What is Included: Pair of amplifiers, Four Tung Sol KT150 tubes, Four Sovtek 6H30Pi tubes, Manuals, Two Power cables, Factory packaging Other Notes: Tubes test very well. Tube hours unknown. 160M offers things I’ve never heard before from an ARC amp: a newfound control that makes for “higher definition” from top to bottom; a standard-settingly low noise floor; a naturally richer and more neutral tonal palette; a naturally fuller power range; somewhat better focused and less midrange-forward imaging; and an even-handed presentation of the dynamic/harmonic envelope that no other amplifier I’m familiar with can better. -Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound Functional Notes: Operational condition of this item is excellent, fully tested and no issues found.
