VAC Sigma 160i Integrated Amplifier loaded with factory options MC/XLR/CAGE Mint!

Although I am stepping up from integrated to separate components, I have to say that VAC Sigma 160i was the absolute best integrated amplifier that I have ever owned, no doubt. This amp is packed with every single option that was available at the time of purchase, so you will get a tube powerhouse in a relatively small package. Noteworthy: this gorgeous amp has a high "wife appeal factor" (speaking from experience!). It looks absolutely stunning, especially with VAC's new glass/aluminum cage.

Here's what's included and the retail prices:

• VAC Sigma 160i Integrated Amp with a remote ($9,950)

• Balanced Inputs option (Installed at the factory at the time of purchase, $1,000)

• MC Phono Stage (Installed at the factory at the time of purchase, $1,000)

• VAC Glass/Machined Aluminum Cage ($1,400)

• Extra set of tubes picked and matched by VAC and purchased directly from them (KT88SC x 4 plus one spare, 12AX7 x 3, 12AU7 x 4, total $652)

• Total retail value = $14,002.

The amp is in pristine condition. I purchased it brand new from an authorized dealer in NYC in November of 2013, so it's about fifteen months old. All original accessories are included (remote, instruction manual, mini screw driver for tube bias adjustment). The amp will be shipped in the original box. The box is not that big, however it is very heavy. The cage has its own box, so it's a two-box shipment. I will take care of the shipping charges, so the price you see here includes shipping to your door steps. However, if you are paying with Paypal, please add 2.95% to the purchase price. Local pickups are welcome, Center City Philadelphia area.
Please note that I am firm on the price. Considering the fact that the amp was still brand new sealed in the box just a little over a year ago, this is a very reasonable deal.
