About the Phi 200
The VAC Phi 200 is a 100 watt per channel stereo tube power amplifier featuring four KT88 and four 6SN7 tubes. It can be switched into mono mode to deliver over 200 watts, and provides output taps for 2, 4, and 8 ohm loudspeaker loads. Gain is 36 dB single-ended (RCA) or 30 dB balanced (XLR). VAC specifies a frequency response of 4 Hz to 75 kHz and a power bandwidth of 13 Hz to 70 kHz. The input and driver stages are class-A, low-mu triode circuits derived from VAC's Phi 300 design, noted for resolution, imaging, and soundstaging. The chassis weighs about 40.9 kg and measures 222 x 452 x 452 mm. Standard finish is hand-rubbed gold-flake gloss black lacquer with chrome knobs; metallic silver is available as a special-order option. Introduced around 2009, the Phi 200 was later superseded by newer designs such as the Signature 200 iQ and is no longer in current production.
