noddyc43 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) SOLD Item: Vincent PHO-8 phono amplifier Location: Vic 3095 Price: 250 firm plus postage if required Item Condition: very good Reason for selling: upgraded Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Selling a very capable and great bang for buck phono amplifier and power supply. I bought this new about 6 months ago and has about 50 hours on it so still needs a little burning in according to the net. Comes will all the original packaging. As you can see I have placed the amplifier module up on some wooden spikes that are just stuck on, you are welcome to those or I can take them off. There is a small mark on the top of the front face of the amplifier module which I have tried to catch in the last pic. Otherwise in good nic.

stevoz Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Great phono, great price. In regard to 'burn in', I've never read anywhere on the net that it needs more than 50 hours. Mine took about two hours but I found you have to leave it on 24/7 or you'll have to wait two hours again next time you use it before it hits this 'sweet spot'. I have left mine on 24/7 without issue since I bought it over three years ago, except for a period of a week when I had power issues in my house (possums in roof) and after this once it was turned back on......again after about two hours, it sounded just right. From the PHO-8 owners manual: "Burn in/ Warm up. Your audio components need a certain time period until they reach maximum performance. The duration of this “warm up“ time is very different for the various elements of your audio system. Higher and homogeneous sound quality is achieved while keeping the device switched on." It took me a couple of days before I realised the last bit (of this 'iffy' translation from German) actually meant leaving the device switched on all the time. GLWTS! Oh, it's sold!
