Really nice gear Mick...

I've been thinking about assembling a Latino ST120. In brief, can you tell me how you would compare the 254 to your ST70?

Completely agree with you about tubes and AZ summers. In the past I've had some beasts like Joule Electra and big CJ monos. Learned my lesson; AC cranking/noisy and still too hot in the listening room.

Of the various mods I performed on my 254, elimination of the gain pots was the biggest and most worthwhile improvement. Most folks determine the ideal gain in their system, measure the pot values and replace with a high quality resistor at the circuit board. In my case it was easy. I'm using a TVC pre and was able to just install a silver wire short in both circuit board positions.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying your 254 as much as I'm enjoying mine.
