I currently have and enjoy a H/K Citation 18 tuner that has been fairly heavily modified, mainly replacing all the electrolytics on the MPX, output power and power supply boards with a mix of Panasonic FR, Silmic II and Blackgate Std caps. I found some older NOS Black Gate N(nonpolar red) caps that I could put into some of the boards that might improve the sound. I'm not good at reading schematics and have read that the N caps are best for signal and coupling. Can someone who is familiar with the Citation 18 recommend what locations the N cap would be best benefitted from? Thanks for your suggestions. |

Would you happen to have a pic of the power supply and MPX boards(901 and 502)? |
