Order is half the battle. Only a phono preamplifier that is properly configured can ensure low-noise transmission of record player signals.
The selection of high-quality components and the complex configuration of the external power unit ensure a perfect sound quality.
The basis for this is based on a PHO-700 complex additional power supply, which is already used in the PHO-8. We have deliberately omitted an AC adapter and specially designed and developed a power supply. This is connected using a 9-pin DIN cable to the phono section. The voltage is again specially prepared in the power supply, so that ripple and hum of the electricity network play no role and the phono section is supplied with "clean power".
The PHO-700 presents itself in the same dimensions as the power supply. However, is due to the tube lines, combined with the known window which gives a free view to the tube. In the signal path a 12AU7 tube is used as a dual triode, which takes direct influence on the sound. High-quality components (e.g. from Nichicon or Wima) improve the parameters of noise ratio and amplification again. Of course, the PHO-700 is switchable via a switch on the rear panel for MM and MC cartridges.
The Vincent SV-500 is a full featured stereo integrated amp offering six inputs – 4 x Stereo RCA, 1 x Optical, 1 x Coax
Great features include independent bass and treble controls, front panel headphone input, mute, and infrared remote control. The metal remote is one of the best we've seen. It has a solid feel, slim profile, and just the right buttons, but none of the extra buttons you'll never use. The rear panel features excellent five-way speaker binding posts and both record and preamp outputs just in case you want to use the SV-500 as a stand-alone tube preamp with an external amp.
How to improve an unbeatable unit? Very easy, just listen to the customers wish. That’s how the SV-237 becomes the SV-237MK. The big change is that we replaced the USB input with coax and optical input. These inputs are more suitable for daily use and offer more possibilities for connections. The unique circuit design of Frank Blöhbum was not changed.
