Offered is „Sigma 170 iQ mit Phono Modul, XLR Modul und Röhrenkäfig“ by VAC as exhibit from the category „Tube-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 204757781 ends on 16.10.2026 at 06:38 o'clock.
Condition looks good, but at €9,990 this is still ambitious versus the recent used market: it sits well above the €5,924 median and even beyond the €9,059 75th percentile, so you’re paying top-tier money rather than a fair-market bargain. The included phono module, XLR module, and Röhrenkäfig do add real value, but they do not fully close that gap.
That said, this is a serious VAC integrated and the package is attractive for a buyer who wants a fully optioned, high-end tube amp with strong flexibility and easy system matching. If it’s genuinely clean, properly serviced, and those extras are original and working, the upside is convenience and completeness rather than discounted entry price. At this asking level, I’d want confidence in maintenance history and tube life before moving fast.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
