RE: Which ST70 complete kit should I build?

Skier, hi. I think the Bob Latino VTA board is a good way to go but would be remiss if I didn't suggest you take a look at what K & K audio is offering for the Dyna Stereo 70. It appears to be a well thought out approach with what might be at least one major sonic advantage. I mention this because the K & K board splits phase on input with a Lundahl transformer. Not having a dynamic phase splitter is an interesting idea for PP. With an input transformer and one dual triode push-pull drive is achieved without the weaknesses of dynamic phase splitting: tube aging, non-linear behavior under dynamic conditions, op points changing as line voltage goes up or down, and so on. The ultimate step might be to incorporate LL 1660S PP in place of RC coupling. Have Fun and Happy Listening.
