how good is Acrosound TO300?

Hi,

I'm thinking of trying TO300 on my modified Dynaco ST70, I'm wondering
how much it will improve the sound, thanks.

Since nobody has replied yet, I offer the following as possibly useful info. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

You might ask Steve Melkisethian of Angela Instruments -- he used to sell vintage electronics (now he sells kits mostly) and he used to have very complimentary blurbs about vintage Acrosound products. Personally, I had never heard of them except in his catalogue. I think Angela has a website and you can email him. Keep it short and to the point -- it runs in my mind that he sometimes used to grumble about people barraging him with random gear questions.

Hello Chenchen:

Bear in mind that the TO 300 has a 6600 ohm primary while the A470 has a 4300 ohm primary. Also.. if my memory has not failed me... isn't the TO300 only rated for 20 watts output while the A470 is rated for 35 watts.

Both the Dyna and the Acro are fine designs in their own right. Use them smartly and well and either one should suffice in proper application.

In a ST70 amp... personally, I would stick with the A470.

That's right: the TO300 is the wrong trannie for the ST-70. On the
other hand, the TO330 is.
