    Default Vincent SV-234 Amplifier - excellent condition

    I am selling on behalf of my best friend his Vincent SV-234 solid state amplifier, he has owned it from new and used it for about 18 months before purchasing a valve amplifier. It has not been used for about 3 years until I tried it in my systems last week.

    The Vincent SV-234 is an extremely accomplished amplifier and is designed and voiced to give a reproduction as near as possible to a valve sound from a solid state amplifier. I can vouch for this having compared it directly with my pair of valve 300B mono block amps. The sound it produces is extremely good and punches well above its price tag, as reported in several reviews. It has its own remote control as shown. The unit is unmarked and looks like new, and comes with its original packaging as shown.

    I am more than happy to demonstrate it at my home.

    It is class A up to 10Watt, which is what you are likely to be using most of the time.

    Technical Specifications

    Frequency response: 20 Hz - 50 kHz +/- 0.5 dB,
    Nominal Output Power RMS / 4 Ohm: 2 x 289 Watt,
    Nominal Output Power Class A / 8 Ohm: 2 x 10 Watt,
    Total harmonic distortion: < 0.1 % (1 kHz, 1 Watt),
    Input sensitivity: 400 mV, Signal-Noise ratio: > 90 dB
    Input impedance: 47 kOhm,
    Input: 4 x Stereo RCA, 1 x Stereo XLR, 1 x Stereo RCA Main In, 2 x 3,5 mm Jack sockets (Power Control),
    Outputs: 2 x 4 Speaker Terminal, 1 x Stereo RCA Rec Out, 1 x Pre Out RCA, 2 x 3,5 mm Jack sockets (Power Control),
    Colour: Black or silver,
    Weight: 22 kg,
    Dimensions (WxHxD): 430 x 142 x 450 mm

    Price is £1300 and collection can be arranged either in East Devon near Lyme Regis or near Dorking, Surrey. This unit is very heavy and if you require it to be courier then this cost, insurance and arrangements are up to the purchaser.

    Please PM me to discuss or arrange a viewing.

    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Yes they are very well built and sound really good, one of the most natural sounding amps of this type I have ever heard.

    wonder what the rrp is ? i believe its a current model
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    RRP is around £2000 in the UK so the asking price of £1300 is pretty fair I think. This baby really is in superb condition and has only been used around 300-400 hours so just getting bedded in.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
