Title: Need some advice
Post by: boleary on March 01, 2013, 01:38:05 pm
Several days ago I replaced the vintage speaker terminals, old school screws, with some decent binding posts in my 1963 Dynaco amp. Aditionally I installed a toggle switch in place of the original sliding switch that I use to bypass the integrated side of the amp. Overall SQ became a bit more silky smooth, yet with all the detail we have come to expect form the NOS1/XXhighend combo. BUT, suddenly my sound stage is a "mono ball" compressed between the speakers! Am hoping that it will open back up as the new wiring/soldering connections break in. Do you think so or did I royally screw up? I was only able to give the amp about a 45 minute listen and have been traveling since. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Maybe you have it always on and now it was off for too long and needs real heating up again (like with Black Gate capacitors) ?
