I have a Citation II. You can get KT88's from C international (I can't find t
the box so the name may be wrong) But yes you are right The MOV division
of GEC has stopped production. I use GE 6550's and I have found that they
pass a cleaner square-wave on a scope than the internationals. I didn't
try with the MOV's though. The 6550 is a good tube but my amp is running
factory bias (~100ma per tube) and thermal dissapation ~50watts a tube.
We will miss MOV but @$80 for matched set vis-a-vis ~$10 for a GE 6550 the
clear winner is the latter. EL34's went to the same fate. sad.
