Welcome.  I expect that pictures of that set up would be welcome on the "show your audio system" thread.

OMG --- That ST-120 is eye candy for me.

I built a Dynaco ST-70 from kit back in the 60s. It had pride-of-place in my system for more than a decade, driving a pair of KLH Model Sixes. I still miss the cheery glow of the vacuum-tube filaments.

Welcome aboard.

Regards,
Kent
