Vintage Power Amp vs new age power amp

I bought a used but new(er) Dynakit ST-70 here at Audiogon,The original owner got it from tubes4hifi.com you can get them new or build them yourself.

It has the VTA driver board,with decent tubes this amp has pleased me more than the Accuphase P-300, E202 P500 (bleck!) and Forte 4a, Wyred4sound st-250, Quicksilvers and a bunch of other great amps.

I paid $600 for it and it's a keeper. I now only run vintage tube amps from the 60's and 50's, it's the sound I've always been looking for. I have a H.H Scott 222D and Eico HF 22 monoblocks that are also top self, they will have to be pried out of my cold dead hands...

I recommend you go vintage restored tube amp, like the Scott 222 or others with great reps. plus they're dam cool!

My 2 cents

I too will put up my Eico HF 22 monos against any amps $10,000 or less.
Metman, I think it's the old vintage Iron too.

The Eico's will blow your hifi mind, I will tell you something else also, I squeezed even more goodness out of the 22's by putting in these great sounding Shuguang 5Z3PAT I got off ebay for $19.99 and free shipping! these thing are stupendous sounding rectifiers!
Also, There is a seller selling matched quads of SHUGUANG VACUUM TUBES 6L6GC RARE COKE BOTTLE, I get them for 21.99 a quad!! and they are great, beating my really good Gold lion KT66 I have and like...I dare you to try them and tell me what you think! I'm in hifif heaven these days.
