vixr, that's the glossiest heatsink I've ever seen!

Finaly received replacement for lm317 as ccs in my amp - two heatsink mounted Caddock mp930 20ohm 30w non-inductive power film resistors in to220 package. No modification was needed, it fits perfectly. Awesome parts.

A freshly completed Dynaco ST-70 :)


 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 



The kit is from Bob Latino of Tubes4HiFi. I snuck in a few little upgrades too, including:

Teflon Tube Sockets and PCBs
Kimber TCSS wiring
Cardas RCAs / Binding Posts / Input wire
Kiwame / Takman Resistors
Mundorf Coupling Caps
Nichicon 100uF Electrolytics
Pilot light
Teflon solder strip for pentode / triode switch wiring
Heavy Duty On/Off Switch
Custom brass input and name labels
IEC Plug

The tube compliment is Sylvania JAN input tubes, Winged C output tubes and Sovtek rectifier.


One thing I realized during this build is that 16 gauge stainless steel is a b*tch difficult to work with :wink: Other that that, it was a fairly easy build and a nice recommendable kit. The sound is lush and very engaging 


amazing.  Ive got a Pas3 would love to have a ST70 accompany it one day.  Great looking work.

HiGHFLYiN9 that amp looks awesome! Have you considered adding like a hexagon steel net over the exposed pcb (in the same colour as the enclosure or black). Don't get me wrong I do love your design it was just a thought.

Thanks :) I have seen that look, Will Vincent, who restores Dynacos, does that.
 

 
I'm not sure that it adds or detracts from the almost trademark dynaco exposed PCB, that's why I hadn't pursued it, but it may be worth trying down the line :)
