Well, only stored. With temps topping out at 118-120 all week it was finally time to unhook the Latino ST-70. At least until around October or late September. But don't worry because I hooked up the Sherwood S-5000 in it's place - oh I love that stereo! Yes it's tubes but it puts out far less heat. In between I like to rotate my Conrad Johnson Classic 2SE preamp and fully restored Marantz 250M power amp. Kind of a Spring Fall type setup. I also have a NAD C275BEE power amp. However that actually puts out as much heat as the ST-70. It's a cooker! |

The ST70 should have been the ST50. It is not a legitimate 35 wpc amp. |
