Dynaco MVP-100 Pre amp

I've seen one of these advertised and wondering if it would be a good sonic match for my ST70 . Does anyone know anything about this pre, I don't want to bother unless it is a good preamp in its own right.

I can't find any useful info anywhere so I'm depending on a super-geek being able to help here.

Here's one for sale in Hungary right now:

You can look at some more external pictures, at least...

my guess is those are just standard 12AU7 type tubes, and it probably sounds alot better than a PAS3, but no phono section. Any tube preamp that works is probably worth $250 since a junk PAS3 costs that much.

Roy is essentially correct. Here's a link below to Canuck Audiomart where there was (it's been sold) a new in box MVP-100 for sale. The seller stated that it "comes with a pair of Philips military grade 12AX7 tubes."

Thanks for the info ... Those tubes are 12AX7's. I don't know. I guess from the angle of the photo that tube looked a little "fatter" than normal sort of like a compactron tube instead of a 12AX7 tube ..

Bob, I thought the same as you at first. I could even see six of the pins in the left-hand tube, making me think there must be twelve instead of nine. Like you said, it was probably the angle of the photo.

Thanks you guys. It was, in fact, the Hugarian one I was interested in. Taking on board what you have just told me, I think it's overpriced.
Thanks Again
