Brand: Dynaco
The Dynaco Stereo 120 is a vintage tube amplifier designed by Ted Egan and manufactured by Dynakit in the 1950s and 1960s. It is a 35-watt per channel amplifier that uses four EL84 output tubes and four 6J5 (ECC82) and two 12AX7 (ECC81) tubes for the preamp and driver stages, respectively. The Stereo 120 is known for its warm, rich, and detailed sound, midrange clarity, and high-frequency extension, making it a favorite among audiophiles and music lovers. However, it also requires careful handling, and some maintenance due to its design and components, which can be sensitive to age, wear, and moisture. As a result, many collectors and DIY enthusiasts undertake restoration and modification projects to preserve and enhance the performance of these classic amplifiers.
