Anyone here own or heard a VAC Sigma 170i integrated?
Been reading some great comments regarding the VAC Sigma 170i. It looks awesome too. Anybody heard one? I'll be checking one out early next month.

It’s booked for 8 hours. Not sure my phone would last that long. To be fair, it wouldn’t be an easy decision for me and I listen to all of these beauties every day. Originally Posted by aKnyght

Tom,
Trust me, start with the NAIM system. Everything else will be great but you will connect with and love the NAIM gear best - especially with your Harbeth
