Tommylion ..That Nutcracker I led you to on Amazon isn't the budget version, its the version Robert brought over. Honestly, its a CD that should be in every classical music lover's collection. OP

Dynaco PAS - Beautiful restoration, upgrades, and repairs
^^^ I had a modified Dyna Pas III in the system years ago along with two Dyna 70's that were highly modified, converted to mono and then strapped for stereo. They drove a pair of Acoustat IV's. It was one of the most musical systems I've ever put ...
