I won't get into the sweet sound debate, which is subjective, but the Heathkit UA2 monoblock was a very fine EL84 amp, more conservatively designed and operated, did not have the problems that the ST-35 had, and did not require extensive redesign/rebuild. I known that Dave O'Brien, who conducted the McIntosh clinics, had a high opinion of the UA1 and 2, and had a chart of it in his book as an example of an excellent competitor's amp.
I don't recall doing it back in the day -- probably because I wasn't much impressed with the ST-35 -- but I would be confident putting a pair of stock UA2s up against whatever has been done with the ST-35.
