Doc,
Bob's ST120 is just a beefed up ( via larger transformers )version of his ST 70. It's rated output is 60 wpc as opposed to 40 in his ST 70. The ST 120 is also limited to the use of the 6550 family of output tubes. No relation to the old Dyna sand amp, despite being called ST120.

  Then why call it Dyna, anyway?

    Kal,
    You'll have to ask Bob Latino about the " ST 120 " designation. Trust me when I say I had nothing to do with it.

    having owned a real Dynaco ST-120 thirty some years ago. The guy should call it something different.

      He probably should. I wonder about the legality of this eventhough Dynaco is no longer around and many tube amps ARE still based on the Dynaco circuit, might as well call it what it is I suppose. I see the words Dynaco and Marantz pop up when I see descripions of the Chinese amps acoustic sounds sells.

        Who would want to buy a Dynaco ST-120 today? That would be like calling your new car the Vega!

    I apologize if I named or classified the amp incorrectly. If you follow the link you can see exact nomenclature used by Bob Latino. My fault.
    
    I am a newb on this site and I have enjoyed reading around. But it was a bit difficult to write a review without using the site first. I think this is my first real post.

    • Dynaco ST 120 is the correct description... - docw 14:01:20 08/05/08 (0)

      of the old 60's SS amp, which we owned (family) to drive AR 3a's. I sold it later, got a Hafler DH 200 a few years later. But we have the matching PAT 4a still in a box in the garage.
      
      A bright clean sounding SS amp, nothing like the ST 70 modded to this new amp, a modded ST 70. Competitor then was the HK Citation 12, a much darker sounding amp.
      
      No issue, it's just that the title on the site shows as a tubed modded ST 120??? Or at least that's how it seems to us when we saw the review title. The review was good, and it seems to be an intriguing product.

      I see but, although the name seems to have been assumed by the company, the design under discussion was not an original product and the use of the name Dynaco may be legal but imho misleading.
