VAC Musicbloc 160 amps (Any experiences?)

@smodtactical

They’re warm and rich without going too far off the reservation. Still really good detail and clarity. I really dig it. I haven’t aimed for "dead neutral" for a long time. VAC really nails their voicing of components.

ARC for example is more neutral while still keeping a touch of sweetness (like you described), but the last several months I’ve been gravitating harder to the VAC perspective.

Ya I am going for warmth and richness for tube amps. Something like cj sound so this seems like a contender.

I love the top end VAC equipment also but am quite happy with the BAT Rex II Preamp and a pair of BAT Rex II mono amps driving a pair of Wilson Alexx’s. Does a great job. I can see upgrading to VAC Statement series someday but i’m happy for now with a taste of what that top end VAC can deliver for a lot less money.

I think you should consider a shootout vs. all the audio gear that has ever been produced...
