I own a Rocket 88R coupled to a passive preamp and speakers with 87db sensitivity. Dead quiet. I almost bumped my head into the tweeter trying to hear something. No noise. I've read elsewhere that the Rocket is known to be pretty noise-free with even higher sensitivity speakers.
No experience with the Dynaco's, see a lot of rebuilt ones here. But at what used Rockets are going for, it's almost a shame to get such a well made amp for so little coin.
