    It's venerable Williamson design. Try using an EF86 preamp circuit. If you are careful about your resistors and values you can get near 100 db S/N.
    I started using the Svetlana/Winged C EL34 14 years ago. I stopped a year ago after one too many cathode failures. The Svetlanas used for EH and other companies are good if well matched. Your power x-former was made at the old Allied plant in Chicago -Triodeel sells em. They are great, but feed them no more than 117 VAC!!

      At 60 Hz, you have a little more latitude than at 50 Hz. The higher line frequency makes the power transformer less susceptible to core saturation.

    This amp is not really a Dynaco ST70 other than it being called that for some similar style architecture. This is a FAR SUPERIOR amp to the Dynaco ST70 in that it has far superior iron that is heftier and had a power transformer that delivers much more current. Roman's amp also has a much better driver stage than the original 7199 version was and it has more filtering and separate bias pots for each tube. Nice amp!

  • @BixLives32
    @BixLives32 12 лет назад

    Same here, but I use EF86's as they're quieter. 12AU7 to split the phase. Look for the new ST70 power x-former made at the old Thoradsen factory in Chicago -35% more current (better bass). Also make sure you don't allow more than 120VAC in to the amp. 110-117 VAC is the correct range. Have you blow a few Sovtek rectifiers? If so, dats why. (the Ruby's hold up better) Also, above 120VAC your B+ and cathode voltages won't be right. You can also burn up EL34s. Winged-Cs aint cheap!

  • @erwinflores6364
    @erwinflores6364 9 лет назад +3

    modified version using 12ax7 as input driver then 12au7 for driver stage......the original st70 uses 7199 penthode triod tubes.

  • @GringoMuchachos
    @GringoMuchachos 12 лет назад +2

    If you want a more neutral sound (EL34 gives a more brighter tone), and a better bass, yes go with 6L6 tubes or 6L6GC version.

    @psbits 11 лет назад

  • @BixLives32
    @BixLives32 12 лет назад

    Triode Electronics -on web. Get the EF86 pre-amp. Make sure you get the new power x-former (35% more current). You might also consider modding for 6L6s -they are a BEAM pentodes and might sound a tad cleaner. But the winged-C EL34 is GOOD. Don't waste big $ on snooty plate caps or speaker wire. They're 100% snake oil. For $50 get the APC 600, This will regulate your mains to 110VAC. Above 120 VAC, you'll be replacing 5AR4s & EL34s weekly. Use phenolic, NOT Chinese sockets! :)

    I have an original Mk1 model completely overhauled, the midrange sounds awesome but there are some issues with the treble & bass response, the sound got way better when i replaced the Heathkit valve pre with a Radford SC22 & then improved vastly again with a cable upgrade to Chord company Cobra phono & Chord speaker cable, I still have bass & treble issues & if anything the cable & pre-amp upgrade has exasperated the flaws in the original ST70 design... next move is the Alan Kimmel upgrade kit.

    The hi end sounds a bit harsh. You may want to use a higher-end preamp to smooth things out. I've heard this amp in person and it's just AWESOME!

  • @andwestuk
    @andwestuk 12 лет назад +5

    If you`ve heard this amp in person and it sounds awesome should`nt that tell you the reason this sounds harsh is because of this sound clip being recorded with a very very cheap mic on a cheap camera !!!!! Even the most expensive mics have difficulty reproducing proper bass

    Considering a Micro Seiki DD-40 myself. Apparently it's pretty good at rejecting speaker resonances, considering it's sitting on the same shelf as your speakers. Bad practice, but good demonstration of the TT's abilities :-).

    Very good! What Svetlana are you using it? SED (Winged C) or Svetlana (from Sovtek)? Both are almost identical aesthetically.

  • @PapawCulberson
    @PapawCulberson 11 лет назад

    IMHO - that amp would sound better with Sovtek 6L6WXT+ power tubes or Gold Lion KT66's - especially when pushing the amp - the GL KT-66's would sound better at higher volumes due to the fact that they are cleaner sounding tubes at higher volumes.
