Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: Single-stage Melquiades vs. DHT amps in Melquiades Amplifier  397 Replies 
Ok, I do not know what it was: was it DHT, was it 300B, was it some other specifics of this given amp or whatever… but those two aspects that I named: intentional density of colors and randomness of pace are something that I would like to exercise in...

I need to say that I miss my Macondo sound, not the sound itself but an ability to push a button and have predictably good sound. However, from the place where I'm staying now, I feel that to have just Macondo result is not enough for me. I would ...

The only issues that I have ever had were putting the piano in a place where the large smooth surfaces did not cause assymmetric reflections that messed with the stereo presentation. The damper pedal on a piano is "on" when not d...

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

[quote user="morricab"] I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone.  The reason why is this:  They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resona...

I am on record as not liking back loaded horns:to be effective at bass frequencies, a BLH needs to be as long as a FLH would be; I've yet to see a BLH, with the possible exception of the Tannoy Westminster, that actually has a long enough horn ...

Vincin, thank you for appreciation of my work.  A few comments and thoughts about the direction you went.   I do think that to compare 300B with your version of Milq is not proper way to demonstrate or to learn anything about sound, particularly ...
