chance to do some listening.Although the change in sound qualityis not as great in magnitude as the initial power supply cap kits upgrade, I feel the Level II kit is definitelya worthwhile mod.The tonal signature and sonic accuracy of the amp did not change, but what I did findwas an increase in front to back soundstage depth.The soundstage now takes on a slightly forward as wellas deeper image.I did note on one CD, Kenny Burrells Midnight Blue, the guitar seemed to appear about afoot or two in front of my speakers, whereas it previously sounded evenly between the two.The amp alsoseems to have increased dynamics and transient response, it is now effortless.I listened to my modded Dynaco.ST7.Cit.II and it sounded very laid back in comparison, although I guess its not muchof a comparison sorry Dyna guys My speakers homebuilt Swan seem to respond extremely well to eachmod, Ive never heard them sound better.Pete Hajna, USAJust to let you know, Ive listened to many amps, preamps, too many to list, and my favorite is still the.Citation II I rebuilt with your kits.Its the same one you pictured on your parts page.Its full of magic for realSteve Geiger, almost one year

than Level II.Level II Plus converts the Citation II into a virtual dual monoamp, with highly isolated power supplies from the choke on and major improvements in the B and ground schemesfor the critical low level circuitry on the terminal boards.Channel separation is utterly breathtaking, imaging somehow is even better than Level II, and the quiet blackbackground is even quieter and blacker with these improvements.Subtle details are clearer than ever, yet the ampretains the delicate balance between detail and the natural tube sound that was designed into the Citation series.Quick Tip 4 Installing No Mor Flats on Your Bicycle 1.Steps.Putting the tire back on.This is the step that most freaked out about.This is a key part of the installation.You do as instructed so far and follow this part youl laugh at anyone that tells you how hard they are to put in.You wiped the whole tube down and the inside of the tire with the wet soapy rag right Good wasnt hard was it Naaah that was easy.Now wipe down the bead of the tire the same way.All the way around.Next get all three of your tire spanners at the ready.Put the first one in as shown pop the bead over and hold it there with the first spanner wrench.Put the second spanner in under the bead of the tire about thumb to forefinger away from the first spanner see picAnd pop it over the rim edge and hold it there.Youll probably notice that if you hold one the other one will hold in place on its own if not use your foot as i did to hold it.Hold it gently you dont need to step on it with full force.Next.
