Never owned a Dynaco ST35 but my best bud had one back in the day, this with Dynaco speakers in quad setup, Linn LP12, very nice.
I built a Latino ST70 some years ago, adding some of my own mods, this with Merlin VSM. The Art Audio Carissa Signature 845 SET I was running at time was clearly superior.
2nd order harmonic distortion is pleasing to some of us, much prefer that to odd order. In any case, different strokes for different folks.
