RE: HK Citation 2 rebuild questions

Hey, Mike, I hope you are feeling much better now. Actually, I rebuilt my first deuce about 15 years ago to go with Magnepan 3A. They were ok and the bass was the best. But soundwise, my MFA M75 which are PP 6550 amps sounded more musical than the HK.
For this latest rebuild I have changed the original caps to vitamin Q PIO caps. I increased the decoupling caps to a total of 200uf x 450v so that should be plenty. The main PS caps have been increased to 2 x 470uf x 400v. The main B+ caps are 2 x 100uf x 500 vdc. And as far as the bias supply is concerned I got a great deal on some isolation transformers which I will use to supply the necessary bias voltage. I am sure that will work out fine. You take care , regards, Dak
