Dx Blame ES .... based into the Blameless, i am trying a new amplifier

Not open for further replies.
The Dx Blame St amplifier is lovely, sounds very good, it is the best audio

amplifier i have ever listened too...maybe i am doing that for longer time than Eva and CBS have of life...maybe i am older than they are.

Do not bother yourself....assemble and evaluate by yourselves..they have their reasons to be negative...maybe they are this way..their nature.

Positive folks, optimistic guys, the ones loves good sound..this is the amplifier to assemble!

Several have assembled (18)...and there are more three on the run...despite of some criticisms..seems they believe in me.

regards,

Carlos
 
18 is not much. The first production batch of my latest design is 200 units, and the 3 year failure rate of this deisign must be below 3% or I will be in serious trouble 😉 Several thousand will be produced.

Not to mention that each of those amplifiers is more powerful than the 18 DX blameless together 😉 (sold as 4kw/2ohm)

I use to learn the best way Janeman.... listening, and using try and error basis

trying some new circuits, building them... observing and listening what happens...sometimes old circuits together more modern ones...doing my Franksteins...one arm from one guy, a head from other..and go trying building and listening..the way i always did..i am not an engineer, not a theorical guy...i am the one has learned a little.... doing things.

What people thinks may be helpfull, when they clearly want to be helpfull..and this we can perceive after reading many posts of them..we know the ones are kind and the ones wants to bother..also moderators knows very well.

You, from time to time loose your patience..not too much big..i remember you were hard with a guy that was written in a bad english..... young guy doing foolish..so..you have, alike everybody, your bad moments too..sorry if i am confusing with another person.

Eva is someone tried to help me, her way...i had to agree and to do what she wanted me to do..i am not that kind of guy to be remote controlled.

So, will continue reading books, reading texts from forum, reading people that are not figthing, nor competing , not trying to be better than others, kind people, positive people and will not bother or reading, the ones does not bring me pleasure.

I am not an engineer, i have not to face problems the way they have to face..when bothers me, as this is not my profession, i kick the amplifier away..i have not to analise the way they did and not to follow their instructions as i want to learn by myself, in a try an error bases.

I am a diyer.... not a professional in this matter...i am from Video area.... Television Stations...audio is a source of pleasure..i love deeply, everyday building amplifiers..now i will tweak the Fokker.

Enjoy the thread Janeman...be happy...if you wanna be more happy...build the Dx Blame ST.,.. you gonna be surprised.

I see the oposition comes now in groups...i may be bothering a lot of engineers a lot...i am doing better amplifiers..this is hard to tollerate...i agree.

regards,

Carlos

Boards maybe Eva.... i mean people building.

In this same forum, more than 200 folks have assembled my amplifiers.

Sell your boards Eva, and be happy..why to be in this thread...amplifier is not good for you..your stuff is Class D.

In my country... around a hundred have built...i feel happy with that...proud too.

No pictures Eva.... all stories i think.... maybe you are buying automobile amplifiers and giving your personnal touch on them.... invisible things are hard to believe..sorry.

Carlos

I don't think they are bothered because you do better amps. They are bothered because the improvements are so simple and clearly visible.
Of course, you have no obligation to do anything. You have no obligation even to answer anybody.
But diyaudio is a public forum, you can't require that only people you like are on the forum. If you say you have the worlds best amp, and it has technical shortcomings, of course people will react! That's life!

Have fun,

jd
 
All rigth..... i understand that..let them react

I am much more interested in builders than in evaluators.

Buiders will read their comments, the flaws will be pointed..and if they want they can make the modifications they suggest.

What i have troubles to understand..if they know i do not like them, i do not want them, i am not following their instructions..what they are doing here?...protecting the community against my criminal (they may think..i think i am an anjo helping people, offering for free nice amplifiers) activy?... who elected them as Marshall?.

My amplifier works and sounds fine, better than several others... and you have testimony from the ones have assembled and satisfied....they are not to make Eva satisfied....in my point of view..it is the best wide world audio amplifier..and if you observe, the input is from Doctor Self, or he do not know how to make input or these people are trying to bother..the output is also generic and well known..what they want?

Eva place to be is class D ... and she use to be criticising a lot of people here in solid state... some guys goes polishing Eva boots, if she uses a boot of course...saying she is rigth...she may be rigth of course..but i want to discover by myself not following her instructions, as i perceived, clearly, not a good idea to trust on her...i am not following their instructions..what are they doing here?

Trying to bother, of course..not breaking forum rules the moderators have hands locked..can do anything.

Some folks seems to much arrogant to my taste.... they think they are better than Doctor Self... this is always a possibility...but very small.

It is better not to read them anymore.... only provocations..this does not bring me any kind of happyness.... back to ignore list folks!

regards,

Carlos

Come on Carlos, you know better than that. A lot of builders do not understand the details of what they are building.
Eva and others point out how to prevent thermal runaway, how to improve bootsrap to prevent serious overdrive issues, etc.

