Here are the speakers.
There is much to say about the speakers. It is late here so maybe later.
One thing you see is that the woofer are clamped, glued and skrewed into metal tubes that are fixed on the back so that they can not move forward or backward.
The woofer run active with my Back EMF Recyling circuit.
I extract the Back EMF and feed it back to the amplifier.
The midrange is the new 90mm Cell driver from Accuton.
The tweeter is a Heil AMT specially made for me by Mundorf.
The cable is silver ribbons, natural gum dielectric in cotton sleeve.

wow that is pretty amazing. I would like to know more about that design...it looks very, very interesting.
I also see that you use Nordost Cables.
What model is that?
Have a good night!

The posted CCS is to change the 570R for the attached pic, right?
Only one 33K?
I have on hand BC550C & BC650C so I will use these.

I noticed the same using the tube rectifiers 6AX4GT in place of the solid state rectifiers, a lot of more natural sound.
. Regulation is very simple and based on a special NOS russian zener that was chosen by Andrejs friend in Siberia.
Very good fairy-tale type story. Soviet era electronic components have an image of being rare,secret and mysterious.Russian zener diodes? A good story.

Much different approach than the added example picture ?
Mind if I ask what you think about AMT's mounted in a wall ? (boat)
(the loudspeaker doesn't also shoot tennis balls, or does it ?)

Merlin, your drawing post 1188 is correct.
Jacco, my system is all passive.
I am planning to visit Frans and you are not living far away, so we can discuss this with a good wine.

Interesting!! But will these be better than a premium quality Battery? That is my question
😎
I didn't even know that Tube zeners even existed!!
Is it possible to knnow what tubes and zener produced this sound and at what price 😱😱?
I think it has been shown a couple of times on the forum that a quality reg can best a battery in performance.
how can that beat a battery if the battery can be followed up by the same regulator.
I am wondering how the regular outlet can better a premium battery, I hope I am wrong since design a power management system requires a lot of free time I probably don't have
It is not a tube zener, it is a solid state.
Stefanoo,with the PSU go your own way or we will discuss this issue to the end of the world.

Absolutely true!
I tried standalone battery as first thing and didn’t satisfy me, however I felt there could be potential there so, only when battery is followed up by proper regulator that excels in all respect to the main outlet plus dedicated power cord.
The problem with the battery is service life and having a pretty precise power management system especially when more cells are in series and you need to control the balance of the charge ensuring that every battery cell is properly charged up at the same level and monitoring for cut off voltage to prevent sulfation of the plates.

No, no I would try to see if there is a better sounding supply.
I am absolutely not stuck on batteries whatsoever, if there is a better option I would totally consider it.
Now you lost me, I thought you said that the regulation was done by a special Russian tube zener but it was executed by a regular solid state zener?
Would you mind explaining a bit further? From your last comment it looks like the only difference is made by the tube rectifier section.
One thing I noticed and that popped up is the main transformer.
Am I wrong or that is a general purpose transformer? Or maybe it is something more exotic, don’t know.
Please let me know, I am curious.
Joachim you inversed the transistors symbols, but schematic is right BC550C NPN upperside BC560C downside, right?
