General:
LUXMAN Audio Driver for Windows PC/Mac To operate a DA-150/D-03X/D-10X connected to a Windows PC using a USB cable, you must install the dedicated 'Windows-ready USB driver' software. The latest version of our 'Windows-ready USB driver' can be downloaded from the link below. ※DA-250/DA-150/D-03X/D-10X do not ship with a driver software CD.

Inside, Luxman has bolstered the power supply for the pre-driver stage while its proprietary ‘Only Distortion Negative Feedback’ (ODNF) circuit has been upgraded to version 4.0 PM discusses these inner workings in his Sidebar. I got the D-03X. Once I've got it, I sold my DA-06 and my DA-250. The holographic, the attack, the deep bass, the airy hights, the crystal clear mids and the 'music flow' the Luxman way is present.The dac in this D-03X is so good by it self that, in my opinion, there is no point of owning the DA-06, unless you need more digital inputs than the D-03X brings, and beside; 3X can.
This Luxman L230 audio amplifier made & produced by Luxman (Alpine)in the late1980’s. It is a part of the L200 series amplifiers of Luxman.

Specifications & Special features:
This Luxman L230 audio amplifier is a affordable yet high quality amp made by Luxman.
It incorporates Duo-Beta ® feedback and the tone control is not the usual, it is in the feedback line of the power amp.
No traditional tone amp is to be found in this amplifier.
It has 'single pcb policy' and has the power transistors directly soldered to the main pcb.
The power supply is simple, but has sufficient capacity to feed a 2x60W basic amp.
It has a common IC grade MC & MM/MD pick-up amp.
The protection circuits are rather simple, so you can easely damage your amp when used improperly.
It has a fully symmetric and complementary bipolar transistor power output with
high speed & high current plastic power transistors.

Click here to see the L200 series power supply schematic diagram in PDF format Netcore driver.
Modifications:
The power transformer of the L230 is much bigger than in the L200,
but most of the amps of the L200 series are working on the same power rail voltages,
some amps of the L200 series do not have a phono MC/MM switch and have only 1 lamp in the front.
On the photos you can see that several electrolytic capacitors are to be replaced.
Some amps of the L200 series have smaller sized driver transistors in the power amp section,
replace them with bigger ones as in the L230 or heatsink the small drivers.
The zener diode D112, 20V/3W, needs to be replaced by a 4 Watt type and extra heat sinking to D112 must be applied,
when original light bulbs are applied. Otherwise problems with this circuit will come back again.
The original power design of this circuit part is incorrect, your pcb will probably be burnt like the one on the photo above.
When the light bulbs are replaced by leds (that I prefer), the zenerdiode D112 is obsolete and can be removed,
the 300 Ohm resistor R153, must be replaced by a 1,5 to 5,6 KOhm 2W type as on the photo, depending on the type leds you use,
and then you have the correctpower design.
I took 3 leds of different color: red, yellow and green. if you like other colors like blue better, that can be used also,
R153 must then be adjusted to the correct value of led current, remember that Voltage is not important using leds,
only the correct Current through the leds has to be adjusted with R153, different led-colours may require an extra resistor in series of every led.
Replace C104 a b, C103 a b, C113 a b, C107, C108 a b, C130, C131, C129, C133, C132, C120 a b, C122 a b, C118 a b and C301 a b.
The power transistors 2SA1263/2SC3181 (To) of this particular amp model were broken,
and were replaced in the past by BD249/BD250 (TI) by a repair man who did not know what he was doing,
that are of course not the right transistors, so I removed and replaced them by correct transistors.
I used 2SA1694 & 2SC4467 made bySanken as you can see on the photo above,
cheap and great performance, even better than the original Toshiba's.
The power-amp input capacitors need to be replaced: C118, they may be small polyester or
polypropylene 3,3 to 4,7 uF 100V made by Wimaas on the photo above, do not use big size caps, keep them small.
The power supply main capacitors C134, C135 of 10000 uF (4700 uF in L200) need to be decoupled by small HF capacitors:
add 2x 0,01 uF 100V ceramic, parallel to C134 and C135.
You can separate the power supply section to the main amps:
add 4 diodes capable of 6 Amperes continious current, add 2 main caps of 10000 uF (4700 for some L200 versions) (plus decoupling caps of course).
Now you can have 2 separate power rails for the 2 power amps, some electronic know how is required to do this particular modification.
You can also connect the speaker terminals directly to the amps and not use the speaker switches at the front.
Remember that the protection-circuit is simple and will not protect your speakers when the power amps break down.
I also did some experiments with different 'loudness' switch capacitor values C116a/b, 0.047 uF,
as I found the loudness switching too agressive in the sound image.
I used 0.005 and 0.01 uF, both usable values, this of course depends on the speakers you use,
I used Tannoy HPD315, Sixes 611, 609 and 605 speakers to test.
I found the muting circuit also to be vulnerable to defective parts, so I checked and changed the transistors and some other parts:
Q114, Q114a and Q115, R150, R151 and D109 / C132, all can be defective in some cases.
Check also working voltages of the caps in this circuit as I found some with incorrect values:
35V caps on a 46 Volt power rail, its certain this is going to be the cause of problems, replace with at least 50V caps.
You can upgrade the common IC grade MC & MM/MD pick-up amp. by using a different IC.
I used a some high speed IC types to test, but was not able to hear any difference, the NJM 2043 does a great job.
There may be some other things subject to modification, but this is the main mod I made so far.
^ The power design issue ^
Sound:
This amplifier is a member of the cheaper Luxman series made by Alpine Japan, though very good in sound quality.
These series of 'High Quality' audio components soon got legendary of their outstanding quality and excelent sound quality.

