Not open for further replies.
Searching for Nico Daneel and Dxamp i have found a lot of Dx amplifiers

Being sold wide world.

I would like to inform you folks that i am not connected to this.

My amplifiers was offered in this forum in group buys and also Juan Vargas Diaz is someone that can offer you pcboards.

In Brazil i have Fábio Zimmer, the one use to sell pcboards.

None of them is my business...from both of them i use to receive a single kit of pcboards and parts in order to produce an unit for testing and advertisement purposes.

These circuits you see around, can be good... i do not know nothing about it...or cannot be good...i also cannot say a word about it as i have not bougth anyone of them to test.

I do not appreciate non authorized people doing that..but if this is usefull to you..then it is your decision and risk.

I do not give any follow up without receive pictures of the amplifier being built to check if the pcboard is from my own friends or if the guy etched in his own home...then i gonna help the guy... related these kits available, the one that have produced has responsibility about them.

I know, because Brazil fame, that people may believe i am behind all that stuff..... negative.... pcboards was made only by Mitchel (Miguel Nabuco) and offered to Brazilian foruns...also Fábio Zimmer (Zimmer) use to sell inside Brazil to other foruns..... Juan Vargas Diaz (vargasmongo) is authorized to provide pcboards ....... also Meanman can provide pcboards and Nordic too... no one more.

None of them are my employee..they use to help me and they run their own business....and this is more a hobbie than a business...with the profit all them had together, along 10 years..they could not buy a bicicle with that money.

By the way..thank you Weldon as you have deleted some posts.

regards,

Carlos

Satisfaction is guaranteed.:smash:

If you dislike it i will invite you to my place as consolation prize.

Sorry, you will not swim in these beaches, as for sure you gonna appreciate my amplifiers 🙂

By the way... if you really dislike it....prize is yours... but i have to say....my beach is full of sharks!😎

Zimmer offered me some pcboards for me to assemble

...the new black pcboards...... it is funny, before we had white but too much brazilian sun they become darker.

Looks good.... i will assemble.

I have made a different VAS...but not sure about the sound.... for a while it sounds strange to me.... i have to study it more....it is very good....but there's something wrong there.

No!..new VAS in research for a while..these pcboards are the old Dx Super A...the same Juan Vargas have offered to this forum.

From time to time Zimmer send me some pcboards...because brazilian order pcboards from him and he use to pay me this way....i like this way.


regards,

Carlos

Do your want quality?... then go straight to a Dx Amplifier

A result of 54 years studying amplifiers...the selection of the best sub circuits to give you awesome performance almost for free (parts, pcboards, solder, electrical energy and time spent).

Do not waste your time...you can have almost the same...but not the same ... and not better!

Do not know what model to build..then search for Dx Blame ES, Dx Blame ST and go ahead...also Dx Super A is awesome....well..all them are great, but each one of then have their own sonic signature...the most accepted and built in hundreds was the Dx Blame ST.

This one is Dx Mark One.... beeing prepared...not ready to go!

Uncle Charlie with you all a great 2015.... that can be even better while

listening a Dx Amplifier...made for you...not a business...a DIY project based in Dr. Self Blameless.

My first amplifier ...calculated...designed...was this one..with a Germanium transistor (AD161) down 1969;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbc3Q-AGOJM

In the signature line you can see Brazilian Creativity😱

Here in Brazil is hard...people ask things we do not listen in this forum

They want to know the heatsink to a Dx Amplifier... and there are so many models (32)

My answer to them was:

depends on your model
depends on your transformer power
depends on your filter
depends on your output impedance
depends if one channel of two channels gonna be used into the heatsink
depends on your music style
depends on the volume you play...if you use sinthethiser for instance
depends on your music style
depends on your speaker impedance and impedance graphic

These heatsinks show in the photograph may be good, depend on each sittuation/condition/setup...... can be bad and not enougth depending on these same conditions.....here is difficult.... hard work...people usually has very low technicall knowledge (there are exceptions of course)

Very difficult questions they make here....i will invite Zimmer to produce kits including several heatsinks included depending each sittuation.

