Jolida Fusion or Vincent SA-32 / hybrid comparison

I’ve recently started upgrading my system and decided on separate amp/preamp combo verses integrated. Now I’m in the process of adding a preamp and interested in the hybrid concept. Both Jolida and Vincent audio have models for roughly the same price point, so I’m looking for feedback or experiences.

Unfortunately I don’t live anywhere near a large city to listen for myself and could use the groups feedback. I would like to stay in the $1,200 range if someone has other suggestions. This would be dedicated to only vinyl and I listen to all genres.
My system;
- VPI scout / Hana SL
- Elac PPA-2
- Parasound A23
- Q Acoustics 3050i 

Thanks in advance

I have owned the SV-226 integrated. Wish I never sold it. The tubes in it were in sockets and could be removed. Not sure about their preamps. Sorry to hear about their customer support.

I also owned and be putting up for sale here on AG a Jolida Fusion preamp. It was not noisy, however provided 20dB of gain which was more than I needed. The Jolida people (now Black Ice) were good to work with, reachable via phone and helpful with questions.
