Interesting about the SCA-35 since I have high regard for both Ralph and Rich.
My first stereo included Dynakits which I built, although not the SCA-35. Still, due to nostalgia I read comments on the old Dyna gear from time to time. From that, the one piece of tube gear with the least respect seems to be the SCA-35. So now maybe some of those folks were not well informed.
At some point years ago I ended up with a SCA-35 and FM-3 from some trading. I also had a Lowther corner horn (one channel only) which I used to demo the Dyna components. The first person to come audition them bought them. That may not have pleased a critical audiophile but it certainly was musical. ;^)
