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!

The Stereo 120 originally came as a kit or assembled. The A stands for assembled, meaning it came that way from the factory. I've no idea what the C stands for.

Use 0000 steel wool to de-rust the chrome and chase it with a clearcoat-safe car wax like Meguiar's Cleaner/Wax. The car wax alone works great on the outside of the crusty rca jacks too. Hey, if you like the Stereo 120 wait til you hear its successor, the Hafler DH200. That's the path I took and enjoyed them both. Love live retro!
