HDBRbuilder Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Well...I'm sure he will comment when he sees us discussing...then we will know for sure...LOL! I'm VERY INTERESTED in what he has been up to with the H/K Cit II and Cit V in monoblock formatting! I love both of these original units!

justinsweber Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I’m not the same Justin. That said, been building SET amps and modifying Klipisch speakers for 20 years. Given that I’m 40, means I’ve been at it for a tinny but of time ;-). On all the forums I’ve always used my full name or company name. I don’t like aviators which sometimes hide identity. If you guys want some more shots of the Cit V let me know. It’s interesting. I’m getting 32watts rms with the 7581a and tube rectification but it’s very very wide bandwidth. I think the bandwidth makes amp sound much more powerful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification, Justin, and for those who really DON'T know much about the ORIGINAL designer of both of these amps (Cit II and Cit V...and many others!)...but love Carver Amps...here is some info FROM Carver, himself: https://www.audioasylum.com/messages/tubes/209646/re-bob-carver-on-stu-hegeman-ultralinear-and-6550-vs-kt88 Enjoy!

I did enjoy. Thank you. My Citation II was a tube amp I sold/traded to a good friend of over 40 years, when I was about 20. He still has it. Maybe it's time to clean it up and plug it in!

justinsweber Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Your reply seems confrontational? Simple doesn't mean low quality, but straightforward. Simple in this case does mean labor intensive. The HK Cit II or Vs iron is not wholly unique but is high quality. Mcintosh outputs are considerably more complex to wind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinsweber Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The reply was dated Tuesday. I wasn't disparaging of HK iron. All that being said, I was trying to clarify my point... HK magic has more to do with is circuits brilliance that is transformers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
