Hi Mikey,
Yes, I tried them in the Citation II. They are pretty good. I still liked the Gold Lion reissue KT88 better, and my everyday favorite is the EiKT90 in triode. Magic. But the gold lions are 95% as good, and you could certainly live happily with a number of other tubes including the 6P3S-E. I am sure I will get another quad from Jim as soon as another amp rolls through here in need of anything resembling a 6L6. Geez, a matched quad is something like $50. It just isn't worth ordering 10 of them from Russia for that price unless you have a lot of amps to service! The quad in my Cit. V must have 500 hours on them and they look and test new so I expect they last a long time.
cheers,
Don
