In Reply to: RE: confusing--Dyna ST 70, not 120 posted by docw on August 05, 2008 at 10:34:28
This is not, in the commonly understood sense of the word, a Dynaco amp. Dynaco sold a 60 watt tube mono amp, I believe, that was based on the 6550 output tube, called a "Mark III." But these guys don't claim that they're using that circuit on this chassis.
But, to my knowledge, their only stereo tube amp was the Stereo 70, which I built.
The ST-120 was a not particularly good-sounding transistor amp (Dynaco's first). The st-80 (essentially the same amp with a less tightly regulated power supply) sounded better.
So it's kind of confusing that they've chosen to name this product this way. I wonder who -- if anyone -- owns the rights to the Dynaco name and trademark any more?
