[quote user="floobydust"] Some very good points here... if I downloaded the correct schematic from your site for the 6-channel Melq amp (also has the term DSET in the title) then you have created a 6-channel SET amp with built-in crossover points. Yo...

Those damn Russkies always threw surprises. Using in Melq the Russian-made tubes, probably very few the most remarkable tubes they ever made, the life defiantly threw some hi-fi astonishments.
The people who follow my saga with Melq know that I do n...

Unquestionably to me, piano concertos are the very much The Concertos for an instrument and orchestras. My second favorite is Cello Concertos. The violin concertos are popular and they great but I frequently find that they might be annoying, particul...

[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...

Yes, Guy, thanks. The images are making waves for day among Russian audio sites. Unfortunately in Russia expensive playback is a part of “successful mad room décor” and prominent Russian love to pose wearing ridiculously expensive watches, behind the...

Well written article, I think, and he is good enough to share right away that he is a "vintage" guy, and an AN guy, which helps me contextualize his observations, even though he does not reveal the nature of the $$$$$$ "ultimate horn speakers" (...

Very interesting point about Gergiev. I do not dispute it. I just know that at present time some of the work released by him is very pleasing to me. That does not limit me to only listening to what Gergiev is doing. For example...

Myaskovsky always said that his music was grounded in the tradition of Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff, and of course, Tchaikovsky, so that is where the beauty and lyrical portions of his music derived from. But he was part of the avant-garde movement ...

YES! Now who wouldwant to argue, or even pretend to argue about that?!You will of course realise that a lot of audio interested people have had their 'learning path' as you have had your 'learning path'. This implies if playback improvements where re...

Lamm uses Russian ceramic sockets, at least use to use them 10 yeas back. What he uses not I have no idea. The material of sockets is not as important – the profile of contact is the key. Unfortunately Russian sockets use triangular contact that make...

[quote user="Paul S"]Yes, Bud, I agree that the most common problem for the full-tilt regenerators is that they begin to exhibit various problems in direct proportion to current demands. And this seems to be true even when they are used "below capac...

The name of the post I took from the 32th chapter of M. Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, so from there will be the epigraph for this post:

This gentleman's set-up makes me think very much of the one I have in mind for my new room in due course. Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabu...