| Purveyors of Electronic, Musical and Vintage goodsfrom then, now and in between. Luxman Stereo Hi-Fi Parts & Spares for sale and reference. |
*Note about parts / spares sales
* Our 'parts units', parts / spares and related reference information are primarily archived for the purpose of restoration / repair of 'Oak Tree Vintage' units first. Only if we do not have a 'viable' unit in yet, either already in process or in line to be processed, that may potentially need parts from a 'parts unit', will we release available parts for sale (even though they may appear as available for sale to the public). As many of you know, the restoration of a unit can be a long, time consuming process. We may 'lock up' parts that we may potentially need in the restoration of a unit (and not necessarily get it marked 'Hold' or 'Sold' on the site right away). Parts are priced according to the 'potential value' of the unit they can be applicable to (meaning the amount WE would be willing to pay for the part if that was all that was standing between us having a 'shelved unit' or a valuable / sellable unit), time to extract, their rarity & their condition to name a few criteria and likely will be completely unrelated to the original cost / price of a part when it was currently available from the manufacturer.
Parts Photos; We get a number of requests for 'photos' of a specific part. Unfortunately, in most cases that is not practical as the amount of time involved in posting that exceeds the value of the 'unique' part. We will sometimes post photos of less 'unique' parts, if there is a greater chance of them being available in multiple quantities, or on a more 'repeat' basis.
Parts, general condition / circuit board condition; Most of our parts are from 'salvage / donor' units. While we don't sell parts that are 'known' to be bad, occasionally parts will need further adjustment, cleaning, 'tweaking', or in the case of circuit boards, may need old, conductive glue / epoxy further cleaned, and some 'common' parts / components replaced due to 'green / black / furry' legs, or because those parts were marked as 'sold separately'. Some circuit boards may have 'tired' 'landing / solder pads' which can require 'jumpers'. Unless noted, circuit boards will be 'crack / split / break' free.
Parts pricing; Most of our parts price / value will be based on a few things. Firstly, we are in the restoration / refurb business, so we consider what we would be willing to pay for the part if we needed it (which again, is what the parts are listed for in the first place, 'our units'). Secondly, the rarity / value of the unit the part(s) fit. The 'Tuning Knob' for a receiver that has a final value of $350 will likely be much less than the 'Tuning Knob' for a unit with a final value of $1500 or more (a set of tires for a typical sedan will be $400 to $600. A set for a Lamborghini can be $16,000). Thirdly, the 'rarity' of the part. Forth, the 'condition' of the part. Fifth, the difficulty to extract the part, or success rate for extracting certain parts. Sixth; frankly it's a LOT of work and time to part out a unit. Most take 1 to 3 days of shop time to process. Not only the disassembly, but the 4-15 hours of pre-testing / servicing and just as time consuming can be the amount of time it takes to do all of the research we do and the info we list on many parts for cross-referrencing to other units that my use the same parts by scouring service manuals. On many circuit boards we will list every 'semi-conductor' which is also very time consuming. Lastly, every call or email for a part can require 20 minutes to sometimes over an hour of 'phone support', often (about 50% of the time) with me convincing the potential purchaser that they don't need the part I have to solve their problem.
Sorry to sound like a 'whiner' about selling parts, but 'time is money'.
Shipping: Shipping on most 'small' parts if typically via Postal first class or Postal Priority for both domestic (USA) and international orders. Larger parts such as transformers and drivers (speakers) are typically via FedEx gnd.
