[quote user="Paul S"]So this amp would not have to deal with a crossover? One R and one L in the signal path, it looks like a headphone amp, maybe a dream circuit for a light piston, HF only, given no cap/coil load at the [ribbon] driver. [/quo...

I am very much do not like the current state of my mind about the single-stage Milq. Let me to explain….
In 2001-2002 I spend some time trying to assess the sonic influence of PS to sound. After making numerous tests and prototypes I concluded that ...

I tried the driver and generally I do like it’s sound a lot. It more sophisticated then Linaeum, it is more noble tonally and alike the Linaeum is seamlessly melts with Vitavox S2. In fact I am developing recently a theorem according to which a compr...

Everything is possible. Although I believe that my personal experiences are universal experience and common to all people but I hope you not truly believe that I subscribe this is my own statement. Perception is reality and we certainly understan...

This is an interesting subject that fascinates me recently. I have
a listening room with pretty good playback custom-build for it. All together it
produces a fine result and perfectly complies with general objectives of
high-end audio. For a last ...

[quote user="Paul
S"] Am I the only one who wonders about parking the amps on the woofers? [/quote]
From the point of view of a methodological purity indeed the location of a vacuum
tube amplifier atop of midbass section does not make any sense. B...

[quote user="RF at Ona"] Romy,I might have overlooked something on your site but I understand that your ULF amp is driven directly by the preamp line stage. If that is the case, you may want to consider an old technique for integrating subwoofers...

[quote user="anthony"]In the 6 Channel Version of Super Melquiades
thread at post #89 you mention trouble you
were having with some NC relays that you were using to disconnect some power
supply bleeder resistors when the amp was turned on. When t...

Dear Romy,
I have been reading the threads on GoodSoundClub about your journey with development of the Melquiades and Super Melquiades amplifiers. They are very interesting to me. I am pleased that your purpose was to produce a particula...

One more thing that I would like to point out in context of the recent Marc Mickelson’s review. Marc wrote:
“The Atma-Sphere amps are certainly more powerful than the ML3 Signatures, but not noticeably so unless you clip the Lamm amps. “
Here is wh...

Something had changed very positively with multi-amping. I am not quite sure if it is because the full multi-amping of the specific of the implementation but it is what it is. The entire dynamic relationship between volume of a given tone and the ton...

After 13 year of using of
my active Placette my preamp now is undergoing a modification. My knew listening
room is rather on larger side (acoustically) and I am driving the whole system from
super Milq, no help of SS amplification at the lower kne...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] For a casual observer it might appear that I am constantly fought with my ULF, finding and loosing better and worse configurations. It might be so but I have a very strong sense of objective of what I would like to ac...

[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...

I have so much fun today. I sent the whole kids with their nanny
and mom to a Boston children museum along with ants and with grandparents and deeded
to stay home to work on my listening room. Since I did not have good sound

I was telling somewhere that in case you have built Super
Milq then you need to label everything. My Milq has test point at plates of the
first tube, the bias and plates of second tube. It means 3 test points per channel,
time 6 channels it makes ...

Since I know about a few ongoing attempts out there by different people to build Melquiades I would like to share with some of my observations regarding corrections, simplification and possible modifications of Melquiades amplifier.
Obviously you ha...

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...

I was searching for an answer why squire wave is so screwed and I was advised by the site’s visitors that it is due to HF restriction of my channel. My HF response does look too low to me – the 23kHz; with all my ultra low capacitance magnetic I ...

user="anthony"]I have secured a couple of pair of YO186 and some

capabilities of the tube ...

Audio people frequently go astray in their thinking and actions and this creates a good breeding ground for all possible audio sale opportunists. I would like to explore one moment that has not a lot of public attention and to look at the moment slig...

I have the correct answer as now as my greatest fear that I will have my Remedies

But I
am curious (wary) about what you mean by the “one-sided” results of using a DHT

What I meant is that practically no one uses "a good DHT...

Yesterday I have a great listening time. I sent Amy with twins
to her parents. I put Thomas to sleep in his room and as he woke up I set him
to watch his Caillou for hours and I went to my listening room to have nice quality
time with my playback....

I think I discovered something news that I never heard of. Again I do a lot of listening and lot of thinking, and while I'm experimenting with different operation parameter of my mid-bass I semi accidental caught one configuration that make...
