Dynaco PAS-4 preamp

Yes, it's from the Panor Dyna years, when Panor got control of the name. They were formerly Stereo Cost Cutters. Good build quality and nice sound as you point out.

Panor made a few tube amps as well. The Dyna ST70 MKii was a bit of a turkey, IMHO. Primarily because they used the input filters that were forwarded by Frank Van Alstine and they choked the amp at the input. They made a mono, M60 that was quite nice and some solid state amps and preamps as well.

I stand corrected--my apologies!

Here is a link to the owner's manual, provided by that fabulous Dyna expert Bob Latino:

I hope that helps.

I owned a PAS-4 for about 18 months. It was a great sounding pre when you put in good tube, I was using Amperex Orange Globes and the pre sung. When I upgraded I got a ARC LS15.

Mktracy,I have a backup Van Alstine 4si and Amperex Orange Globes are the bomb on it as well. Haven't seen any in a long time .
