Hi Romy,On my to-do list is a single ended version of the F5... essentially just the upper or lower half of the schematic, with a load resistor to opposite power rail (or perhaps a low DCR SE transformer) replacing the complementary portion.Alas it's...

Up to the first fold the horn is somewhat conical as seen in post #1 picture.This picture shows the exit w/ additional angle wall (making for "corner" loading).This has a greater (uncalculated) flare something like a compound CD horn.Resonant F unkno...

[quote user="anthony"]Do you still use
the fuse shown in the MF channel schematic linked above (not the 6 Channel
schematic)? [/quote]
This find that this fast blow 100mA in B+ supply
of output channel is a good idea regardless. In a minor way...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anthony, I think you take the right this in a wrong way.
Sure the quality of the coupling caps is important but you truly shall not be worry
about it. Make the amp, get comfortable with it and then change the damn cap.

Hi Romy,I am designing the power supply chassis for the DSET at the moment and hope that you can remember some things about how you managed the grounding.All power supply components up to but not including the filter caps for each power supply will b...

[quote user="anthony"]Do you have a
“final version” of the schematic anywhere? [/quote] I think that the one you
have might be recognized as final. The Rev2 was without DHT in MF and Rev3 was
with it. I did not do anything else with the amp af...

I'm thinking about trying to put together a Melquiades amplifier for myself. I printed out a copy of the schematic (thanks for sharing). I have a simple early question. Both the 12.6 and 6.3V windings for the filaments are shown as being center taped...

Hi Romy,What a busy year just gone! Finding enough time to just sit down and get the DSET's going has been impossible, but I have time now and have started the process.At the moment I am introducing some high voltage to the first amplifier chassis, ...

[quote user="hoan da ox"]Hello to all, After following the comments of Romy for some time (have learned a lot, thank you), I would like to ask a question on this subject.This circuit is built with resistors, diodes and capacitors. Could someone elabo...

So, my two problems have been fixed, I think.First was the issue with the 6e6p for the HF Channel not being able to draw enough current. I checked the bias and it was fine and the potentiometer allowed plenty of adjustment so I changed nothing in t...

Thanks for your help Romy. Have a look at this (barely legible) sketch so we have a common reference:This is Channel B First Stage bias circuit. All is identical to your published schematic apart from R9 which I had to increase to get the other sta...

Domidaw seems to be saying he has only one channel almost working, this one with the burning resistor. I don't think he said he has one (other) channel working correctly. If he is really dropping 240 - 196 = 44V across 50 ohms, then he has 44/50 = 0....

I'm working on a project that may be of interest to others, and thought posting to this old thread was a better way than beginning a new post.I use speaker level passive crossovers, between multi-amps (not DSET) and drivers. My desire is to move the...

I finally added a -15 dB voltage divider to my ML2s last week to fix the noise problem from my L1 preamp - Why did I wait so long?!!The result is absolute dead silence. Nothing. Nada. It is almost impossible to tell if the system is powered on, ev...

After planning out the exit strategy for my DSP crossover, I am resuming my first Single Ended Pentode 307a tube amp project, the one mentioned earlier. I'd like to approach this with a certain degree of understanding so I have re-read carefully all ...

[quote user="decoud"]Yes, it is built according to the schematic, but by someone else, from whom I have only just received it. The opt is custom-made nanocrystalline amorphous core, gapped at 300mA and running 200V/240mA. [/quote]Very good. The 200V/...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Why do you think I bout a 1000 of them and closed to the rest of my life my interest in driver tubes?Still, the 6E5P should not be measured as a driver but heard as a driver – the beauty in this tube is in its sound.I do no...

[/quote] I received a link with description how the YO186 tube that drives my MF was used by Russians. In 30s and 40s it was used in portable film projectors PU-12 and PU-13. Below is the schematic of the PU-13 low frequ...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy,I looked at your Melq schematic : http://www.goodsoundclub.com/PDF/Melquiades_SET.pdf regarding the 6E5P bias. Would it be simpler to use two alkaline battery in place of R5 to provide 3V , or 3 Rechargeable for 3.6V ...

[quote user="KOTriode"]Ok, I just read your "Melquides Remote biasing". This technic can not be duplicate in my amp due to DC coupling, the C3G (I dont use 6E5P) driver stage basically adjust the 6C33C current in the output stage. Just for curiosity,...

[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...

Hi
I’m planning to build the Melquiades. Owning something that is better then a Lamm is definitely something for me.
Having 220V 50Hz. What changes are necessary in schematic?
Bigger PSU caps, inductors?...
|

N-set, actually, I have seen a stacked-L schematic like you posted, with stacked caps layered over and R at earth for the tank, and I am on record as saying it is very elegant. So, sorry to be such a skeptic, but I learned a long time ago that the o...

[quote user="floobydust"] As for the Wizard's cap... I don't want one... I'm not making magic or doing anything paranormal. When I design a circuit, I void everything in my mind and start clean sheet... plate curve charts come first... selecting comp...

I do not exactly comfortable with oxric’s preoccupation with “parts”. Yes, there are some amps that invest a lot of attention into parts quality – the silver winding in Kondo, oil caps in BAT, of silver foil caps in AN might be the examples. Melquiad...

Measet,Thank you very much for posting this extremely valuable information! It adds to the data base for the 5000. I will have to translate it to English using the Google translator. Now, if someone could locate and post the RY-5500 schematic, we’d a...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I used to work for a valve amp making company and we had a little 2 stage phono amp that sounded far better than the 834 with passive eq, no feedback etc. It also cost less than the EAR.I can send you the schematic if you w...
