Hi, Tom, Does the Luxman have a mono switch? Steve -----Original Message----- From: Tom Fine Sent: Monday, December 23, 2013 8:33 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARSCLIST] Two nice, working pieces of vintage audio gear It's time to clear out some space in the listening room. So I am offering the following for sale, below eBay prices. 1. Luxman C-1010 Preamp. Original manual, warranty card and brochure included. This was a very good example of Japanese solid-state engineering in the mid-70s. The phono section offers many options, there are robust and flexible tone controls, and the overall sound is clean and sharp. Facilities for two tape decks, too. In good, working condition. Cosmetically nice. Never abused, in fact lightly used by original owner and then lightly used by me. It sounds good, very quiet and accurate. Photos here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55748706/Luxman%20C-1010.zip These have recently sold on eBay for the $450 range (without original documentation and brochure). I'm asking $400 plus shipping. 2. Dynaco ST70 Power amplifier. This amp has been rebuilt and re-wired and it works and sounds very good. It features the DIYTube driver board, which is a better design than original, a better circuit board than Dynaco's flimsy originals, and uses readily available tubes. It also features the SDS Labs power supply board (new capacitors, more uf of filter caps, better filament supply). The chrome exterior is less than perfect, but someone really concerned about that can get it re-chromed. After restoration, this amp was burned in and used for a few dozen hours. It sounds good, typical nice Dynaco output transformers make for suprisingly quick and clear sound from a tube amp. The beefed up power supply helps with bass transients (no sag). Full 35 tube watts per channel can drive most speakers at comfortable listening levels. Photos here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55748706/Dynaco-ST70.zip Un-modified and un-restored Dynaco ST70s have sold for $450-550 recently on eBay. I'm asking $400 plus shipping. Ping me off-list if interested. -- Tom Fine
