I have the sv 237 with rca black plate 5751's and Morrow cables. I have to
say your description of the bright and dry sound is not at all what I have
experienced. I had originally purchased it for my wife to use in our small
living room with some Soundfield m1's and was shocked at how good it
sounded. So much so that I sold off my seperate amp/tube preamp and
tube dac as well as the m1's and now just have the Vincent driving my
Speaker Art Super Clefs (88db) and I absolutley love the sound of this
system as well as the simplicity.
The room I have it set up in is not ideal it's untreated and has hardwood
floors probably about 12 x 12. I have never felt the sound was bright on any
recording. In fact most of the time my wife just streams music via sonos (no
seperate dac) and still no hint of brightness.
I realize our amps are not exactly the same but a guy I know in Minneapolis
has had several high end amps from Mac to Esoteric and still prefers the
Vincent 236 mkll to anything he has owned. Perhaps there is a
mismatch within your system.
