News of New Products - January 2003
Kevin Hayes, VAC Founder &
President
Greetings from CES 2003 and THE Show 2003. During this week we have shown the results of our most ambitious and successful year of research and development, with the introduction of nine new products, each of which redefine the state of their respective arts. Generally speaking, the new affordable VAC components are outperforming our very best from only a year or two ago, and our new flagship models are reaching pinnacles far beyond our wildest dreams.
We will be publishing more information about the new products over the next few weeks, coincident with various photo sessions and the publication of our new print catalogue.
All of the new models share a new power supply design that yields a faster, more controlled, more extended sound than ever before, without losing our trademark tube goodness. In addition, noise floors are reduced by an order or magnitude, now being typically 0.2 to 0.4 millivolts at the speaker terminals - this is less than the output of an MC phono cartridge! Each new power amplifier also has circuitry to defend against even catastrophic output tube failures - if a tube goes short, the amps keep playing. With VAC, the best sound is accompanied by ease of use and reliability.
The VAC Phi Series, our flagship, also has many new tricks, along with the most stunning and elegant appearance ever.
