Vincent SV-237MK

[Floyddroid]

For sale or swap the award winning Vincent SV-237MK amplifier Looking for £1200 It is less than a year old. I Bought it from Vinyl Passion. It is in mint condition as you can see, Very powerful 150wpc. It is a monster of an amp fully RC line level, Cost me £1800. I would consider a swap for a good quaility power amp of similar value. Comes with original box and packageing. Upgraded valve, Genelec Gold Dragon.

out of all the vincent amps , this one seems to have a lot of fans ... quite a bargain and remote looks good too

Very nice Steve.

I would even consider a swap for a good quality Phono stage or MC cartridfe (Must be in mint condition)

Hi Steve, I have an Audion Silver Night Mk2 that I would consider swapping. It's a 300b SET power amp, with a volume control so it can be used as a single-input integrated.

Having had my friends Vincent on loan for two months whilst I waited for delivery of my new amp, I can honestly say that they are extremely good IMO, the SV-234 I had went to Jerry who I believe was pretty impressed with it. I think the 237 was the next one up the range.

Many thanks Steve but i already have low powered valve power amps. I was looking for something a little more powerful.

No worries Steve - I'm happy with the Audion, but you know how it is, sometimes you get an itch to try something else :) I would have bought your Vincent, but I already have a Bow integrated which I still haven't got round to selling, and there's only so much 'Hifi crap' (her words) I can keep in this little house!

Hi there,
As you can see I'm a new member so hope I'm doing this right. I am borrowing a Vincent SV-237MK at the moment with a view to buying one. It's a nice sounding amp and I'm trying to decide what I feel about it. I am driving Audio Note AN-J/Sp speakers which have an efficiency of about 93db/Watt, so at normal decent volumes, the Vincent volume knob only just comes off the stop! I do like the sound though, but because of that I'm not sure it's the best match...is this something you've experienced with yours??
Thanks. Tony

could you use some attenuated interconnects with it ?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. The amp input sens is 300mV and the CD output is 2.2mV so for that I need 11dB attenuation. I am using a PHO-701 phono stage but there is no ref to output voltage on the specs, just output impedance. Is there a formula for working out the output voltage? As an aside, do the voltage attenuators not have any negative effects?
Thanks for your input. Tony

I think the specs of the 701 show the gain though for mm and mc so depending on your cartridge you can work it out.

Ah okay....I'll have a look and see if I can work it out. Thanks.

The 701 has very typical gain figures of 40dB MM and 60dB MC.

So with a typical MM output of 5mV you will get 5mV x 100 = 500mV.
With a typical MC of, lets say, 0.4mV you will get 0.4 x 1000 = 400mV.

Thanks for that. I have an Audio Note IQ2 which I think has an output of 6.5mV which gives me an overall output of 650mV. As my CD output at 2.2V coupled with the amp sensitivity of 300mV requires attentuation of -11dB, what are the implications of the 650mV going into the same amp. Please excuse my ignorance if I'm missing something really basic/obvious!

Hi Steve, is your Vincent still for sale?
