my Dad's Newcomb Classic 25 was one...but none that
would be consider truly high fidelity by today's
standards. A Citation II with some judicious cap
upgrades *does* make that grade.

Tweako-freako obsession with so-called cap upgrades
noted.

Well, now I have a glimmering of why your 120 is not
modified, don't I Arny?

Not at all. It isn't modified because its purpose in
life is to be as factory-stock as possible. I'm arready
surrounded with good-sounding amps. If the ST-120 had
audible faults, it would be counter-productive to
eliminate its specialness and make it like all the rest.

I was going to say, did you ABX those good sounding amps??
