Specifications
The 6160 specifications are detailed in brief and then subsequently in mor
e
detail. In the detailed version, we attempt to explain the significance of eac
h
specification.
The correlation between published specifications and sonic quality can b
e
unreliable. A list of numbers reveals virtually nothing. All technica
l
measurements must be subject to qualitative as well as quantitativ
e
interpretation. Measurements of the 6160 reveal excellent results by an
y
standards. Tested at 115V and 230V after a 10 minute warm up period.
