[quote user="hagtech"]Ah, think of it this way. Imagine floating the input to your ET step-ups. Don't ground it. Let the primary and phono cartridge float. This is a similar situation but far far more sensitive. It's a m...

Paul,
I re-mapped your post to your older thread; I hope you do not mind…
Anyhow, I find absolutely nothing in the older ML2’ sound related to L1/L2 “X-Factor”. As I suggested in the second post of the flowing thread:

With the project of the 6-chennal Super Melquiades is about to hit its final stage I might to review my summarizing observations. The 6-chennals Macondo is driven by 6-chennals dedicated DSET Melquiades, that looks like properly orgies for the job. T...

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...

The Super Melquiades Amplifier is essentially the 3 parallel running Melquiades amplifiers optimized for driving my Macondo Acoustic System, with line-level or inner-stage filters. This SET uses a full 6C33C at LF output and ½ of 6C33C for HF and MF ...

As I previously told to manage six channels built around Russian tubes, and patricianly as different as 6C33C, is a pain in ass. Today, carefully examining my log file that I keep about the performance of each tube in the amp, in addition to everythi...

It is completely irrelevant how frequently an amp switched off and on if a soft start is made properly. A few years ago my friend and I, having the 6C33C based Lamms ML2 (where I do not like how the soft was working) , noted that we both change the o...

My project to add 3 one-stages channels to Super Melquiades look like progressing (it means I will have the new 15,5:1output transformers very soon) and in context of upcoming changes and, after long consideration and some tests, I desire...

Why can't you just stack them inserting new horn in between midbas and midhorn and keeping your original arrangement? Since your midbass sits on the floor, the tweeter still should be on resonable hight.I would transform your full range Melquiades fo...

It was an audio eventful year and I have experimented and discovered many fascinating things. Here is a brief summary of the 2007 audio-events and a short look what my audio happening will might take please in 2008.
1) In the very ...

I have seen it cars and have seen in electronics but I never seen it as dramatic as in the Super Melquiades. I am talking about the ability of amplifiers to be unbroke-in if they are not being used.
I have seen some amplifiers the after a couple mon...

Running the fully closed Super Milq for a few days I noted some amassing qualities that took the HF performance of Super Melquiades even further then Melquiades. This quality consists of a complete absent of any king of glitz and very atypical for th...

I was slowing mingling the conversion of the power supplied of my second Super Milq from 3 channels into 6 channels and I ask myself: is anything in that amp is made in the way that would allow me to close it up and never review it. Sure if I move in...

Hm, I do not know men, but it des not work. Over the last few years I have tried the ordinal metal diaphragm 4 or 5 times and not with the Super Melquiades it is the most successful try but I still feel than it is not the sound that I would like to g...

I would like to share my observations about public perception of Melquiades - The Realty Reconstructions Amplifier.
Melquiades, or as I affectedly-abridgedly call it “the Melq” was released to pubic exactly a year ago:

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I kind of like that APS stay behind of their regenerator and that they are trying investigate what went wrong. Who knows, perhaps when the APS unit arrive back to me (after some changes in the unit state) it will be effecti...

First major audio observation that I made is that my Super Melquiades should be revised. After a year and a half of using the amp I came across to some conclusions that outlined the prospective changes in my DSET.

Thanks very much for your prompt, courteous and informative reply!My thought about the crossover design for the EdgarHorn was due to a number of things:1. This particular EdgarHorn is being sold to make way for a Cain & Cain speaker which i...

I was contemplating the 6 Channel Super Melquiades conversion – it will quite a revision – and I am slowly inclining to make it not 6 Channel but 7 channels…Anyhow, the post will not be about the needs of extra 7th channel but rather about one of the...

To whoever loony people who still observe me battle with Vitavox S2 driver I would like to inform abbot my latest events.
Believe me or not but with the Super Melquiades dedicated HF channel I find the internal courage to try the older diaphragms. ...

Romy,
Thanks for the hints.
I was anticipating the limitations imposed by of a pair of SET amps such as the ML2s driving such a system (4 or 5 drivers per side, down to 40Hz), but was planning to accept those limitations for the moment... takin...

Well, I was thinking about that “Resonating Oops” for a while. I made quite a number of experiments. I some cases I was able to get interesting results but the “Resonating Oops” is very illusive. I do know that many readers of my site have wrong perc...
