Mike,
It was a long time ago and it was stock.I used it with a stock HK Citation 2 with a pair of Speakerlab K horns I built myself. I think what was happening to make the whole system sound lousy was the speakers. Apparently, Speakerlab published an incorrect throat size for the woofer slot. It made the speakers sound dull and lifeless. I attributed the sound to the HK electronics but in all probability it was the horns.I wish I had kept the HK and Marantz tube gear I had when I was younger as well as the AR SP3A1 you spectacularly rebuilt for me but, as you pointed out, I like to try different pieces of gear and generally have to finance this through sales of gear I own.
