sunnysal Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 the pilot SA-232 or the dynaco st-35? I have heard both but cannot remember which sounded better, also, I never heard them a/b...anyone have arguments about which should be the better amp and why? trannies, circuit topologies, etc.? thanks, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 You've heard both and can't remember; I've heard neither and recommend the Pilot, just from its excellent rep on Audio Asylum. http://home.indy.net/~gregdunn/dynaco/components/ST35/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnysal Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 I had heard that the output trannies on the dynaco st-35 were something truely special... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Tony, Sheesh, the forum ate my post! The guys as diytube, who make an ST-35 like clone, often use the Dynaco trannies for the new model. If you check out their forum, you could ask about the original, but they have some reasons for not liking it (other than they think they make a better version) http://www.diytube.com Cheers, Marvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I'm sure Pilot's output iron is nothin' to sneeze at either...both are good quality vintage American muscle. I doubt you could go wrong with either power amp. Good luck in whichever amp you ultimately chose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Tony, you already know the answer. Both. Tell yourself that you'll sell one. Promptly forget said promise. Works for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Tony, That amp Guy linked you to is in my neck of the woods. The seller said to "come hear it sing." If you're serious and want me to check it out, I'd be more than happy to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkrop Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 You could always tell the wife they are mismatched monoblocks... as long as you don't hook them up AND she doesn't know how to count output trannies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
