Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

Today I used the re-capped/improved K&K phonostage as a source and I drove the speakers first from 8 Ohm and then from 16 Ohm taps, and I got a very pleasant surprize...... .It certainly gave a clue as to why Romy would opt away from feedback in the Milq's.

is has absolutely nothing do with feedback. The ML2 uses tabs and moving from 4R to 8R, or from 8R to 16R you are juts more unloading the output tube. The more tube loaded the less power and fewer hammocks you get out of it. Do not feel that idling tube irrationally would necessary bring all kind of benefits as if you go too far for the capacity of the driver driver/crossover then the Sound become too much “extreme” and in many instances almost like digitalized.

Surely in a compromised context of a full range SET (not DSET) it is seldomly possible to find a proper loading for each driver…. Anyhow, when I used my ML2s I always used 16R tabs with whatever speakers I had at that time. In fact I remember I disconnected the 4R tabs and had 2 pairs or 16R binding posts…
