Sigma 160i / Sigma 160i SE

Integrated Amplifier

VAC’s most affordable and compact music solution is a
full-integrated amplifier, with 85-watt/channel power amplifier, true
triode tube line control amplifier, and triode moving magnet phono
stage. Flexibility is ensured by standard remote control, home theater
input, preamplifier outputs, and optional MC and balanced inputs. If
sound quality and simplicity are the priorities, this exceptionally
musical amplifier is the answer.



Sigma 160i









  • “The VAC sound is audio-writ large but
    properly proportioned; it is elegant, opulent and ebullient. The
    vastness and spatiality of the soundstage with the Phi 200 is quite
    surprising when heard for the first time - you likely have not heard the
    expansiveness a fine tube amp can bring to a system... My experience
    with the Phi 200 is that I can be assured that no matter which
    loudspeaker I put into the rig I’ll get top quality sound... Their
    quality, reliability and unimpeachable sound earn them a resounding
    recommendation.”

    - Doug Schroeder, Dagogo.com December 2010






     




  • Quality is held to VAC’s high standards, with great care taken in
    combining all of the elements of separate components into a single, well
    integrated package. Of particular essence is the presence of a true
    line stage (with optional balanced inputs), and a proper volume control
    (not a digital or VCA control on a microchip as is the modern fashion).

    The fact that every single stage in the audio chain is in intimate
    proximity means that they can share a very tight, precise common ground
    reference, to realize the true performance possibility of the integrated
    form. To ensure purity and stability, the Sigma 160i incorporates
    separate rectifiers and power filters for the preamplifier sections.
    Similarly, the mechanical placement of all of the parts, from the
    transformers to the vacuum tubes to the capacitors and resistors has
    been undertaken using the principals embodied in our cost-no-object
    Statement amplifiers.

    The Sigma 160i SE (Special Edition) enhances performance by upgrading
    the input transformers and many passive parts to the types used in the
    premium Statement instruments. Greater size, detail, speed, and weight
    is the result.

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

Questions for the seller
Does this unit have a balanced input? Demo unit or used? How old? Thank you
It is a demo with 3 yr warranty. No balanced input, although frankly ,as the unit is not itself balance there really is not much purpose for a balanced input.
