I like the Latino amps because you can run everything from 6L6s,EL37s,EL34s,KT66s,and even KT88s for brief periods in the ST70.The problem is the heat factor in Arizona but I would build an ELcheapo Grande before the ST35 because it will run cooler and to me it sounds better.I had the pleasure of hearing one with Scott 222 output transformers and it was driving a pair of ADS 780s and I never dreamed that much sound would come out of that amp..He was running pentode tho.

Thanks Mike for taking the time to look.

I'm WELL past the point of DIYing a project. I just want a complete box of parts with clear instructions. A good design with quality parts. I just wanna have fun building. Not developing and sourcing. In all honesty I seem to be well into the listening portion of the hobby. With less tweaking and fooling around that typically ends in blow equipment anyway.

I'm going to order the Latino 70 with EL34 tubes at some point this month.

Making predictions about anything is always difficult, but in particular when predictions are about the future.

As predictions go out T, T=1, T+2,.... the error rate increases exponentially.

A prediction applying 30 years from now is all but impossible to make accurately. Think not only about the huge errors in this movie, but also how 2015 was envisioned from the perspective of the year 1985 in Back to the Future Part II. OK, we did get big window-sized flat panel devices, but cars were supposed to be able to fly and we see a host of other technologies that never happened. WE DID get restaurants with ipads and smart phones, only hinted at in the BTTF movie.

Take a look at the electronics. It shows some flat panel screens, but everything, oddly, stayed at old fashioned 4:3 not 16:9, and by modern standards they look thick and clunky.

Will polar bears be extinct a mere 30 years from now as many are certain? I would not place a bet on that one either!

Why people think they can make accurate predictions on any subject 30 years out completely eludes me, and the very brightest minds are no better than the rest of us at doing this. The people that scare me the most are those who claim to have somehow developed complex computer models that can do this.

But thanks for sharing that - a great look back at a look to the future. Funny how some of the predictions came true, some not so much. Interesting that it looks like they walked into an IKEA store in 2015 to get the props for the home interior in 1967.
