It is available in 2 variants: EL34 for warm, smooth music & KT88 for power. Reviewers wrote of the original: "The realism of the virtually distortion-free music was nothing less than startling.

These products offer great sound at unbelievably affordable prices, while the Citation-2 monos take retro-cred to new levels of audiophile drool-worthiness.
