VAC PA 90C Class A tube monoblocs

Rarely seen on the used market VAC PA 90C – Stereophile Class A rated tube monoblocks with separate power supply units. Switchable between class A and AB operation. Power Output: 96 watts continuous average power at 1 kHz with less than .35% THD into 8 ohms connected to the 8 ohm tap. 120 watts continuous average power at 1 kHz with less than .45% THD into 5.33 ohms connected to the 8 ohm tap. Triode mode reduces power to 60 watts. Separate power supplies make them one of the quietest tube amps and they can run any difficult load thanks to three transformer output taps rated at 2,4 and 8 Ohm. From Stereophile, the amp received an A rating (April, 1994) where it was described, “its holographic imaging ability in triode mode is astonishing. DO reports on the superbly made two box tube monoblock. Its levels of transparency, spatial resolution, and dynamic shading combine for a much more convincing illustration of live music. ST was too impressed by the sound of these amplifiers … Such midrange, such detail … a realism that was positively breathtaking he gushed."
