First one has to define better. Some may listen to a rebuilt Citation II then listen to another modern tube amp and prefer the modern amp, and some vice versa. But if comparing what an amplifier feeds into a fine pair of speakers and doing live vs recorded music testing, ie faithful reproduction, then the Citation II is a difficult if not impossible act to follow. And we are just talking about replacing old parts with modern parts, increasing capacitor values in the power supply and minor power supply and ground changes tweaks that help extract greater performance of the amplifer circuit without any changes to the actual amplifier circuit. The Citation II was designed by Stewart Hegeman a genius which any field of endevor counts itself lucky if one comes along once in several generations. Does this mean everyone should like the amp, no! we don't all like the same food, clothes, cars, and ect. The Citation is just about faithful reproduction, some like a little more or less in their music.