Ignore it if you want, but you can't make Eva go away.
Although, if I was Eva, I would be tired from trying to make people smarter. It never works that way Eva.

Confucius says: "When the mind is ready, a teacher will appear."

Hope you guys can get along together.

Use Logic
What Eva says here is quite correct I have made many amplifiers of all types And a constant current vas should be better ! But then I have made and heard many amplifiers with a bootstrap that sounded superb
It not so simple as to say this is better than that! that is better than this The design and implimentation must be synergetic and work with all parts in harmony. You have to agree with all that Eva says but you also have to agree with Carlos re the musicality of his design
If it was simple every one would do it!!! the journey is as exciting as the arrivall
I have been building amplifiers for nearly 50 years and I am still making my mind up
regards Trev
 
Dx Blame ES, also the Dx Blame St, was assembled by several brazilians

I have made it myself several times, you have all images posted, was simulated and operated perfectly..sounds good, exceptional, super great sonics, much better than the other ones i have built (around 5000 in 50 years)...was compared with several amplifiers forum knows and beated them all.

The ones have assembled are happy, super satisfied and they are not deaf.

If you want electronics precision, or measurements or theories..dive inside a book and he happy enjoying the paper..i use to listen music.

The ones that support Eva, go to listen her invisible amplifiers.

Here is for builders, i am not interested what you think about me or about Eva...i would like to know if you know how to build, if you wanna build, if you want some help and if you will be kind publishing serious, true reviews review and pictures about..other things you may search for Eva in her multiple threads where she shows her designs with their own technicall solutions applied.

In my country..if a lot of people try to put condiments in the food, it will, at least, too much salted.

Dx amplifiers are result of the years i am building...my own experience, my creation, my copy, my own clones and franksteins..i do not want to build an amplifier others will tell me how to do it..they can do it by themselves.

Build first Latala..then criticise or give me support second my dear..this is rational... this have logic....not to be supporting theories..i am talking about real amplifier..exists my dear..do not believe?...build it to be sure..or do not build if you do not want....but do not talk about what you do not know..you have not listened....if you want to send some charm to Eva...first be sure if she is free, and how she is in the reality..and try this using direct mail.....hehehe...you may be very surprised.......... let's say about my amplifier sonics...people wants to bother, for sure...it is Doctor Self design folks..what are you compared with Doctor Self man?... well...i am very small compared to him..he is my master..i use to read and i try to understand his book.

regards,

Carlos

Logic is to watch these schematics and perceive they are almost the same

Small modifications, all them tested in several amplifiers.

One is the Dx Blame ES/ST, the other one of the blameless designs from Doctor Self.

Are you really saying Doctor Self has made a bad amplifier, with flaws and defects?

Really?

That's ridiculous.

Carlos

You remind me so much of my father A man of great passion and belief
he was a Polish man who had to mine coal to feed his 8 children and then would come home and make a wedding dress for a young woman in our street so tough but so sensitive !
I could come on this forum and show designs 30 years old that i made that people still make today that sound magic
What we are about is not class D and comercial cheap to make! dear to buy! its about passion and emotion its how you feel when you hear your design producing wonderfull music
regards Trev
 
My philosophy is to design amplifiers whose internal bias currents don't depend at all on supply voltages (within a reasonable margin). This is mostly the philosophy in use today. Expending a few extra dollars in some transistors to get all currents well controlled is worth the effort, not to mention all the measurable improvements in amplifier output signal quality.

But consider that some people fear the complexity of using more transistors because they already have trouble getting the circuit right with a few ones. If you can't get a current source stable (no oscillations) or a complimentary VAS right, then bootstrapped VAS is for you 😉 It's not as "clean" but it's really fool proof 😀

All these notes come from experience, it's not preconceived belief.

Thanks Eva, I always enjoy your technical contributions.

Your design philosophy is what I imagine 99.9% of professional engineers in the commercial arena would have. It makes perfect sense to me.

I think it is actually easier to design an amplifier with multiple constant current sources because as you state it allows greater tolerances in the PSU and tends to isolate each stage to a greater degree. It wasn't till I was playing around with a simulator that I realised how sensitive to PSU and resistor values the basic non-ccs circuit is.

But here in DIY land we are not bound by professional, commercial or even logical design criteria. We are free to do what we like. 😀

You're right, it is ridiculous 😀

There were times when people believed that something as small as bacteria could not pose a threat to human health.

Many people died because of this preconcieved belief.

(Of course nobody dies because of your amplifiers - please, misunderstand me here 😉 )

Even the little things can make a big difference.

And we are just looking at the schematic level here.

Self pointed out, that the schematic, that you quote, alone does not make the blameless a good amp.
You can still ruin everything with a bad implementation/construction of this very schematic.
 
You do not need to build my amplifier Krachkiste..build yours

and then you can make your implementations...terrible is the do nothing platton, having some small pieces of fame with other folks hard work.

