Dynaco Stereo 70
Stereo Power Amplifier (1971-17)
Description
The Dynakit Stereo 70 is a complete dual 35 watt power amplifier kit which offers the highest possible fidelity, at low cost and in a compact arrangement.
It uses a patented circuit of outstanding performance characteristics, along with top quality parts, including the new Dynaco Super-Fidelity A-470 transformers - the finest available.
The measured specifications show that the Stereo 70 is an amplifier of unequalled performance, and its listening quality is also unrivalled by any regardless of price.
This amplifier has characteristics and power rating ideal for either stereophonic or monophonic use. The two non-interacting 35 watt channels provide adequate power, in a stereophonic or two channel system, for loudspeakers of any level of efficiency.
The channels can be paralleled for a full 70 watts of low distortion output, suitable for practically any monophonic use even where several loudspeakers are in use in different areas.
The high power capability and low internal impedance provide excellent damping for all types of high quality speaker systems without need to make adjustments to match specific speaker installations.
The design features of your Dynakit which contribute to its superior listening quality include some which are not revealed by the customary steady-state laboratory measurements.
For example, it does not exhibit bounce and flutter when pulsed with a transient signal. Thus a sharp percussive signal like a drum beat or a piano note will be reproduced with sharpness and clarity and neither overhang nor muddiness.
The Stereo 70, unlike many other amplifier circuits, has been designed to provide its specified performance on a loudspeaker load, not just under laboratory measuring conditions. Therefore, the connection of a loudspeaker to the amplifier does not deteriorate its performance or listening quality.
In addition, due to the high quality of the output transformers used, the Dynakit's power handling capabilities are maintained over the entire audio band without the sharp rise in distortion which characterizes most amplifiers at the extremes of high and low frequencies.
