I liked the original VTA ST70 (12AT) from the start. After a few weeks of run in, it proved itself clearly superior to my previous CJ MV75A1. That said, I'm tempted on a couple fronts. I have the 6SN7 adapter on hand if I want to give that a shot, but I'm even more tempted to do the entire board. The other temptation (at roughly 10X the cost) would be the newer version of the ST70 that features dual rectifier tubes along with the 6SN7 option. Right now the 6SN7 board is a much better for for my budget. And FWIW, my friend who has the VTA ST120 has had all 3 boards and clearly prefers the 6SN7 board.
