Hi Ya'll,
I recently purchased a Scott 299b rebuilt by NOSvales a few years ago. I LOVE it with my Forte I/Crites mods.
That said, a Bob Latino VTA ST-70 has come up locally, and there's a tubes4hifi preamp available out there in the ether. I've heard such good things about this combination, but I have a hard time imagining it being THAT much better than the Scott. There is also higher cost, but I could swing it if the benefits were significant enough.
Has anyone out there heard both, or at least the Latino ST-70 with a pre against a Scott?
Much obliged, Rob
