Dynaco owners please comment

I recently bought a Dynaco 120c and wondered is there any differences in the models. I have noticed some with the A series on them.Also I'am very impressed by the quality of these vintage amps and wondered why I have spent more money and not gotten the sound quality of this 60 wpc amplifier.These little amps are not embarassed by SS amps in the 3K to 4K range IMO.Since I have owned a few in this range I think it's a fair judgment.Also what do you guys use to keep the chrome on these amps looking good ? I think I'am hooked and will have to have the whole dynaco setup.Anybody looking for a SS or tube amp owes it to themselves to try one of the dynaco models out before spending more! David Hafler rest in peace! Thanks for any and all comments!

Just a guess, but your 120C may be an upgraded or modified unit (or perhaps a later version). I recall Panor (sp) selling various revised Dynaco models in the past 10 years (tube amps/preamps and something based on the SS 150, I think).

I am not familiar with a "C" version of the 120.

Could also stand for chrome VS nickel plate.

Let us know if you find out further info on the 120C.

I was not impressed with the original 120 amp, though it did receive positive pro reviews. For SS I liked the sound of the Citation 12 and the little Marantz amp (may have been the model 12).
