I bought a couple of Dynaco MK IIIs from a friend many years ago, when I was just learning to solder. Holco resistors and MIT Multicaps (I used RTX Polystyrene Film & Foil) were all the rage in magazine reviews at the time. Any equipment which came with them installed just had to be a winner. Money was tight back then, but I was going to transform these (otherwise stock) Dynaco amps by using some magic parts.
When I was done there were some improvements, but nothing like the transformation I was expecting. The money spent on parts was worth it, if only for the lesson learned.
