaded the 6E6P heavier...

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...

Anthony and Romy, thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. I want to take on this project as a learning experience both in terms of simply building an amplifier from a schematic and for my edification on sound reproduction.
I’m starti...

Well, any tube might be full range, the question about implementation,
power and objectives. I do not know what specifically this fellow does and what
he wants to drive with it. My experiments with single-stage 6e5p were not so
promising. He has d...

The new 6-Channal Milq is up and running, I did manage to calibrate everything in the Macondo’s left channel and was listening it for a while. I might report somehow a controversial result. The MF drive with a single stage is incontestable king – it ...

If one dht is good, two must be better?
I don't know. Some people like combining 6C45 etc with DHT, supposedly mixing the appealing qualities of each. Other people find that using a 6C45 (or other high-gm tube) with a 300B just makes a 300B sound...

As I promised, I am informing about the fate of the Baby Melquiades project. The Baby Melquiades was armed for few days with new 60H transformer. The result was not positive. It sounded OK but it was not even close to the Melquiades sound. I wa...

[quote user="N-set"]Risking that the topic has already been discussed and that I postin a wrong category (Romy feel free to (re)move this post:Is there any sense in trying 6C33 at higher volatges and lower currents?More precisely, I've been wondering...

[quote user="be"]Could you tell a bit about how does this:
"I end up with 360V on B+, 15K plate load, grounded cathode, 160V on plate and -3.5V on grid via a series battery."

I did the following. ...

I have been contemplating for a week if I need to drain the power caps in my new revision of my power amp. The benefits to live the voltage in there is the cap continue formatting what the amp of off and it minimize the need to break-in or to train t...
