The SV-500 is equipped with four analog inputs (RCA connectors) and two digital inputs (RCA and optical). There is also an adjustable preamp output (for example, for connecting a subwoofer) and a recording output. The cool look is successfully complemented by a stylish remote control with an aluminum case.
The Vincent SV-228 integrated amplifier with a volume level meter built into the front panel will replace the SV-227 MK model. The hybrid design implies the simultaneous use of 6N4, ECC82 lamps and transistors in the output stage.
The SV-237 MK II uses hybrid amplification technology. For Vincent, this solution means "the best of both worlds." Two 6N1P lamps operate in the pre-amplification section, giving the sound naturalness and warmth, while the power amplifier section uses 4 transistors, providing excellent dynamics and output power of up to 250 Watts (RMS) per channel.
In addition to the amplifier function, the device can act as a digital-to-analog converter, as well as a network Wi-Fi player. It also has a built-in Bluetooth module for wireless music playback from a smartphone. The preamp in the model is made on 6M2 PE V, 6N1P and 85A2 lamps, and the output stage is fully transistor-based and capable of developing 180 Watts at 8 ohms and 300 Watts at 4 ohms load. Moreover, the first 10 Watts are reproduced in Class A.
The Vincent SV-700 stereo amplifier allows sound sources that do not have a powerful enough DAC to maximize their capabilities. By introducing symmetrical inputs, the manufacturer ensured the playback of musical compositions with special sophistication and completeness. During audio playback, experts note the richness of the vocal parts, as well as the consonance and volume of instrumental compositions, including those played on the piano.
