[Amps] For Sale New Emtron DX-3

[Thomas Hix]

I am forced to sell my brand new (Jan 22nd) Emtron DX-3 amp.

This amp was delivered on Jan 22 of 2004. It still has 3 years and 9 months 
of factory warranty. It has less than 150 hours of on time since Jan. 22nd.

This amp is as new, it does not have a blemish of any kind on it 
anywhere....it is perfect.

The amp will do 1500 watts with 25 watts of drive, and 2500 watts with 35 
watts of drive, and 3kw with about 50 watts of drive. That is as far as I 
have taken the amp because I dont know how much power my dummy load will 
carry before it blows up.

I tell you this amp is a MONSTER! it really does a great job.
One thing I really like about this GIANT of an amp is the fact that it is so 
quiet. When you drive some legal limit amps to their rated power, a lot of 
them will "groan" and "moan", and sound as if they are just about to fly 
apart, but with the DX-3....you cant tell the difference between 2500 watts 
out, and standby. It just does not make any noise other than the fan which 
is entirely normal in range. You can tell by the sound that this amp is made 
to last.  No moans no groans, no reduction of fan speed, no nothing.....just 
sits there and purrs along like a big fat cat.

I cant tell you enough about what a great amp this is.

I CAN NOT ship this amp, PICK UP ONLY. With Payment in Cash. It is just too 
risky to ship a big amp like this, and besides, I am a handicapped person, 
and I just can not pack the amp for shipping. It is just too heavy for a 
person in a wheelchair to pick up. So, whoever buys it will have to come to 
Boaz Alabama and pick it up.

Boaz is 15 miles north of Gadsden Al. on hwy 431. 65 mi north of Birmingham 
and 40 mi south of Huntsville.


I also have a spare $500 control board for the amp. just in case it should 
ever need one. The control board is the heart of the amp......Being an 
overly cautious kind of person, I dont like to take any chances that maybe 
the control board may become unobtainable some day, so that is why I went 
ahead and bought a spare at the same time I bought the amp......More than 
likely it will never be needed, but better to have and not need than to need 
and not have. I will also be willing to sell the buyer a spare gu78b tube at 
a substantial savings when compared to my published tube price in both my CQ 
and QST magazine ads for my Tom's Tubes website.


A new DX-3 will cost you right at $6700.00 by the time you pay shipping cost 
and customs cost. With the additional control boards the price raises to 
$7200.00 all in.....My Price for the Emtron DX-3 and the spare, new control 
board is $5500.00. That is $1700.00 savings!!!! I know $5500.00 is a lot of 
money to pay for an amp, but if you really think about it, it's more of an 
investment than just a purchase. This amp is built so well, and is such a 
quality item that, with the spare control board,  more than likely, it will 
give you a lifetime of worry free service.  I can assure you my amp is just 
as good as any amp just off the boat....even better, you know mine works 
100% and it has no problems. When you buy an amp from overseas, sometimes 
the shipping takes a toll on the amp, and by the time they arrive, they have 
problems.....with this amp, you dont have that to worry with. It works 
exactly as it should, and you can come here and see it in operation. My 
price is firm and the transaction must be in cash.....no checks or money 
orders, just the long green...hi hi. I dont want to have to worry with these 
overseas scam artist that will indubitably tell me they are going to buy it, 
and will be sending me a bank cashiers check.....and will send by their 
Representative to pick up the amp, and deliver my (phony) cashiers check. I 
am wise to those guys.

You may be wondering why anyone would sell a new amp that they just received 
if nothing is wrong with it, well my problem is a huge hospital bill. My 
insurance paid most of the bill, but I still owe a lot of money from my own 
pocket, so that is why I am selling.

You will never find a DX-3 better than this one.
