Ok, the Headphone “Baby Melquiades” protect is over. Well, kind of over as there are some issues still are hanging in there.
A brief summary. The initial idea was to use the Melquiades’ input stage to drive headphones. Unfortunately it did not...

[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

I was trying to strategize what would I do it tomorrow someone get in touch with me and offer my $50K. In another words what would I do to convert the Altec 19 to Cetla Ledom?This is an interesting discussion itself as it gives a blueprint for me...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If I were in your situation and have 2m long 100Hz horn that
I like then I would not dive into any 200Hz la-horns. Make your 200Hz horn up-to
let say 1000-1200Hz. Then take your 550Hz and run it from 1200Hz to 10.000 and

The greatest thing that happened to my Yamaha B2 amp was the fact that I got rid of my MiniMe ported bass section. The MiniMe is truly nice now and I operate in the highly desirable not annoying status. That all made me to pay more attention to w...

This weekend I was walking in my new listening room and did

I keep receiving emails from visitors asking me about my views regarding the GM70 vs. 6C33C. I am clearly not in a position to provide any EXPERT opinion because of two reasons. First, I never had a properly built GM70 in my disposal. Second, I ...

[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]

The Melquiades amplifiers practically dally demonstrate so much “interesting” behavior that it is not even funny. My relationship with this amp reminds me that bird for the Montaigne's “An Apologie Of Raymond Sebond”:
“But the tale of the plot is v...

[quote user="darkmoebius"] That's because "off the shelf" amps can be easily resold for little or no loss of money if they are not to the buyer's liking. The Melquiades, on the other hand, leaves the builder with $3,000 worth of parts not easily reso...

[quote user="floobydust"] Romy,
As you're planning to run a 6K load, you can run less current without the transfer curve suffering as much. So, another shot at some numbers.... rather than use a RC setup to drop the voltage, Hammond (not my fa...

[quote user="Ronnie"] I don't know any industry wolves unfortunately(?), but more new -01 drivers have appeared at half the price. I think I'll go ahead and make the speakers full range in time for my upcoming 30-years-on-earth-celebration. :-) [/quo...

It is interesting to recall how audio started in my life. Somebody asked and I was puling out from my memories some unconnected fragments was really enjoying to recall those times…

[quote user="Merlin"] Indeed the linearity of the Berning in comparison with the Lamm is quite remarkable, and indeed could be disconcerting to an inexperienced listener brought up on large increases on 2nd harmonic at the bottom end. [/quote]

Ronnie,
I’m sorry I was not able to detect the clipping you were taking about listening your file. However, if you can hear ANYTHING distorted at 1kHz (when ONLY your upper bass horn is playing) then you might consider the following: it has NOTHING ...

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...
