Is there a website I can download a Pas3 preamp manual?

There is a selector switch to the upper right side of the volume control. What does that selector do or how do they affect the sound? TIA

Bro, try this link http://www.curcioaudio.com/pas_mnl.pdf

I hope this helps.

My manual says "A blend control, a unique Dynaco feature, permits controllable reduction of the sterephonic effec tin order to eliminate any possibility of a "hole in the middle" which characterizes some types of stereophonic source material."

So the first detent of the control will be normal stereo, the second is narrower and the third is the narrowest sterephonic effect. The fourt detent is mono which is derived as the sum of the A & B channels, next position is A channel mono output and the last position is B channel mono output (The mono signal is outputted on both RCA outpus at the back).

Fire me a PM with your email addy, and I will send you a pdf copy of the manual. HTH.

It is the same manual that Fourplay posted.

The complete explanation for that selector, called "Blend Switch" by Dynaco is on page 4.

Fourplay and Alexq,

Thanks for the help. Have downloaded the Manual. I am very happy with the sound I am getting from this vintage preamp. It seems to synergize quite well with my Dynaco Mk 3.

Great! I'm currently using it with my Dynaco ST-35 and it, too, sounds fabulous.
