[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The idea was very simple: to convert the C filter into RC filter, to employ the Silicon Carbide Schottky rectification diodes that showed themselves so nice in 6-ch Melquiades and to beef up the preamp with large bet...

[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...

One more thing that I would like to point out in context of the recent Marc Mickelson’s review. Marc wrote:
“The Atma-Sphere amps are certainly more powerful than the ML3 Signatures, but not noticeably so unless you clip the Lamm amps. “
Here is wh...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, they technically not Lpads but juts regular attenuators
even though they connected in “protective mode”. You can go with stabilized impedance
to maintain the high pass filter over the coupling capacitor to work prop...

This weekend a friend of mine visited me to listen my playback and there was a very illustrative occurrence. We listening my audio and everything was like it should be in the program. He was visiting my last time in 2002-2003, before the Macondo was ...

Something had changed very positively with multi-amping. I am not quite sure if it is because the full multi-amping of the specific of the implementation but it is what it is. The entire dynamic relationship between volume of a given tone and the ton...

[quote user="RF at Ona"] Romy,I might have overlooked something on your site but I understand that your ULF amp is driven directly by the preamp line stage. If that is the case, you may want to consider an old technique for integrating subwoofers...

Ah, you use those gorgeous VPI boxes to host transformers. No wonder it does not sound well, what did you see the anything from VPI sound well? Seriously, I do have those VPI boxes, I do not remember where they come from to me but they are too go...

[quote user="anthony"]In the 6 Channel Version of Super Melquiades
thread at post #89 you mention trouble you
were having with some NC relays that you were using to disconnect some power
supply bleeder resistors when the amp was turned on. When t...

user="anthony"]I am not sure how large to make the filter caps for
the DHT channel. At this stage I think I will start at 3000uF and perhaps
try altering it a little up or down once the system is stable. [/quote]
Hm, it is depends how s...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Scrolling down to the images of the Lamm ML2.2, I see something that intrigues me...
Four ML2.2s are used to bi-amp the Verity Audio speakers; I didn't know they could be daisy chained by using both the XLR and RC...

Dear Romy,
I have been reading the threads on GoodSoundClub about your journey with development of the Melquiades and Super Melquiades amplifiers. They are very interesting to me. I am pleased that your purpose was to produce a particula...

OK, this morning I tuned the playback and did some listing, trying to understand what was the problem. Sound was not just bad but it was very strange, it was almost as a mechanical replica of sound. I took my phase meter trying to set horns in ph...

Since I know about a few ongoing attempts out there by different people to build Melquiades I would like to share with some of my observations regarding corrections, simplification and possible modifications of Melquiades amplifier.
Obviously you ha...

I have so much fun today. I sent the whole kids with their nanny
and mom to a Boston children museum along with ants and with grandparents and deeded
to stay home to work on my listening room. Since I did not have good sound
before I did not parti...

Audio people frequently go astray in their thinking and actions and this creates a good breeding ground for all possible audio sale opportunists. I would like to explore one moment that has not a lot of public attention and to look at the moment slig...

I got a forwarded email today containing the Lamm Industry’s release notes about their new SET amplifiers.

Romy, thanks for taking the time to write a little about your history with Melquiades and diy. In some ways our stories are quite similar. My background is agriculture. My family breed cattle and grow crops and I am a large part in that ...

In this thread I would like to talk a bit about the practice in DSET driven multi-way horns configuration.
I have expressed my view that the architectural configuration that Macondo and Super Melquiades end up to be I find is the most interest...

[quote user="drdna"] I know all the compromises involved with the EdgarHorns, I have heard them when I visited Bruce Edgar in Gardena, and they were pretty good compared to most of what is out there. I realized that I would likely never be able...

Here is the general specification for the parts that I used. The selection of the parts implies some liberty of course. It will be your amp after all, not mine - do whatever you wish. In some case when I feel that requirement is critical I will stres...

I was searching for an answer why squire wave is so screwed and I was advised by the site’s visitors that it is due to HF restriction of my channel. My HF response does look too low to me – the 23kHz; with all my ultra low capacitance magnetic I ...

It looks like the Europeans have for themselves some kind of audio festival on regular base.

I am not sure what it is, how it organized, who runs it and who participate it. My initial feeling that ...
