ST 70 best sounding version?

I was searching for the link that rodman provided. I have not heard the new series 3, but it is selling for $1,500 when its price when it was introduced just a couple of years ago was $3,000, so it was obviously not too popular.

So bear in mind I have not heard it or any of the modded ones, but it is the one I would purchase. I do have the original ST70 with the desirable cloth lead transformers (I think that what they were referred to as), an original with the Japanese sourced transformers and a series 2 made by the Panor corporation. I just purchased another amp and will be putting these up for sale when I get around to it since I don’t need them all.

The latest issue of TAS has a review of a new version of the ST70. Looks pretty impressive! 

And I just let my TAS subscription expire, in November. I’d have enjoyed reading that review. 

For the same price, you can get a used Music Reference RM-10, a real nice 35w/ch honey of a tube amp. A much better amp than the ST70, which has some serious design deficiencies.

thanks bdp24 agree - I've had a RM10 in my primary system since 2011:)
