VAC PHI 170iQ Stereo / Monoblock Amplifier

At first glance, the new VAC Phi 170 may seem like a typical 85 watt per channel stereo amplifier. Sure, it can be transformed into a 170 watt mono block at the flick of a switch, and it has a fully balanced input mode, but the real breakthrough is inside, for the Phi 170 is equipped with the revolutionary patented* VAC iQ Continuous Automatic Bias System.

The VAC iQ is the only system able to hold each output tube’s true underlying idle current perfectly steady at all times, no matter how much you turn up the volume. Say goodbye to manual tweaking, bias drift, thermal tracking effects, dynamic load-line shift, runaway tubes, and blown fuses. Say hello to more detail, increased extension and punch, lower noise, less distortion, and high reliability. It will even tell you when it's time to replace weak tubes.

The Phi 170 with iQ System. Superior sound. Only from VAC.
