VAC sigma vs Vac phi 200.

Need inputs from experts.

I am thinking of buying one of this amp.

I already have ARC ls 17. which one do you think has better sound?

1. Vac Integrated Sigma 160i or
2, Phi 200 with LS17 as preamp.

INTERCONNECTS. Interconnects in the signal chain have potential to add distortion, noise, etc., etc. Are also an added expense and a potential limiting factor in your system. Which preamp/linestage is better? LS17? No; Built into VAC? YES. Also better synergy VAC:VAC. I have a good friend that has the Sigma 160 integrated and loves it. Hopefully this explains my comments a little better for you.
