For sale is a VAC 160i SE integrated amplifier. This is the Special Edition model 160i which is a major sonic improvement over the stock 160i. It has the balanced input option as well as MC phono stage (67db gain and fixed 183 ohm load setting). It also includes the the optional glass and metal tube cage. See the Vac-amps website for more details. It truly is a fabulous amp. This was a lightly used demo unit that I purchased from Audio Salon (an authorized dealer) in 2016. Since then it has been gently used in a non smoking, child free home. I also am including a new set of Gold Lion KT88 output tubes that the dealer included as part of my original purchase.

Original price: 

  Sigma 160 SE...............14000.00 

  Balanced option XLR......1500.00 

  MC phono.......................2200.00  

  Glass and Metal cage.....1450.00  

Rated 8/10. There is a small mark on the power knob which I unsuccessfully photographed. If I have an acceptable offer, I’d be happy to pull it out of the box and try again.

I have listed this as "Local Pickup Only" (but would also deliver within 100 miles of San Francisco) as this amp was previously sold and Fedex damaged the tube cage. I have replaced the glass and also sent the amp back to VAC to be checked out. Its a bit of a long story and I don't want relive the experience. That said, if a remote buyer would like to work out a mutually agreeable shipping scenario, I would reconsider. For example, if the buyer wants to act as the sender and provide shipping manifest, I could deliver to the depot of their choice.

I recently got an offer for the tube cage and would sell this without the tube cage for $5500.
