Harmon Kardon Citation II Amp161 viewsMassive.. I purchased this amp and matching preamp from an audio buddy. Unit had several issues but does play. Issues included lots of noise. After opening it up, I discovered a few issues, fuses in the OPT cathodes, one of which was open, wrongs sized OPT cathodes resistors, wrong size and type of capacitor on the driver tube screen and a few other things. Ordered the Jim McShane power supply kit as well as the two capacitor kits.

Finally Solved my hum (ground loop) problem39 viewsFound this "drake" 15k to 15k bridging input transformer in my parts box and decided to give it a try in effort to solve my hum (ground loop) problem. Amps were quiet with their grounds lifted. However, I never felt real safe doing the lift. Now, with the input transformer the hum is gone :)
