I have the Vincent Audio SV237 and particularly drawn to this model because I wanted and bare-bone Tube Hybrid Integrate unit that will allow me to upgrade the auxiliary equipment as the digital and phono technology is always improving. Just like a tube amp, I’ve rolled the SV237 to tailor to my ears. The SV237 has more than enough power and plays very well with my high efficient Klipsch Forted speakers and having the bass & treble control and a loudness switch to allow me to tailor the sound to my listening room and add more bass at low volume when needed. The SV237 amp is a sleeper workhorse that is designed meet all my needs.
Looking for a hybrid integrated to do it all!
Hi everyone, I'm sure this request will draw some ire from the "separates only" crowd but here goes! I'm looking to transition my separate preamp/DAC/amp stack to a more minimalist setup fairly soon but have had some trouble turning up possible components. Here are my rough requirements:
- Needs to be a hybrid tube/SS design as I like the tube sound too much to let go
- Needs to have a high quality integrated DAC
- Should be well built and competently designed with good components
- Has to output a decent amount of current (around 100wpc @ 4 ohms)
- This is subjective but it needs to be aesthetically pleasing
- Bonus points if it has a high quality integrated phono stage (not a must since I'm willing to go separate on this)
- Bonus points if it has a remote
