[quote user="KOTriode"] On dynamic, the 6C33C tube showed its ability to go deep in the bass on Ray Brown trio recording of Soular Energy which is excellent for a 15W SE , the 845 amp can do better, but not by much, but probably because of its 25W ou...

.. 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...

It is interesting: I am running now Zarathustra amp with my woofer towers, line-level crossed at 90Hz with fist order. Everything is very fine bass-wise, with very minute touch of dominating smoothness. To my surprise the typical upper-bass har...

Hi Romy,
I just want to add my experience I had last year with a transformer based (actually it was an autoformer based) "passive" preamp. I thought that this could be the final solution in my preamp quest. Alas, it was not the case.&nbs...

Well, it is always difficult to me to deal with audio people because any expressing any abstract notion in front of them those enslaved people perceived as a preamble to some kind of “deliverable good” and the sick audiophile imagination has already ...

[quote user="Cosmos"] Anyway, as the description on our site on second paragraph says, the third 6C33 located at the back, is used as the pass element of the regulator (controlled by solid state circuitry) providing 220V with 100uV of random noise &a...

Well, as a prototype it might work but as the Milq sound
that I was implied the amp with no gas tubes in bias supply is not good in my
view. I never was satisfied the way how a regular 6E5P driver 6C33C. To me it
was very perfunctory and much unso...

Yes yes yes .... Lamm Industries is a BUSINESS... This is abundantly clear whenever I order tubes from them!
But the most desirable of Lamm's past creations are not the kind of things born solely of a desire to make money.
I understand Lamm's ...

The reader who read my comments above about Lamm’s new ML3 amplifiers might have wrong impression where I’m coming from. I have a general tendency to be skeptical (because the experiences) when I exposed to audio but in case of ML3 there is much deep...

[quote user="Paul S"]Now I am wondering: If we go to such trouble to have transformers wound for our particular applications, maybe we could just as well be winding our narrow band voice coils and welding them to our/their own output tubes.[/qu...

[quote user="Antonio J."] … looking like the Kemp's unit. But that's provided the input electricity is still under 5% of distortion. They also state that that performance is under linear load, so it might be possible that using chokes or trannies loa...

Jessie,
A few hints. If you are moving from Parsifal/Encore and LammM1.1 world into the world of SETs and Horn then do not be in hurry to commit yourself and do not create to yourself artificial addictions.
When I talk about artificial addictions I...

Frankly speaking I kind of thankfully drifting away from observing what is going on in the industry and particularly in amplifiers. Since 1998-99 I was using explicitly Lamm amplifiers that were heads and shoulder more interesting then anything else ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Upper Bass : Frequency range between 100 and 500Hz – Driver loaded into a 120Hz straight horn, driven by DSET dedicated channel. Mid Bass : Frequency range between 40 and 100Hz – Driver loaded into a 45Hz straight hor...

[quote user="morricab"] You are also right that to get everything you want from an output transformer requires a VERY expensive construction and top materials. However; even an expensive transformer is no guarantee of success. [/quote]

[quote user="Paul S"]All the criticism notwithstanding, Lamm is clearly one of the most interesting amp builders out there, and IMO he is someone worth watching… [/quote]

Verity Audio – Montsalvat speakers.…The Monsalvat require 3 pairs of

Ok, Mike. From DSET
perspective it is a fooli...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] I would never just jump in and attempt to build the Melq (or any other amp) without months of studying the design … [/quote]
Good motivations. To simplify everything: the Melquiades was at attempt to make two stages, capac...

Thanks, floobydust.
There are a lot of interesting points in you post to consider. What speaker you drive with your 2A3? If they are relatively high sensitively (like compression drivers) then did you consider going with a single stage? I think I ha...

[quote user="Paul S"]Anyone ever tried the "pinless" tubes that have long-ish wires in place of the usual pins?
A Moscovite I ran across has Russian mil-spec 6AK5 "equivalents" that have pinched glass and the wires instead of pins. Oddly, Lam...

It is sucks to live with Russians Tubes. It is particular sucks to live with 6C33C. They are all deferent when they new, they age very ungracefully and differently.

Jessie-There are the current japanese teflon sockets, and vintage american manufactured sockets - I think either should be fine. The pin springs on the OEM pair I replaced had no grip or spring characteristics. When the pin holders are bent, they ...
