Thanks, Don -- I already installed a McShane power supply ... I just never got around to changing to the resistors and capacitors, since they are at least of decent quality (Panasonic film caps and metal film resistors), despite being strangely installed. Some day I will take it apart again and tidy up the boards. But it's hard to justify when it works fine as a daily-driver!
Cheers,
Jon

Try some k40s in place of the .22s.I use them in place of the .47s also.Jim carries those caps but it makes a hell of a difference.
Diversity of opinions on any one technical subject,almost always causes confusion for the listener.
Hi Jon,
If the caps are those Matsushitas that Jim sells there is no point in finding anything else for a Citation I. They are very good. Try changing the 220K carbon resistors where the volume pot lead enters the board. If they are the originals you will make it sound better by using a good quality carbon film there. I like the Takmans, but there are other good ones. Also the 47K resistors of the tape monitor switch are in the signal path. Put another good carbon film there. The RIAA caps and resistors on the rolloff and turnover switches also make a big improvement if no one has changed them...if you are using vinyl (most folks with a Citation I have it for vinyl I assume).
Yes, they are a very good preamp when rebuilt.
cheers,
Don
