Valve Amplification Company 160 i SE Integrated w/Bal input

NEW PRICE..this is as low as you will find one of these in outstanding condition from a reputable seller (ebay neff981)...I am still going to leave this as LOCAL PICKUP ONLY...I am one hour north of Boston in the Manchester, NH area...IT IS WORTH THE DRIVE IF YOU ARE WITHIN TWO HOURS OF MANCHESTER AREA, NH...this asking price is pretty much firm... this is the best and latest edition of this amp: SE, balanced inputs (1500 dollar option)...with tubes you have two options, the very lightly used tubes sourced directly from Kevin Hayes (including the Genelex Gold Lion KT88's that are far superior to the standard Chinese tubes)...I also have an extra matched pair of those KT88's....another tube option is for the PS VANE (Shuguang) black treasure tubes that I paid $500 for and are VERY lightly used...these special tubes DO NOT include KT88's but every other tube in that amp...I would require an extra $250.00 for those tubes...you would still get Kevin's tubes as well...I would prefer PayPal but will accept check, but it would have to clear first...please note this amp was bought new from a local authorized VAC dealer (FidelisAV in Nashua)...Thank you, Ted
