    Help Needed with a New VTA-70

    Hello Fellow AK'ers: Well I finally went out and got myself a tube amp! I have never heard one before and the curiosity got the better of me. Had my heart set on an Dyna ST-35 but this VTA-70 came up and the price was right... Looking for some opinions and advice prior to powering it up and...

    Dynakit ST70 Complete restoration Project

    This is the beginning of what is the second phase of a greater project going back several years, that being the initial salvaging of this amplifier after being found stored in a Florida attic for over 40 years.

    Is anyone having any trouble / luck with Triode, USA recently?

    I'm finally scaring up some time to get back to my project queue, and I realized that I never received the 4 Dynaco ST-70 chokes I ordered from Triode, USA back in January. I then realized that I never received a separate ST-70 choke I ordered a few months prior to that for a different project...

I'd like to keep the output transformers under 200. I'm trying to decide between building an "ST-70" with Edcor transformers (probably have to be a...

    ST-70 Custom Died - Where To Start?

    Perhaps I just found why I shouldn't own a tube amp. Music was playing, at low-ish volume. My wife was standing beside the amp and I was looking at her, in conversation. There was no flash, no pop or buzz or noise of any kind. No odors. The music quit playing, the tubes faded. Won't fire...

    Dynaco ST-70 / Mark III / Mark IV - Which board to accept 12ax7?

    I came in possession of a Dynaco ST-70, a Mark IV and two Mark III. I am considering modding these amps, currently using their stock boards, with input boards which would allow me to use 12ax7 and 12au7. I have in fact a good collection of old ones of those and I would like to use them. I...

    Marantz 2245 traded for Eico ST-40 a fair trade?

    I received a call from a friend in Ottawa, Canada, who asked me what I thought about the subject line. He has a small collection of audio gear, and is thinking about swapping his Marantz 2245 in excellent condition, for an Eico ST-40, which looks to be in good shape. He likes both SS and hollow...
