[quote user="ml8"]So sometimes i just wonder why do you need 6C33C at all, with your high-sensitive speakers.[/quote]
This thread is a derivation of the “5 Channel Version of Melquiades” thread:

As some of you know I’m playing last couple days with Red 10” Tannoys from 60s. My selection of 10” was not accidental -I would like to get as less as possible of that “Tannoy bass” but I did run very far the “Reds” turned out to have 27Hz open...

Splitting the Lamm ML3 thread: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=3595
There are some people who worship direct-heated tubes and attribute to them some ventures (like absent of higher harmonics and a special micro-fineness). The...

[quote user="hagtech"]I have not tried this tube yet. It might push the limits of the tester. The 6.3V heater current supply is nominally rated at 5 amps. It might be ok to push it to 6.6 amps. I have to think about this, make...

Jim, I have sent you the tubes – it might be an interesting journey.
I send you:
1) 6C33C that was working with both cathodes approximately a year. It is not dead year but it is deep into retirement age. Run it at 220V and 200-250mA full-tube,...

Jim, I did try the anti-phase transformer in the secondary but I felt that it did something to sound. I can not do it on primary as I have the pate coil for the first stage sitting on the same transformer. Regarding the sweet spot of the 6C33C - I ha...

This is kind if funny as I never thought that I will go this way. I kind of have a need for an amplifier. For a normal full range amplifiers that would be able to drive conventional speakers. I really can’t use the Super Melquiades as it has the live...

MochaMike, yes you are correct it would not be the “softness” but rather”liquidity”. Still what you are taking is applicable for the paper cone 4 to 15" drivers not compression drivers. Who knows how the compression drivers will react.
To the rest ...

Chris,
What I most concern is that my pursuing to fix the HF channel I make myself similar to zillion audio Morons who run across Audio like wounded in the ass animals and keep evaluation components, elements, cables, soldering and defectively of th...

Guys,
Thanks, for your help with all my HF channel frustration.
The saga is not over. The latest update is the following:
The “secured” Cubes 950 (1000pF and 500pF) were placed between the Milq’s HF channel and the result was dissatisfying. The so...

Continuing in my quest to the finding the new DPoLS with my Super Milq I did some “critical test listing” today. I’m certainly getting closer. I spent a few hours to play with the playback and I recognize that the first signs of the approximation of ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anthony, I do not know what you new buffer is. A few notes. The difference between sub 10R and 300R of output impedance is significant for the load you have (Milq) between your new buffer and your 10Y preamp. The type of th...

if I did it again then I would not do it in context of multi-channel amplifier

After 4 days of suiting in boxes in my listening room today is my day off and I decided to dedicate it to play with the new Pure Power 3000+.
I desired to use just records and connected all amps, preamps and phonostage to ol...

Well, Jim, it is time to say “Oops!” I told to myself do not make any posts early morning unit I eat a bagel but this mooring I disobeyed the rule. Anyhow, I do not know how I come up with 28.5V RMS. Defiantly it was peak-to-peak on the scope and I r...

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 tried the driver and generally I do like it’s sound a lot. It more sophisticated then Linaeum, it is more noble tonally and alike the Linaeum is seamlessly melts with Vitavox S2. In fact I am developing recently a theorem according to which a compr...

[quote user="AnonymousUser"]hi-i have downloaded the circuit diagram for your amp but wondered if you have any photos of the "guts" so i can see how you laid yours out ? [/quote]

Recently Macondo was altered and converted into… nope, not into a Super Macondo :-) but in a “Larger Macondo”. The Super Macondo it will be when I resolved how to implement time delays along with a low pass flirter at midbass horn, that would enable ...

First of all: I have moved this thread into the Milq Forum…..

[quote user="ml8"] If you think gas regulators make sound of 6E5P so nice, didn't you try putting gas regulator tube in the grid of the 6C33C, and why? [/quote]
Sure, I trued. It sounded very bad. I pull out of my butt any imaginable rational with e...

[quote user="Paul S"]So this amp would not have to deal with a crossover? One R and one L in the signal path, it looks like a headphone amp, maybe a dream circuit for a light piston, HF only, given no cap/coil load at the [ribbon] driver. [/quo...

I am very much do not like the current state of my mind about the single-stage Milq. Let me to explain….
In 2001-2002 I spend some time trying to assess the sonic influence of PS to sound. After making numerous tests and prototypes I concluded that ...

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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I was thinking about this: how come that driving 6C33C (in fact driving anything one can imagine) the 6E5P was very fine but driving 2A3 it was dull like hell. I opened the amp and tested all – everything was perfect but th...
