That was the 4 way system designed by John Sheerin using GOTO drivers on my request. The tweeter is GOTO 160 with S3000 horn xover at 5kHz. The high mid is GOTO SG370DX with S600 horn xover at 1kHz-5kHz. The low mid is GOTO 505TT with S150 hor...

[quote user="dazzdax"] Sakuma's idiosyncratic and esoteric way of thinking (he believes for example that tubes have a "soul") is not to everyone's liking. He is projecting his mind into a sort of tone control. At least for him this tone control bring...

Hi Romy: I did not find any computer-based HD Radio receivers. The following link to HD Radio receiver Manufacturers does not seem to list any IT firms: http://www.ibiquity.com/manufacturers/receiver_manufacturers So, I spent some time researching H...

Doug, it is a lot of tuner went over your hand. I wonder what drove you to do so. Was any specific quality of sound that you were looking and the tuner that you own did not serve you?

[quote user="Thorsten"]If you do, do seek out old Air dielectric AM tuning Capacitors. You only need 110pF & 330pF, both can be found suitably. Once you tuned the RIAA to perfection simply superglue the shaft in.... I used to use that trick in pr...

Romy, Selling the heavy stuff would be smart... Wait a minute; its all heavy. The ULF modules would be fairly easy to recreate; in any case, I want to redo the enclosures using different materials, so this part of it makes sense to me. I'm not ent...

The reason for posting is in a way relatively simple, some of us got the impression a few years ago, that it is not sufficient to be willing to pay any price to get a real superior unit. No matter what we will pay, in a way any commercial constructio...

Quick reply. Would the ultimate turntable also take into account mis-centred records like the Nakamichi TX-1000?Remember it had a sensor arm that rose up out of the chassis to read how far 'out' the centre of the record was.I had one...nice to watch....

What you guys are missing is a grand scale of the concept. You are talking about voltages, implementation, electric chairs and the rest of irrelevant crap but I am talking about the pure inspiration from the concept. No one runs to solder anything. I...

There was a conversation about the Melquiades meters in past:

However, I have a concern about what you do. You are trying to come up with chassis or an idea of better parts for Milq but you have no...

Bill, when you were at my place I use two PP2000 running together as at that time I did not discover the effect. I was running my MF at -2dB and my tweeter at -1.5dB. As now I use one unit and I return back my MF and HF channels to the level as they ...

Thanks, LBJ
It is useful. I had also an idea to have a port mounted on removable plate in order to have the port side changed. I also, very much inclined for the yellow version, even my reasons are very none objective and I based my superstitions on...

Was talking with various audio people about the 6C33C I was amazed that people are so clueless about this tube. The people are so filled with some foolish prejudges and faulty notions about 6C33C that I deseeded to put together a brief “6C33C user ma...

Jim,
I do not know if you still fighting with 7788 noise but let me tell you something: those Allnic shock-absorbing tube socket adapters are insultingly affective. I act lay made some measurements and I was VERY surprised how much the Absorb-GEL ea...

Amir, Romy was actually very specific about why he was critical of Melquiades/Macondo. Even in old posting, he made a point of mentioning that he very much knew what weaknesses he had. To be honest, I believe that his real motivations for change are ...

Hi N-Set, I am three quarters of the way through assembling the first power supply to power-up stage so I have not tested the "singing" as yet. It is something that I have thought a lot about. First and foremost I wanted a steel skin around the pow...

Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3
What is important is to undusted that my view less targets the Lamm ML3 but rather it targets the ML3 as a representative of entire class of amplifiers. When I to...

After eons of construction, I've finally completed my version of the 801A premap, based on Ale Moglia /Bartola Valves design with his Gyrator anode loads, SiC bias and Rod Coleman filament supplies. 6 inputs, switched by an Elma switch and Dave S...

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.

It looks like a versatile DAC, reasonably priced. There is not information about architecture, I am sure it be coming. Goggling the DAC202 bring ...

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...

I got today my first pair of output transformers for the single-stage Melquiades. They are 40ma, 5H, 42R primary, 15:1, Amorphous, with remapable secondaries made by Netherlandian Pieter Treurniet. I did not put it in use and heard them – proba...

I like to read such "reviews", I read them for 17 years now and it impresses me really, that in combination with the "perfect medium" a sonic revolution is fact. Monthly. When it is true, digital reproduction is probably now 34 time...
