C8 power from ST70?

jonperry

Hi Fi Nerd
Hello Folks,
I’m looking at a set of C8/C8s preamps and would like to know if I can power these using the octal cables to my Dynaco ST-70? I’m aware the plugs can power a set of PAM-1 Preamps but am not sure if the Macs would be compatible. Although I love the look and sound of the C8s, I’m not sure I want to go down an expensive rabbit hole for 2 separate power supplies.
Thank in advance for your time and the info.
Regards,
JP

There's heater reserve on each socket for 2× 12AX7 in the PAM, 1 more per may be pushing things without the added B+ loading of the C8, so, probably not.
 
Using the higher capacity power transformer for a VTA ST-120, with a solid state rectifier for B+, could make an ST-70 compatible with them.
