Specifications

 

The E160 specifications are detailed in brief and then subsequently in more

 

 

detail. In the detailed version, we attempt to explain the significance of each

 

specification.

 

 

The correlation between published specifications and sonic quality can be

 

unreliable. A list of numbers reveals virtually nothing. All technical

 

measurements must be subject to qualitative as well as quantitative

 

interpretation. Measurements of the E160 reveal excellent results by any

 

standards. Tested at 115V and 230V after a 10 minute warm up period.
