VINCENT AUDIO’S MODERN INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER

The USB input of the previously released SV-227 has been replaced by an optical and coaxial inputs that can process both signals up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Vincent Audio says the change was "due to popular demand."

What does remain the same is Vincent's hybrid amplifier circuit which is based on a valve preamp with three 12AX7 tubes - two for the stereo signal path and one for the headphone amplifier. The solid state power amplifier section delivers 2 x 100 watts into 8 ohms.

The SV-227MK features four analog RCA high-level inputs. Two pairs of speakers can be connected and used at the same time.

Finally, there's also a preamplifier output for those who would like to use another power amplifier.

The 20kg SV-227MK is available in silver or black and will sell locally for $2,199 RRP. According to Fundamental Audio, stock is expected around mid-year.
