"but most reviewers moved on to better sounding designs in the 70s with gear by Audio Research, Conrad-Johnson, Jadis, etc."
In good repair, a H/K Cit. 2 SLAYS the brands mentioned. It's a fact that the quality of the magnetics used makes or breaks a tube amp. The "iron" used in the "Deuce" is among the very best ever manufactured.
IMO/IME, reviewers let price tags, rather than performance, influence them. Conflict of interest and (perhaps) corruption also are in play.
Use your own ears!
