I have rebuilt over 70 of them now. It is funny, but I work on lots of gear and therefore get to listen to many fine tube amps. When all is said and done I am happy my Citation II goes back into the system. Everything else sounds colored to me. The Macs have a very nice color and you could happily listen to one for a long time, but the citation II just sounds like music to me. It is so clean and detailed, but never bright or in your face. Effortless. Funny how we have our preferences. You can put other fine amps on the bench and they measure just as well, but there is something about the sound of the citation II when it has been totally rebuilt. Must be that iron....
