Wavac Audio Lab announced a new amplifier: MD-805MK-II.
http://www.wavac-audio.jp/md805mk2_e.shtml
The amp uses the same idea that I pitched with my “Stands for Super Melquiades” idea – 2 floors with small footprint. The way how ...

Splitting the Lamm ML3 thread: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=3595
There are some people who worship direct-heated tubes and attribute to them some ventures (like absent of higher harmonics and a special micro-fineness). The...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]However,
if I did it again then I would not do it in context of multi-channel amplifier
but rather I would make a maket amplifier able would test my ideas with it. [/quote]While I do like the idea of experimenting with MF...

Well, Jim, it is time to say “Oops!” I told to myself do not make any posts early morning unit I eat a bagel but this mooring I disobeyed the rule. Anyhow, I do not know how I come up with 28.5V RMS. Defiantly it was peak-to-peak on the scope and I r...

[quote user="Chirag"] Well..my first question would be regarding the application. The big Melq tube is already doing the bass towers...is it not enough current? [/quote]
Chirag, I’m not planning to use this power amp in my system. ...

Ok, this is probably the most important section as besides all positive changes that PP2000 does to sound it does this one, the one that I call “softness”, and the values of this “softness” have to properly understood and interpreted.
The “softness”...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In the 2008 I have a few immediate goals:
1) Finalize the 6-chennals version of Super Melquiades and integrate it with Macondo
2) Finalize the “End of Life" Phonostage:
3) ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, everything was fine and I might do into the sonic nuances of the PurePower unit. The PurePower drives a lot of switching nose from output. It has the filters but they help only partially. Adding capacitance to the PureP...

First of all: I have moved this thread into the Milq Forum…..
[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I'm going to try and build a Melquiades type amplifier (with some help from friends) following the advice given above to make it as simple as possible.&n...

I would like to overview the content of my thoughts on the subject. I feel that the first phase of my interest in single-stage Milq vs. DHT is over and I can make some observations.
The subject turned out to be more interesting and more changi...

Recently Macondo was altered and converted into… nope, not into a Super Macondo :-) but in a “Larger Macondo”. The Super Macondo it will be when I resolved how to implement time delays along with a low pass flirter at midbass horn, that would enable ...

I am looking at my posts at the forum and am trying to
figure out when the 6-ch Milq as made. I think it was during the late 2007 beginning
of 2008. Well, the Super
Melquiades then is 10-year-old then….
One
way or another I got my first screw ...

The Melquiades amplifiers practically dally demonstrate so much “interesting” behavior that it is not even funny. My relationship with this amp reminds me that bird for the Montaigne's “An Apologie Of Raymond Sebond”:
“But the tale of the plot is v...

It turned out that I made my Melquiadenisation with 6C33C. Not practically because it is good or bad tube. The choose of 6C33C was partially accidental: in the beginning I was trying to make an amp that would be able to work in multi-app configuratio...

Ok, it is a lot of information on my plate and I am trying to make sense of it. Below I will share my observations about the new Pure Power 3000+.
The first thing first. In the post I made a few days back:

[quote user="cv"] I'm enjoying this account of Melquiades upbringing. I must ask though: how are you sure that what you are hearing isn't on the recording? Not that I don't believe you, I just wonder if the stuff has been there all along and undiscov...

I am very much do not like the current state of my mind about the single-stage Milq. Let me to explain….
In 2001-2002 I spend some time trying to assess the sonic influence of PS to sound. After making numerous tests and prototypes I concluded that ...

I tried the driver and generally I do like it’s sound a lot. It more sophisticated then Linaeum, it is more noble tonally and alike the Linaeum is seamlessly melts with Vitavox S2. In fact I am developing recently a theorem according to which a compr...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I thought that the folks who are interesting where I am going with my Macondo should know that am still working with Vitavox S2[/quote]OK, I think now I’ve learned whatever I need to learn about this driver. In order to und...

[quote user="ml8"] If you think gas regulators make sound of 6E5P so nice, didn't you try putting gas regulator tube in the grid of the 6C33C, and why? [/quote]
Sure, I trued. It sounded very bad. I pull out of my butt any imaginable rational with e...

The played today a little with Vitavox S2 driver with electromagnet and made some measurements. Measuring the relative magnetic force (I use Hirst GM04) I found out that increase current up to 3A linearly increases the magnetic force in the gap...

[quote user="Gregm"] No-one is criticising the ML3 (amplification) product. We are discussing the concept and the applicability of such products, i.e. the ultimate limitation of an amplifier called upon to work from DC to daylight and, accordingly, d...

OK, the amp is running for the 6C41C for a few days and it looks like the tube should be burned-in sufficiently enough for now. Still I have to note that the sound of 6C41C was not changed since my initial listening of this tube.
Originally I drove ...

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.
The life with Super Melquiades, where I use 6x6C33C driving individual channe...

The value/type of the capacitor after the gas tube hugely affects sound. I made quite a number of experiments in past with those caps and I have no idea why it is so. Well, I hardly understand (and I did not see anyone who does) why the “gassed resis...

Again, I do not agree with all notion of Rubber sound that Haralanov seeded. I can not speak what was in the situation that “be” described and 400Hz crossover. I do have the 8” version of 25W driver (I think it is 21W) and my feeling that it sou...

After many hours and much efforts I have connected the new 6-channels Super Milq to my 6-channels Macondo, with omission of tweeters for now. I made some measurements and initial adjustments and then was trying to listen it briefly. I did not l...
