Sold An Awesome Citation II

[S0und Dragon]

If ever there was a citation to own, this one would be it. It Looks brand new. It was completely stripped down to bare metal and repainted by a major Automakers paint lab. I purchased her from an automotive sculptor who had access to the pro shop and used it! This Citation was serviced by Alpha Tech in March 2018. And saw some bench time for a general check-up at Hudson Valley Hi-Fi earlier this year just before pulling main system duty on a pair of Aerial Acoustic 10T's. It was a very satisfying combination. I had absolutely no intentions of ever selling it. I still may not, considering what my asking price will be. But I assure you she is well worth it and would make any collector very happy. Only have the current batch of tubes. Vintage 12BY7As and some strong but used Sovteks are all I have at the moment. New Faceplate on her and the original will be included as well. I have saved amazing packaging and will ship on my dime at or around my asking price. Asking $3000 OBO. Will consider partial trades although my current want list is rather targeted. Those who have bought or dealt with me know I am pretty flexible and fair. feel free to make an offer. I will leave it as a Haven exclusive for a few days so, but only if there is interest. So please express it. More pictures can be made to facilitate a sale.

- 12v Linear power supply like either the CI audio or Sbooster power supplies.
- Bill Evans Some other time and Another time on Vinyl
- A decent RTR deck. ( Kinda picky on this one )
- Tube Tester ( working preferred)
- Technics SP-10 Mk II

A weird list I know, but it is what I am looking for.

Nothing weird about your want list from my perspective!

Some more shots for the nosebleeds.

 

[S0und Dragon]

Few more.

Very drool-worthy! Glwts

Wow. That is lovely.

Ok, I really want to start on my next Project. So I am motivated to sell. How about $2800 USD and I will still include shipping. I would be willing to ship it to the Frozen North or could even make arrangements to meet up in Toronto or Ottawa in a month or two as I will be in the area visiting the wife's family. ( that is only for Havenites as I do not plan on doing this in the other place) So....any takers? I have this listed elsewhere also and may put it up on USAUDIOMART if I get no interest. Just figured I would offer it here to one of you fine folks.

Looks like milk chocolate, and that's a good thing.

I'm in the process of putting my basement back together and following that with (what I hope will be) a really cool speaker acquisition.

Otherwise, this would be mine.

Really beautiful Citation II.

Beautiful amp. Of course it’s tempting.

 

[Audio Refugee]

What a BEAUTIFUL amp. So Mid-Century Astro... Googie Architecture-ish. I just love it. Interesting thing is... the lettering reminds me of a Ol' West font. Think... The Duke. I get most of my comments have little to nothing to do with the quality of sound, but I can't hear it, so can only comment on what I can see. Atheistic... in this case maters, and I REALLY like it.

 

[S0und Dragon]

Thanks guys. I am very Motivated to sell so If you want to shoot me an offer, please feel free. The worst I will say is no thanks. Or maybe yes? Won’t k own unless you ask!

 

[S0und Dragon]

I am going to give this one more “Look at me!!!!!” Before moving onto the open market. So if you are thinking about this fine amp. Reach out and let me know. Quite a few folks have worked with me before and know me to be very flexible and easy to work with. Otherwise, thanks for looking and especially the kind words.

Great amplifier and I should know because I've got one that's been restored to a similar level. Your price is more than fair. It would cost more to buy one in need of restoration and have it brought to this level. And the tube cages are almost impossible to find. In fact, you might think about selling that separately. Hope someone takes the plunge on this.

If I hadn't gone the Primaluna route already, I'd be tempted. It's just a marvelous looking amp. I hope you find a passionate buyer!

 

[S0und Dragon]

Well....she has found a new owner! Marking this as pending!

 

[S0und Dragon]

And paid for. Time to pack her up for her trip!
