| Golden Ear or Elac? Go ProAc you'll never look back !! | |
| Does anyone have any experience of hybrid valve and solid state power amps? Vincent audio SV -237. Great amp and when you factor in cost it's even a better bargain. | |
| Help with integrated amp choice Vincent -237. Great sound and won't break the bank. | |
| McIntosh vs. Vincent I've owned the Vincent-237 for almost a year. It's a great hybrid integrated amp like others here have stated. No direct comparison to the McIntosh gear but factor in the cost and it becomes an even better bargain. | |
| 6 ohm speakers with 4/8 ohm amplifier Like it was suggested in the first post try both and let your ears decide which is the better of the two. No harm to your amp. | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) Vincent is playing through very recently acquired pair of ProAc DT8's before that Monitor Audio Gold's. The amp has a tube preamp section, a total of 3 tubes, and a solid-state output. The amp is slightly on the warm side as you said you like. Tub... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) Vincent Audio SV 237MK Hybrid Stereo Integrated Amp. Hybrid tube integrated. I've owned mine close to a year now and it's a very good amp. http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=VISV237MK | |
| ProAc comparison @milpai Thanks and thanks for the advice. I've been keeping the volume at a moderate level and feel no reason to crank up the volume as they sound so good even at lower volumes. The dealer told me give them at least 50 hours. My first pair of ProA... | |
| ProAc comparison recently purchased a pair of DT8's and still in the process of breaking them in but I've got to say they sound phenomenally good. I had the local Proac dealer get a pair to audition before buying them and he himself was so impressed he has decided... | |
| Rotel RA-1592 vs Paraound Halo or better (anyone heard both?) since they're pre-amp tubes they should last a number of years. I recently purchased a couple of spare 1960's NOS Novosibirsk 6N1P-EV tubes off of eBay. I have a good stock of NOS 12ax7 tubes that I've been buying over the years for another tube a... | |
| Rotel RA-1592 vs Paraound Halo or better (anyone heard both?) I'll second initforthemusic's recommendation of the Vincent 237. I've owned one for several months and been very happy with it. | |
| hybrid integrateds (Vincent and others) I own the Vincent 237 Integrated amp and it's hard to beat at it's price point IMO. They're connected to a pair of Monitor Audio Gold 200's and they make those speakers sing. I've also compared it to the tube integrated that I own , which is a rea... | |
| Ekco EV55 using 6550's in place of KT88 I finally swapped in the GE 6550's. Only had a chance to listen for about an hour last night but so far so good. Thanks for the feedback to all who replied !! | |
| Ekco EV55 using 6550's in place of KT88 Thanks xti16 !Thanks for the input atmasphere and yes they are NOS 6550’s ! | |
| Ekco EV55 using 6550's in place of KT88 Thanks for looking I know this is a tough one if only because the amp is not well known. I'll eventually just replace the tubes and hope nothing goes nuclear on me !! |
