This is a very, very rare amp from Dynacord. Dynacord was founded in 1945 (the brand name appeared later in 1948). The company started with smaller amplifiers and cinema amps and became famous for its musical instrument amps and public address systems. A great history can be found (also in English) at www.dynacord.de. The HiFi / stereo amps made by Dynacord are ultra rare and I have only seen the “Concert” tube amp once in over 20 years. Obviously the "Concert" was also sold as ST14 as I was told from Sweden. |

The “Concert” is a 12 watts/channel integrated amp using EL84s in PP mode with ECC83 driver stage. The input and driver stages are mounted on a printed circuit board (of good quality) and – gooood – the output tube sockets on the chassis. The power supply uses selenium rectifiers, which are a better solution than the EZ81 tube Dynacord used in the other Dynacord stereo amp ST12 for 4 EL84 tubes… |

The amp’s optical design is very German and reminds on Braun or Wega equipment from this period. The chassis of the amp is pretty solid and seems to be derived from their famous “Eminent” EL34 tube amp. The other close relationship to Dynacord’s professionel equipment is shown by the employment of two high quality input transformers (made by Sennheiser) in the microphone input section (see below). |
