VAC Phi 200 Exceptional condition with silver faceplate!

For your consideration is a gorgeous VAC Phi 200 amp. This amp is one owner from a pet and smoke free environment with all packing material (sorry, no manual but it is online). It is fitted with the optional silver painted faceplate that looks stunning and is rare to see. The tubes are in good condition. The condition of these is exceptional with only a very tiny mark towards the top right front of the top panel right before it meets the faceplate. Otherwise it is pristine which is cleaner than most amps are coming from the factory these days. It is a 2011 serial number so a more recent unit than the majority that come up for sale. Please see our other ads for the SRA stands in the photos that are not included with this sale.

From the VAC website:

The basic circuit of Phi 200 is a simplified take on the topology employed in the Statement products. Both fully balanced and single-ended input modes are supported; by switch setting, the front-end circuitry is rearranged to be correct and optimal for the selected mode.

Another switch converts the Phi 200 from a 100+ watt/channel stereo operation into a true 200+ watt monoblock with great power and control. The ability to set the amplifier for either stereo or mono operation allows freedom of application (biamp one day, monoblocks the next), and the ability to pace the development of a system. You can start with one Phi 200 in stereo mode today and add a second one later for additional power and true monoblock performance.

The Phi 200’s wideband power is developed using KT88 beam power vacuum tubes, exploited to fullest advantage by 14-pound, custom-wound, 21-section output transformers. With Class A1 direct-coupled low-mu triode input and driver stages, the result is fast, full, detailed sound.

Discreet amber indicators direct adjustment of the output tubes for ideal sound. The lacquered 9.5 mm fascia beautifully compliments the rugged 2.4 mm non-magnetic chassis. The massive power transformer is fully potted to assure quiet operation. A 12-volt trigger input is accepted.

An optional glass/machined aluminum cage is available, for an appearance reminiscent of a Statement amplifier.
