Over the course of the last year I have been gently harassing my transformers-savvy surrounding trying to evangelize them into amorphous core. They stubbornly and perhaps stupidly resist. Some of them not…
During the last few months I was tal...

[quote user="oxric"] As to why people are interested in the 16 ohms drivers, that is only true of some. The idea is that if the Vitavox S2s are being used, and a single amplifier to drive the different channels, it seems to make sense to go for 1...

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.
1) The phase inverters after...

Yes, Paul, I know this company. It is always slightly annoyed me that it is Chinese company as Chinese manufactures very rarely, if ever, do any audio products with extreme or demanding performing characteristics. They rather do inexpensive mass-mark...

Ok, here is the final frequency response for each Super Milq channel. The souse was Denon CD player that rolls off a little atop. I did not measure the tweeter as I have no tweeters transformer plugged in yet. All secondary in amp are grounded. The m...

Merlin, I wonder why you need more information if according to you: “the solution that has not been heard and is not intended for your ears”. You migration from sightless denial to desire of self-education is very… I would say fast but st...

Thanks, Chris.
Dima I discussed today many imaginable scenarios. Initially we thought drive a single 6C19P from MF channel of super Milq. But it has some negative consequences… Eventually we decided (it is not final decision but the final with 90% ...

The recent events in my playback made me to think about he new prospective duty of tweeters. Since the Super Melquiades was enlisted for duty the Vitavox S2 got it’s own dedicated amplifier channel and stopped to “see” the coil of upper bass driver. ...

I have to admit that although the Macondo “Water Drop Tweeter” sounds very good but I do not have that “shocking sound” that I got from the “Water Drop” during my initial introduction to it. I kind of always felt it and I thought that I get use t...

Romy:Again thanks for the response. With regard to the most important question, my choice would be to use the standard AM Amorphous C-Core transformers in the short term but the Direct Tube Drive in the long term. As I mentioned elsewhere, I was in t...

Another very interesting aspect of the Water Dropping of Macondo is a dramatization of silences and influence of LF decay. Macondo has no own noise and the Super Milqs are dead quiet. However, the perceptions of silence with the Water Drop tweeter an...

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:

I got home today, power up the payback and played some bootlegs of Australian festivals that Kostas Metaxas sent me another day. I paid attention that the sound was strange it was too hard atop. That was something new. I put in my player the CDs...

[quote user="haralanov"] For some unknown reasons, he later decided to change it with the sharp and artificial sounding fostex supertweeter. What might be his motivation? Logically appears the following question – is that Goto supertweeter so hor...

[quote user="haralanov"] Yes, the demonstration is the only way to know exactly what type of sound/music presentation you have in your room, I’m sure it will be very interesting and educational for me, but too bad you live on the other side of th...

[quote user="speedysteve"]Well, I think
it is horses for courses and the tapped horns are a bit of a different

rubbish that is coming out of tapped horns above say 100Hz - mine are sized to

Sine I finished the acoustic room treatment and the final setup of my playback in my new room I got good Sound. There are some minor aspects with which I will be working on – I know exactly what I need to do but they will be minor and incremental...

Well, I guess I have to pass some observations about the new Living Voice Vox Olympian.
I did not listen them, did not talk to the people who behind the Living Voice and all that I know about them are the Six Moans articles and a few threads ...

I made today some interesting experiment and for the first time during my “fundamentals channel saga” I get some stimulating and very result. I find a way to mount the “low frequencied S2 driver” on the speaker’s axe way above the Macondo’s tweeter. ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] One of the things that solicited me to try the APS unit was the assurance of the APS guy (Richard) that what I run ASP unit from internal battery + regeneration vs. the plugged in wall + regeneration ….I should hear no dif...

Before announcing Lavry complete failure against Bidat when Lavry was driven by a CD transport I have to make a very important comment: in my case the transport was not a regular transport but the CEC-TL0, a know son of a digital bitch.
I know quit...

I got it!
I realty have got it this time and it is exactly what I was craving for and shooting for. I converted both channels for 18db/octave on tweeter and recalibrated the whole Macondo, in a slightly different manner...

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...

[quote user="Wojtek"]I'd like to point out that Fostex 500 MKII is very much not sharp and artificial sounding. If anything it's an opposite -little too syrupy , soft and round so it blends with cone mid better than beryllium tweeter.[/quote]

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter....
It is hard to imagine not much I like this tweeter, in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF o...

Contemplating now how to organize biasing for 3 singe stages of my 6-chanls amp I was faced the dilemma: do I need to bias my tubes. The 6E5P/6E6P are Russian tubes and it means that are very different right from the boxes. The Milq, driver tubes, be...
