These tube power amplifiers were built from scratch or rebuilt from the bare chassis with all new parts except as described. Parts and labor are guaranteed for 30 days, and any unmodified amplifier will be guaranteed for a year (owner covers parts and shipping). You will get a fully tested and properly functioning amplifier and you get support from me after the sale. All amplifiers include a complete quality tube set. All amplifiers are electrically grounded with a three wire cord and fused.
All amplifiers are tested for flat frequency response, low harmonic and intermodulation distortion, stability, and noise performance. Each amplifier is "ear-tested" for an extended period as well.
I pack very carefully using lots of foam padding. No amplifiers have been damaged in shipment because I don't trust to luck.

Comments about My Amps
From Craig, who owns several of my amps: "The amps were meticulously assembled and sound tremendous. They really produce. Packed full of the traditional lush tube sound with singing highs and warm glassy mids, but with a surprisingly tight low end that one would not expect from a tube amp. They arrived quickly inside bomb-proof packing. Thanks for the fantastic monoblocks."
Another customer remarks: "Please feel free to quote me about excellent build quality and craftsmanship. Truly fine. (I am an aviation Inspector with electrical certs.) I have spent many hours now with this amp. I am even more glad that I bought it. Very fine tone and range. Good sound stage. Thank you"
Another customer: "I just got the chance to unpack the Mark III's. What excellent packing!!! ... I'm pleased with their performance. They are quiet through my La Scalas. That's saying quite a bit."

Sold Amplifiers
Dynaco ST-70, $500
All new parts except chassis and original A470 cloth lead output transformers. VTA low-gain driver board, Triode heavy-duty power transformer, new tubes including NOS GE 12AU7 input, EH EL34 and EH 12AU7 phase splitters. Large 320 microfarad reservoir feeding output tube plates. JJ GZ-34 rectifier for gentle warm-up, protected by SS diodes. Great sound with solid bass.
Low gain means amp is dead silent and rather immune to ground loops but it needs a preamp capable of 2V output. Amp is fully tested with test equipment and the feedback loop is adjusted for low THD, clean square waves, flat frequency response, and stability. Run in for about 80 hours.
Used steel chassis has some marks and pits, and clear Krylon overcoat has some light marks. Brand new stainless bottom plate. Custom cover for VTA driver board for safety. Overall - a well-priced amp for those who value excellent sound and careful construction above perfect cosmetics.

Really nice pair of Dynaco Mark IIIs
A-431 cloth lead output transformers, new Dynakitparts power transformers, new Dynakitparts 550V filter capacitors, and new C354 chokes. Great sounding VTA 12AT7 driver boards. One amp has EH 6550's, the other EH KT88's. These output tubes look and sound identical to me. These amps produce a clean 55 watts per channel, and the operating voltage is safely below the filter capacitor ratings. Completely tested and run-in.
Excellent Dynakit ST-70 SOLD VTA all triode driver board, new high-capacity Dynakitparts power transformer, cloth-lead A470 output transformers. Winged C EL34 output tubes.
