QUASAR: The amplifier you can listen to, by Tiberiu Vicol

I built my first QUAD405 in 1988.
From 1991 I started to improve this amazing design by addressing schematic, pcb layout and components.
The result is QUASAR, now at version 17.
Each component was carefully chosen not only by datasheet specifications, but also by extensive listening sessions.
We are proud to offer a current dumping amplifier completely redesigned, which offer superb sonic performance.
I'm confident, that by building this amplifier, you will rediscover and live your music again.

We are glad to build a Quasar amplifier for you, therefore we invite you to listen Quasar 17 in our show-room.
In order to achieve best performance, we made customised amplifiers based on customer speaker system.

Do It Yourself a QUASAR Ver 13

If you are a Do It Yourself hobbyist, and you would like to build your own QUASAR 13, we can provide all components to build Quasar 13 from scratch.
Top quality 70um Cu PCB's supporting DIP or SMD operational and lateral or vertical MOS-FET's.
PCB was designed in order to accomodate a large variety of components by different sizes and types.
Size of PCB is 200 x 86 mm.

We are providing, for your convenience, full BOM (Bill Of Materials) in OpenOffice or Microsoft Office. The documents contain links to Partsconnexion , Farnell and RS-Components.*
Just click and add to your basket needed components.
We consider this is the fair way. You can buy high quality, genuine, components from major distributors at a right price.
After many listening hours and fine component tuning, we would like to suggest you an audiophile selection BOM, with components which offer best sonic performance at given price.

If you wish to build this amplifier with vertical MOSFET - Toshiba or International Rectifier - and with regular components, we recommend below schematic and BOM list.

Vertical MOSFET BOM will be added soon
