As long as the circuit isn't changed then adding capacitance, changing parts quality is sort of upgrading not truly modifying as in some Dynaco mods where the actual circuit topology is changed and the amp is not really a Dynaco any more. And how would you listen to a 'stock' Citation today. You have to upgrade tons of parts to replace parts that have badly deteriorated.
Follow Ups:
Hegeman's design violates many modern "rules". IIRC, he uses triple nestled feed back loops. Modern designs go for zero FB designs. My guess is given parts variance of the time and being a kit with variable construction, it made for guaranteed performance
When MFA stripped off their OT. They built 120 monoblocks with them.
As long as the parts being changed goes back to the original value all is good. Adding UF's and resistor changes of different values does change the way the operation of the unit is which is different from stock. How much? Will it sound better? Maybe!
