At least he manned up to it! I give him credit for that.

Most of us would use denial - Well if Bob didn't use such clear instructions I wouldn't have gotten so confused in the first place.

That could happen to anybody.

I was commenting on the conflicting comments in his "review".

For example, if I said:

"The service at the new restaurant was excellent. The waiter forgot my wife's appetizer and charged us for a bottle of wine we never ordered."

You wouldn't question that dichotomy?

  Ok fair enough

    If the original poster had put up a regular post about his experiences, I'd never have commented. But he chose to write a review , which I think deserves more attention to details, clarity, etc. than a standard post. For example, it's too bad the review didn't contain a link to the VTA Dynaco site where he apparently purchased the amp, instead of a Dynaco history site. Again, details.
    
    That said, I'm glad he got his kit working, and think it's great that Bob Latino went the extra mile to help out a customer. I hope the amp meets his every expectation, and gives him a long, trouble free experience.

      Having just finished the VTA ST-70 myself I can attest that Bob Latino puts out a TOTL kit product. The parts are all high quality and the engineering design I believe takes this amp far beyond it's original potential.
      I also wish that the OP review would have mentioned that these amps are NOT their fathers old Dynaco amps. They are what I would consider some of the best tube amps available. Regardless of it's kit status.
      I plan on posting my review of my VTA ST-70 in about a week or two. I want to edit it with the due respect the amp/kit deserves.
