Very Good, Clean Condition VAS Audio Citation II, Monoblock EL-34 Based Tube Amplifiers. A conservative 8/10 on the Audiogon Scale.

Original Owner, Have all the Original Factory Packaging, Manual and unused Power Cords. Have spent their life set up in a non smoking, Dedicated Listening Space with no small children or pets. I alternated usage with other Amps as well, so not a ton of hours on them.

Rated at 50 WPC Ultra Linear and 25 WPC in Triode mode, with 4 & 8 ohm taps. Tube Rectified and comes with a pair of low hour Genalex Gold Lion 5AR4/GZ34/U77, low hour 12AU7/12AX7 Stock, Small Signal Tubes and a quad of Shuguang EL-34's. With a Resistor change, (which will included) the Amps can utilize KT88's/6550's.

The Citation II's are deceiving in size as they weigh in at 32 lbs. each, with point-2-point wiring. They have very good, hand wound Transformers that are extremely quiet, and are much more powerful than one would expect. The Citations drove SRS 3.1TL's with ease, with solid Bass for an EL-34.

These Amps were manufactured in the same plant as Cayin and Prima Luna for VAS Audio, VAS is also a U.S. Cayin Distributor.

Includes: Factory Packaging, Manual, Unused Power Cords and Tube Cages.

Polk Member price $1575.00, If F/F PayPal is utilized, I will split Shipping @75lbs. from MO. 65201. I have a UPS account and can come up with an accurate number.

Feel free to ask any questions, or send a P.M.

Thanks for looking!

    I have no excuse other than I've become quite lazy :D When we get some decent riding weather back in the forecast, I'll make a concerned effort to make it up one day ;)

    I would include them in the price, but they would need to be shipped separately at exact cost.

    They are 18.5" L x 7.34" W x 5.5" H with spikes on a flat surface, around 4.75"-5" above carpet over pad on concrete.

    Pretty sure the spike inserts are 1/4x20 threads, I can check.

    They can be shorter by eliminating one of the shelves.

    Little bump with price adjustment, $1525. and I'll throw in the stands as well. Just need to calculate shipping charges for the extra carton.
