Thank you Bob Latino...

Bob,
It looks like today is your last day as a working man. I guess that you will be a man of leisure now. Best of wishes to you and your family. I hope that we see you pop up on this forum every once in a while. You no longer need to be polite to your customers - just tell us what you really think. I wanted to say good luck and thank you for your past help and excellent customer service. I love all of my VTA equipment and feel lucky/blessed that I ran across your and Roy's products and services. Your advice has always been spot on, yet you seemed to understand that every individual has to go their own way but you never got judgmental or too upset. You have a lot of friends on this forum so don't be a stranger. Congratulations and take care.

Mike

Thank you Bob for all the great products and assistance you've provided for us!

Enjoy your retirement!!

Best of luck Bob!  Thanks for all your help. You're one of the good ones!

I echo the sentiments. Thank you Bob for a wonderful amp (ST-120) and all your timely assistance! Enjoy every day of retirement!

Dear Bob,

Wishing you a great retirement! I will miss your bold-type knowledge and wisdom. You talked me off the ledge many times and gave me the confidence to build and enjoy my ST120.
I'm grateful to have found VTA.

Health, happiness, and all the best,

Ned

Thank you Bob! Also, thank you for the privilege to allowed me to visit you at your home 5 years ago and handle me (Literally) my VTA amps!!!

Many, many thanks Bob. I would not have the system I have without your help.

Wonderful product and service. Thank you for all of your help and patience—enjoy your (2nd) retirement.

Congratulations on retiring. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I've been enjoying mine. And, thanks for your help in getting my M-125s ready for their trip to Bangkok those many years ago. They're still going strong and are still the centerpiece to my system. Many thanks!

ENJOY your extra 'free time'.

I have been out of the loop for a couple of months travelling and Bob's retirement is new to me. I am wondering who will take over from the irreplaceable Bo Latino?
What happens to the forum? Where do we buy VTA stuff? etc.
cheers

Hi Bob
Do enjoy many golden years of retirement, thanks for everything. Cheers

Hi Bob:
Thanks for the info. I suspected you would leave it in good hands Roy is one of the best. If you ever have a garage sale keep me posted.
cheers

Thank you Bob!!! Have a good retirement. All our amps are up running and doing great. Best wishes from Sweden.

Thanks Bob for all your help over the years and your awesome products. Best of luck with your retirement.

I suggest making this thread a 'sticky' to raise its profile.

Bob, You have been great to work with and a real time saver. Thanks again on your Variac suggestion and the contact -- works great and price was right. Have always paid attention to your answers to may peoples questions and in the event I run into issues with my ST-70, have a great reference. Mine with the KT-66's still running true and sounds great. Something that will for sure be passed down to my kids. Great product, great service, great guy!

This caught me by surprise too. So, I want to thank you Bob, for helping me fufill a couple of my HiFi dreams. 1. Building from a kit and 2. Trying a tube amplifier.

Growing up with Solid-State* and thinking that tubes were from my father's generation, I later developed an interest in how tubes might have an effect on the sound I found the VTA's. Affordable tube amps. Again, thanks for everthing. Full retirement is pretty cool.



* I vaugely remember the transition away from tubes.

Thanks for assisting me with my problems even after you retired! Thanks for everything you have done for new to Tubes DIY person like myself. Enjoy your retirement!! Scott

I also want to add my thanks. As you will note I have been around for a bit yet not needed to ask for too much help. I attribute it to the fact that all answers I have needed are already well documented by Bob so his legacy will be long lived. Thanks much and i will continue to read and re-read and re-read.....

Thanks Bob, I've enjoyed my St-70 and appreciate the help getting it up and running. It's been great! Enjoy your retirement.
