Hi all:
I'm new to this board -- I joined basically because I have a wired VTA ST-70 on the way, and wanted to get more knowledge about it.
However....the VTA ST-70 will be replacing a ~40-year-old Dynaco -- and I thought rather than selling the Dynaco off, I'd try my hand at doing a little cleanup and modification on it.
So...what I'd like to do is install the tubes4hifi octal driver board. But from my reading, it's my understanding that the octal driver and the stock Dynaco power transformer are not well-matched, and that I'd need an upgraded power transformer.
So my question is this -- where could I get an adequate power transformer? Would the PA060 from dynakitparts do it, or would I need something a bit beefier? One other question: are there any other things I should replace? I was thinking with a new power transformer, maybe a new multi-section capacitor too.
Thanks in advance
Doug
