Vincent SV-700

Very low hours, I like this enough to move to Vincent monoblocks.. Upgraded signal tubes to NOS vintage Amperex (rectifier is stock). Orig box with unwrapped (brand new) remote. Will ship FedEx ground.fully insued.....

In order to minimize crosstalk and achieve very low levels of distortion, Vincent decided upon a symmetrical dual mono design. In the preamp section, three tubes per channel (1 x 12AX7, 2 x 12AU7) operate in SRPP (Shunt Regulated Push-Pull) mode for precise bass and enhanced performance in the midrange and high frequencies.
 

The SV-700 is supplied with a full complement of connections for accommodating sound sources. Included are four analog inputs consisting of three unbalanced RCA pairs and one balanced XLR pair. For connecting recording devices and external amplifiers, there is one REC output RCA pair and PRE output RCA pair. You also get two pairs of speaker outputs and switchable Speaker A/B operation.

On the digital side, the SV-700 provides one coaxial digital input and one optical digital input. An internal DAC offers CD-quality sound.

For operational convenience, the SV-700 includes a wireless remote control made of beautiful and nice-to-the-touch aluminum. The SV-700's elegant full-aluminum chassis with enormous cooling fins gives a visual impression of the power and grace of this powerful integrated amp.

The SV-700's 500-watt power supply uses a toroidal transformer with Panasonic capacitors that are able to provide instantaneous high current on demanded for musical peaks. Final amplification is provided in either Class A or AB operation via powerful Toshiba transistors. These work without any negative feedback in order to preserve the characteristic features of tube sound. A front panel button lets you choose either Class A (with 50-watt-per-channel output at 8 ohms) or Class AB operation (providing 100-watt-per-channel output at 8 ohms or 200-watts-per-channel at 4 ohms). You can switch between Class A and Class AB while the music is playing.
