Buying an Amp Just to Reverse Engineer?

[FUCHSAUDIO]

"Semi-Authorized" sounds like the whole project received the 'blessings,' approval, and knowledge of Dynaco and David Haffler. Do you have the Semi authorized information from someone affiliated with the old Dynaco company or this conjecture?

What I mean is they likely bought (which some other companies in the pro-sound and studio business did also) the insides from Dynaco directly. From what I recall, the MK-III power amp chassis I saw appeared factory made. So did the preamp chassis, except it had a Sunn panel over it. I doubt they would buy retail, only to resell, but who knows ? I'm doubting David Hafler cared, as long as he sold product. I doubt Dyna cared what people did with their stuff.

Hi,

That would make sense, a company doesn't care at the end of the day so long as there is positive cash flow and your clientele aren't in direct competition for your main bread and butter product.

Best Regards,
