Dynakit 70 Stereo Question
Another idea is to send the these amps to Will Vincent he gives you credit for original transformers. Will's Stereo 70 and Triode Stereo 70 are great sounding amplifiers, and his build quality is a work of art...

KIND OF BLUE
After reading the good reviews I ordered again the K2 Kind of Blue. Spend more time listening and it is better than the Legacy 50 year remaster. I was wrong in my first posting. Matching output levels are important. The K2 wins. 
KIND OF BLUE
I ordered the K2 HD Kind of Blue as it was once advertised as a HDCD recording from Music Direct. It is not a HDCD recording and I was refunded. I did compare it to the Columbia Legacy Edition for 13.99 from Amazon which is the 50 year remaster wi... 
Just Ordered...
I have had great results with Quicksilver Mid Mono's, Silver 60's, Will Vincent modded Stereo 70, Will's Triode 70 is awesome and Belles 150A Hot Rod. The Vandersteen model 2 is easy to drive and there are lots of choices. Have fun... 
Belles 150A or keep current amp
I second the Belles 150A. I own the 150 Hot Rod which mates very well with Vandersteens. The older 150A Hot Rodcan be found used from $600-700. I have not heard the 150A Reference. Granted the room is small and even a used pair of Quicksilver amps... 
K2 HDCD Recordings
Music Direct just sent me an RA#. I will be refunded as well. They will also be checking the ad for K2HD recordings. Good people there as Music Direct... 
K2 HDCD Recordings
I just compared the Sony K2HD Kind of Blue to the 50th Anniversity remaster Columbia. The K2HD has higher gain so you need to volume match. I think the Columbia remaster is just as good at 1/4 the price. I did email Music Direct for a ra#. I'll se... 
K2 HDCD Recordings
On Music Direct's site this cd is advertisted as being HDCD. I agree that Music Direct is being careless than deceptive. I should have done more research before ordering as I also ordered Dave Brubect's Time Out.Live and learn I guess... 
Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500?
Great question. Also interested in pairings with newer DAC's. I think the upgrade via asi-tek is pretty rich for a player that on the used market is selling for $1200-1400.But, it would be interesting to hear from anyone that's done this upgrade. ... 
Tube replacement for Dynaco ST 70
Cavy,Will Vincent recommends 1.40mV DC meter for KT66 and EL34 tubes. Just read your post today. Sorry for the late respond. 
Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500?
Audiolabyrinth,Thank you for the comments. Yes, the Ayon used looks like a great player. Ayon has some of the best reviews out there. Not crazy about a top loader. I know I'm late to the game here. But, I'm "slowly" making progress.I like what I h...
