Dynaco stuff seems to have a cult following among audiophools these days, more so then EICO or Heath audio stuff, I have no idea why. Most of that kit stuff was made to a price, you would get an excellent part like the output transformer, but then they would skimp on something else like the power transformer. This was why a lot of these things used imported tubes like Mullard or Telefunken types, it had nothing to do with sound quality. In the 1950s and 60s a lot of Canadian radios and TVs used imported tubes and imported capacitors like TCC and Hunts, the Canadian dollar was worth more then not only a U.S dollar but also more then a British pound. Up until the Japanese stuff started flowing in most of the cheap stuff came from Britain.