Move..do something...positive Krachkiste.

My amplifiers sounds better than all i have listened.... maybe your amplifier can beat it.... publish something..share your knowledge..let people learn from you....this is positive, is diy.

You seem ironic... will be ignored too.... despite of your comments..the reality is that my bad implemented amplifier can smash yours..do not matter how complicated it can be.....easy..laughing...and rolling into the floor.

I am building fokker....listening and trying to adjust... do not need your help, a lot of CCS there...sound is not so good as my Dx Blame ST.... this means to me, as the basic frame, the basic schematic, is generic..the same i have in other amplifiers....but this one is engineered with CCS..a lot of them.... and the result is engineer level..audio quality not so good for a while...maybe some bootstrap will save it.

I will see you, or read you, in the Christmas..of 2030

Builders!..you see how much the engineers are bothered about my amplifiers

As they usually do not provide us diy material, they usually build nothing, also do not share schematics.....seems to me my amplifier is really excelent... it is pure jellows and envy...despite college, they cannot do better.

These ones, not a sucessfull engineers, frustrated, are in the forum trying to bother people that works for the forum.... the are united to bother someone that have worked for our forum so hard.... enemies from me and from the forum..annoying people that soon will leave our forum as they cannot stand to see non engineers, alike me, Aksa and several others, doing better than they can.

Build the Blame..you see how much it is moving these people.... also try their suggestions to see if this will increase audio quality..... this is what i use to do...to try all options, and i guarantee sonics will not be better with their suggestions... these ones, rarely hold a soldering iron..they do not know..may burn their hands holding upside down.

The Dx Blame ES/ST is the best audio amplifier i have ever listened to... i have built the minimum of 5000 amplifiers.. along 49 to 50 years...now a days 3 amplifiers each week..in the past almost one and a half (average) each day..have studied audio in Sony, have worked for Sony... i have installed and trained personal to work with audio and video, installed Television Studios...these others ones leave the College and could not even work in Engineering...so.... they have time to be in our forum bothering.

Frustrated they are.

The Dx Blame can beat, easy, all amplifiers they can design...not because i am better designer..... but because Doctor Self if much better designer then these ones are.

Platton is increasing.... frustrated folks atracted...cannot stand for non engineers producing nice audio amplifiers... an worse, based in Doctor Self, their enemie because their envy...they have studied from Self and now spitting in the teacher.....ungrateful traitors.

You can come in hundreds...i am ready for all of you.... you are producing movement here...giving me reasons to talk, making the thread populated, some will come to be happy watching me smashing you, and others will come to see the opposite.... this is producing advertising to the amplifier..people is turning more and more curious about it...also, people has brain..and they are watching you and me..and they know what is going on...more than you know..because observers from outside the struggle knows and can see exactly, what is going one, what moves one and other.... also they know you did nothing for our forum, a diy forum, and behaving sucking other guys blood alike vampires, not giving us a drop of your sweat.

Much more people will build..because of you.

Come on... now we have 56 thousand hits....are there more frustrated engineesr?

regards,

Carlos

And here goes your mantra... again!

You are assuming the things you want to see, Carlos.

Yet I did not say a word about your amp in my last post.

It is kind of funny to see you spinning in circles. But it's already getting boring.

I don't care about presenting myself as the best DIY-builder in the world and that I have buiid the world's best audio amplifier.
You do!

I just like to contribute my knowledge and maybe get some new knowledge in return. That is why I am here. I want to learn and to get inspired.

You want to be told that you're the best. That's fine with me. Everybody has the right to live his life the way he wants to (in a reasonable scale of course).
But don't expect me to tell you what you want to hear.
 
Ich bin nichst der besten...I am not the best...i use to follow the best ones

Doctor Self for instance.... i use to research and listen..i have made the best amplifier because i have copied from the best source and give to it my personnal touch

This is what bothers you.... that i may think i am the best...... now i understand your point.

You know.... i am working now..... and i will present you a Dx Optimizing Feature (DOF).... these resistances in series with capacitors...picture may show you..also you may see a small inductance and a tip of wire... all this works together and result in better results to my amplifiers.... the DOF will be applied in all Dx Amplifiers.

Also, i would like to say, i have my portable engineer..this ones works for me...makes me not need the envy platoon help...i do not need you... i have Doctor Self and the Green engineer you see in the picture... this one does not discuss, does not complain, do not criticise and give me all the answer i want.

regards,

The one made the best..not beeing the best...

ahahahahahah!

Sadly we have lost G. Randy Slone..... but i will try to be connected

as someone that follows his instructions... a follower of him...will try to change my name Kachkiste... to see if i can make big magic and call all his knowledge to me.

B (Brazilian)
Grandy (sounds as big)
Sponge (sucks knowledge, absorbs know how)

So, in the future, i will be transformed in B. Grandy Sponge!

ahahahahahah!

You dear, will continue to be Krautchiste.....kidding of course...lovely name yours.
