Description
Vincent SV-500 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier
At the heart of the Vincent SV-500 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier is a circuit that’s very similar to Vincent’s big brother integrated, the popular SV-237. This German-designed circuit has three user-replaceable vacuum tubes, two 6N1s and one 12AX7B, for the warm, rich sound of vacuum tubes. The tubes are conservatively biased for long life. The factory states the expected tube life of ten years. However, we suspect they’ll last far longer.
Conservatively rated at 50WRMS into 8 ohms, we find the SV-500 seems to deliver far more power than advertised thanks to its robust power supply. From its ease with all kinds of musical material, you’ll swear you’re listening to a much larger amp.
