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.

Overview Technical Specifications Reviews Product Brochure 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
Just want to verify that the MC phono section is included.
This is the standard MM phono section. The MC and Balanced were added options. I should make sure I have this clarified in the add. This amp is in perfect condition and comes with additional Golden Lion tubes. Best, Mike Gestalt HiFi 24 Sunlit Dr West Santa Fe NM 87508 808-640-8947 gestalthifi.com [email protected]
