In Reply to: Well, I own a Dynaco SCA-35 ... posted by Crazy Dave on February 19, 2015 at 10:55:07:
Have not heard SCA-35 but I have had many PAS pre's and with most of the vintage pre's the switches are quirky, pots are usually worn or crackly plus it always seemed to me the PAS was rolled off in the bass of the phono section especially. With a simple DIY modern tube line stage I think you could easily beat the complicated designs of yesteryear.
I almost like the ST35 except I am not sure about the original solid state rectifier sound.
Maybe there are some guys out there that could chime in who know of some high voltage modern diodes that are closer in sound to a tube rectifier?
