Romy,
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 undiscovered until now. Then again, I understand that the driver valve does have some fairly unique distortion characteristics which in conjunction with the 6C33 are giving these results.
OK, you've convinced me: I'm going to build one... perhaps with an aircore toroid OPT for the S2.
Incidentally, I must agree with you regarding the S2: in its range, it is wonderful, it is just simply more alive and vibrant than any other driver I've heard. What I also like is its composure; at low levels, it has a very delicate touch and when it is called upon to raise its voice, it does so without strain. Unlike other drivers which sound like a teenager whose voice has just broken...
Best,