Soon i will make video on photographs of your blue board dear Juan.... Zimmer ordered 400 black boards, not white anymore..but he has 34 white pcboards left from the third batch he ordered.

Here is the last video made...photographic video...will make with blue boards too next week.... Coca Cola....oh! ... i love it!

Song in this video was EE..not a microphone recording...it is the original captured from an US video...... sound in the signature line was captured with microphone while the amplifier was playing..showing sound signature.

Carlos

We have evoluted a lot...first we made simple, o etch at our home

Them pirates came to sell our stuff without any previous contact or authorization....they made pretty pcboards using plier filled with rust (watch it)

Some folks from Asia and some from Singapore came to help...they started to make better pcboard layout studies.

Then some close friends decided to help me to make ultimate pcboards....you see by the pictures we have evoluted a lot.

Because of pirates i have decided not to share schematics anymore..the ones, in Brazil, that knows me, use to come to me to have secret amplifiers...now a days they pay for them and have to sign a secrecy agreement...not to show schematic agreement.

Pirates pointed our forum as source of infomation for them to build.... they sold, earn money and ask people to drive me to work for them.

My DIY models are here and i will be around to help one or two that come to build.

Anyone that wants to beat Dx Amplifier sonics can come to me to have the audio file..then you play it through your amplifier and make a recording to show sonics with your astonishingly good expensive speaker..... come on!....i challenge you to beat me...no way....you gonna loose!

Each amplifier has a sonic signature...and mine had received thousands of hours of research in a try and error basis replacing components, increasing or destroying bias and operation optimized point in order to obtain sonics.... no way to beat me, unless you apply yourself in such stupid work of try and error for thousand hours...already lost if believe calculations will give you that..... it is the opposite...you go out from the optimum point...you put things in the threshold of oscilation..undercompensate.

And you cannot copy...now a days i am destroying Cordell Cascode VAS.... not working properly in my mind and then i changed a lot and you cannot imagine how much i have made. related modifications, that result in lovely sonics.


If you beat me i will call you the Master of the Universe...as have beated a fanatic that have studied by 54 years (me).... someone that went to Japan to learn video and television and scaped to the audio department and have drinked together the crazy scientist that used to trow dishes into the walls when frustrated not to be able to tune Dolby C properly to their equipment because of Sony heads...i told them...replace by Nakamichi Heads and do not tell anybody ( they have copied)....i was there folks....talking with them.... drinking with them....they are my reference..my teachers...... and i am so proud of these skills obtained that i use to kick some retarded that come to me with foolishes learned in a book... writen, sometimes, but someone that never built their stuff..they just believe calculations are rigth...and many times are wrong.

Invitation is no good for Hugh Dean....this one may beat me....he is a monster in knowledge.

regards,

Carlos

Not a good idea to visit Brazil in 2015 and 2016

I have three rooms, all them fully operational laboratories... only electronics here.🙂

About the Got Amplifier i am developing.... check my channel if you want to see measurements and progress:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9xnp-350vDnDhEpNv_XVxg

If it gonna be published?... for a while i do not think so...but future belongs to the destiny..nobody knows.

Listen this recording, not made by me, but instructed by me how to do it

One watt at one meter distance from speaker to the microphone..all flat, no filters used, no loudness contour.

This amplifier uses almost the same schematic we have used into the Dx Amplifier....the difference is that we use bootstrap feeding the VAS and they have used a CCS...and this is easy to replace.

I have made tests and the audible result is not important... the gain is different and some compression of sound happens when you use CCS instead of bootstrap...there's a video about this comparison posted in my youtube channel..i do not know where because i have almost 900 videos published

Here you gonna see the schematic...watch and see it is almost the same....it uses a quasi complementary output and CCS...just that as difference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JodGamloQ4k

Do you want to have a Marantz high end sound at your home paying a very small amount of money.only parts to use and your own labour?... then build a Dx Amplifier and be happy!

regards,

Carlos

Sadly you can still find Dx Amplifier in Ebay....all them non authorized

They are not mine... not my friends, not authorized.

If you do not appreciate piracy then do not buy or you gonna be cooperating with that dirt stuff.... accomplice for convenience.

I am not the pirate...picture says i hate pirate!
