For sale is a like new VAC Signature 200 IQ power amplifier with the VAC iQ Continuous Automatic Bias System - the latest innovation from VAC's Kevin Hayes. Perhaps the most user friendly with its continuous automatic bias system. It is only a few months old and unfortunately need to sell due to unexpected medical expenses. It is truly a fantastic amplifier and sad to see it go. The aesthetics and build quality are truly a sight to be seen, and is built like no other amp I've seen or tried. Would be glad to answer questions either through email or over the phone if needed, or send a quick video of the VAC as well.
It is in Mint Condition (cannot see any blemishes or marks at all) and Estimated only about 200 hours of use total. I listed it as Excellent just to be safe. Comes with manual, original box, tube cage, and stock tubes (4 Gold Lion KT88s, 4 Tung Sol 6SN7s). The 200 IQ sound quality is a significant improvement over the VAC 200 PHI amp.
