Due to the post-earthquake repairs my main system is now covered with sheets and inactive for a period of five to six weeks...I have taken the opportunity to send my Dynaco MKIV amps to the states for some upgrade work...New caps, better 1% resistors, better binding posts, etc. the most important change of all will be the mod to triode operation...halves the power but who needs more than 25-30 watts per channel with k-horns anyway! though I miss the listening (all listening now done with grado headphones in my bedroom) I am very anxious to hear my amps in triode mode! anyone out there have experience with taking these PP amps to Triode? regards, tony

I must agree with Mark and his comments about Dyna's in Triode mode. I too have a ST-70 running triode at about 12 wpc. It simply makes music on my Scala's. I had the mod done years ago using high quality parts,(caps,resistors,inputs,binding posts,etc). I have had many amps come and go in the last 6 years, but this is one little gem that is not going to get away from me.

I can only imagine what your mono's are going to sound like on your K-horns. The anticipation must be killing you. I promise it will be worth the wait. Joe
