Hi
Don Sachs here. Someone posted above that they have my version of the Bob Latino kit. Ummmmmmmm, no. There is not really anything in common between the Latino kits and my amp. The kits are great bang for the buck. About all they have in common with mine is that they are both KT88 push pull amps. Mine is built cost no object. It has epoxy potted toroid power and output transformers, fully independent REGULATED high voltage supplies for each channel, VCap ODAM coupling caps, premium wire and resistors, fully auto biasing, etc.... The Latino kits are great value and great amps, but mine really has nothing in common. Well maybe his also has an octal front end with long-tailed pair, but mine has a CCS tail. I mean really, they are completely different amps and priced accordingly. I know which one I would prefer to listen to:)
