Information on the Harman Kardon Citation Nineteen (19) stereo power amplifier.
Ok Matthew and Seth=L, here's some more info for you guys on the Harman Kardon Citation model 19, stereo power amp.
The Citation 19 was made in 1976, and was available in 1976 and 1977.
At that time, the retail price was $495.00
It weighted 39 lbs net.
The 4 caps were rated at 5,600uF or 10,000uF maximum each.
* I could not find the definitive rating number of microfarad.
But these big capacitors were pretty bad, in the way that they were drying quite fast. So, they have to be replaced sooner than other caps.
Well, on those years, caps were drying faster, if they were not the top brands.
The output transistors were Mosfet design, if I recall (I think that there was eight per channel). And I believe they were Toshiba make.
And according to several people, the Citation model 19, and other similar Citation models of that era, were good sounding power amps.
That's it.

Note: By the way Seth=L, you did ask me before about the Dacs in the Yamaha RX-V3800 A/V receiver, if I recall correctly.
So, I deducted that you probably own that receiver?
Anyway, here's some pictures (internal and external) of that very receiver, the RX-V3800 from Yamaha.

Oh, and before I forget, the two primary caps (inside the 3800) are rated at 15,000uF each, and are 71Volt,
same as in my Onkyo TX-SR805.
