Just picked up Hi-Fi world, the word is out on these dynavox amps,
although its quoted at £400 from Aff. Valve aka Lim! Ive also noticed
that he's doing a modified version (Svets & 4 silver mica caps) for
alot more money. Oh well, it was nice whilst it lasted!


Interesting

Firstly, I notice there aren't so many on eBay now - just one at silly money
atm (£105 and 3 days to go - see Auction No. 3856161918) and secondly the
Dynavox was advertised at £250 by the Affordable Valve Co in HFW only a
month or two ago!!

I have just changed the valves in one of mine (JJ Tesla EL34s and NOS
Mullard ECF82 driver/splitters) and have to say it's a significant
improvement over the Chinese valves. The sound is much 'rounder' and
'fuller' now with a very strong bass - the Chinese valves are good but have
a slightly 'glassy' overlay to the sound with a somewhat less well-defined
bass.

What *does* make these amps sit up is feeding them from an active Line
Stage - I've got an EAR834L going into the Dynavox and it's like the bloody
thing is on steroids now!!