Some parts sales such as those for empty 'speaker cabinets', empty 'component cabinets / covers / bonnets' and 'speaker grills' and most are 'doomed' from the start. Due to their size and required packing supplies, the cost of 'packing for safe transit' and shipping are commonly 'disproportionate' to their cost, typically nearly equal to and sometimes greater than the cost of the part. Think about it. An empty speaker cabinet or stereo receiver case is essentially the same size as a complete one. Yes the weight will be less, but most of items that size are calculated on 'dimensional weight', not actual weight so are commonly just as expensive as shipping a 'complete unit'. Secondly empty component cabinets have to be packed to disallow breakage, typically requiring nearly as much packing materials as an entire unit. Speaker grills have to be 'sandwiched' between foam sheets in large, custom ordered boxes (all relatively expensive). It is what it is..
A non-response to an email of phone call / voice message request for a part that we don't show on one or our pages, or is already marked 'SOLD' will be typical. We simply don't have the time / man-power resources to respond to every query we get for items we don't show as avail. Most folks get that. Having said that, I / we may respond if we have information on a substitution or other useful information relating to it.
A non-response to an email of phone call / voice message request for a part (we may appear to have, but typically 'highlighted in Orange or Yellow'), likely means that we are still determining which parts we are going to need for the restoration or repair of one of our units. Again, the parts are first for the restoration of our units and secondarily for the public market. Since we list the parts available for ourselves, it is not much effort to modify the menu's for web publication, which in turn makes the reference information and occasionally the part available to the public. Frankly, publishing them to the web, in many instances, makes it easier for us to determine if we have the part for our needs as well. The alternative to all of the above would be to not offer them at all to the public, however most parts are available to the public for sale. Also, parts requests can occasionally take time for us to respond to. While we may have a part listed, and we like to keep the website 100% accurate, occasionally a part will be 'used by us' or 'previously sold' and we by oversight, and we did not get the web listing marked 'SOLD', or the part gets 'mis-placed' or 'lost' (laid down somewhere in the warehouse(s) and then it get's lost track of (that happens to our coffee cups all the time, then we find it months later with 'a good batch of 'penicillin' growing in it), so we like to 'lay eyes on it' prior to responding. Sometimes we just can't figure out which cabinet or drawer parts were assigned to (and we're working on a system for that one).
Some folks email / call and want us to respond either way / whether we have the part or not. Again, we simply do not have the time resources to do that. Our time must be utilized on the requests we can fulfill.
Sorry for all the excuses, but that's how the 'system' (or lack thereof) works.
And, if you don't see it, we likely don't have it.
Thank you for your understanding.

Most of these components are 'take-outs' from stereo gear that for various reasons we 'chopped' and unless otherwise noted are inserviceable / working condition / shape!
In the case of output transistors, they will be tested / checked prior to posting and once again prior to shipment, pots / switches will be 'cursory' cleaned, parts already missing / utilized from circuit board will be noted, transformers will be checked prior to posting. Filter capacitors will be tested / checked prior to posting and once again prior to shipment and 're-conditioned' / 're-formed' if necessary.
