VAC 160i, any experiences

I've owned a Ref 5 and the krell KCT and 202Evo plus a BAT 5SE and well....a whole lot of preamps. One should have low noise and hum as a fundemental design principal and then build upon that for musicality. Ya don't need bad numbers to get great sound. But it's all subjective at some point anyway, so grab a beer and sit back to enjoy what you have:)

IS sigma 160i class A or B?

Guys,

Just wondering if any of you are using ceramic tube dampers and on which tube?

Thanks,

The key to VACs is their Lundahl output transformers. None better.

Anyone know what the vac phono mc load is ....100 ohms or 200 ohms
