Dynaco ST-35:

Hey Kenny.  Been playing with the amp all morning.  It's quite good!  I honestly wasn't expecting it to be so small but that's not an issue, it sounds fantastic.  We do have one problem though.  What do I do with my other amps now that this one has kicked them to the curb?  Seriously, I've been swapping in and out gear this morning and comparing and I'm firmly believing that this little ST35 has outperformed my small solid state amp and my single ended 6L6 amp with very high end parts used throughout.  I wasn't expecting there to be this big of a difference between them for sure, much less embarrass them by how much more real and musical the ST35 sounds.  It's kind of revelatory.  Having dabbled in "high end" for quite a while it takes a lot for a product to impress me and even out of the gate this morning and the very few hours I've got on it, it's already proving itself to be an exceptional piece.

ST-70 Tube Amplifier:

Several weeks ago I purchased two Dynaco ST-70 from Kenny. He discussed potential options with reference to upgrades and then went about building both units quickly and with extreme precision - as I waited for the day when they would arrive. In the interim, Kenny provided diagrams that explained how to configure the amps as mono blocks. The amps arrived in less than three weeks. They were well packed and beautiful to see upon unboxing. After installing the tubes, getting the speaker wires hooked up, and plugged in the power - it was time to see them light up. And light up they did. Within a couple of moments, out came sweet beautifully separated stereo music owing to the mono block configuration. The notes, chords, vocals, strings and any other instrument playing through my Klipsch's were crisp and clear in ways I had never heard before. I quickly learned the meaning of listening to music though tube amps. I suddenly knew why I had wanted a tube amp for years. Wonderful, staggering, mind blowing, heavenly, precise, and real. In the end, there was nothing more to ask for...These amps sound great!!!!

Dynaco MKIII pair and PAS Preamplifier:

We got home last night I just had to hear "Tennessee Whiskey," with my buddy's sound fresh in my ears. My wife and daughter witnessed me being reduced to tears. It's the definition of Eureka! I have found it! The perfect sound I have been searching for my entire life. It's finally in my living room, the search is over. The Experience is now at my fingertips. There's a power threshold I was never able to meet before...where the volume is too loud for comfort, yet still crystal clear, with bass as intimidating as the footsteps of Godzilla. I'm there now, I had my ears ringing yesterday. I got some stuff to do this morning, then we'll see what music the afternoon calls for. I do not intend to treat the Experience casually, I must approach it with gratitude and give it my full attention. I won't even attempt to describe it with audiophile superlatives...

WOW! Blown away. I haven’t had a chance to set the new beast up until today. Man, does it sound fantastic.

Dynaco ST-35:

The system sounds amazing. I have so much work to do still because I literally have not been able to get up from my chair for hours. I keep putting on just one more song and then one more after that. Thank you for everything. You’re the best.

Dynaco ST-35:

Kenny, this is insane. How did you do this? May I ask if you built a ST-T 70 with no holds barred, how much better could it get compared to what I am experiencing now? All I can say is wow!

PAS Preamplifier: 

The Dynaco PAS-3 preamplifier sounds great  and is perfect match with my amplifier. I really enjoy listening to vinyl with this setup. The build quality of the preamplifier is top notch and looks great inside and out. Great communication and customer service.

Dynaco ST-70:

This was a 100%, 5 star transaction. The amp was shipped promptly, the packaging was beyond excellent. One could tell a lot of care and thought was put into insuring the package would arrive damage free. There was even a follow up conversation concerning the proper set up and other important information. Seller was friendly and helpful in every way. I will certainly seek out this seller for any future dynaco or tube amp concerns. Not to mention, the amp sounds wonderful! Thanks!

Dynaco ST-70:

Absolutely love my unit! This has got to be the greatest customer experience I've had in years. The communication was timely and accurate. I never felt pressured or thought I was being "sold something". The Dynakit based Preamp PAS-3(M) sounds amazing. It's the perfect combination of Vintage and New technologies.
