Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: HK Citation 2 rebuild questions

My advice is to leave it mostly stock. Just replace coupling capacitors and electrolytics. Use bumble bee capacitors the dry ones or sprague black beauties in the front of the amp. I would recommend Unicon electrolytics from hifi collective and CE manufacturing the paper tube ones if at all possible. They new had to build electronics back then doubtful that there will be improved musical performance and likely worse. Tune it in with respect to the geniuses that made it and you will be happy for years.
