Vincent Audio SP-331 Hybrid Power Amplifier (Black)

The unit is flawless souls is rich deep and transparent. The more it is used the better it sounds .. tube break in..

Very good, considering the price.

Its going through its break in stage, not even a week old... So far I am at awe with this mid size power house.. the inside of this amp is now updated with better inside shielding, very similar to the 2500 dollar 331MK. The build quality with this amp makes manufacturers like Rotel look cheap from the inside out.. I didn't purchase this amp from Amazon but I felt it was worth it to put another proud and positive review on the web.I have a lot of experience with so many different hi-end products since I was 10 years old, I am so happy to see a company like Vincent offer something like this at a decent price, this Vincent SP-331 amp is in the reality zone where so many people can reach at it and buy it.. It can absolutely go up against Bryston,NAD First watt and Conrad Johnson, just to name a few. My first thoughts was I hope those little tubes aren't cheesy and might be a joke, I was hesitant to go for it but thank God I read so many awesome reviews I couldn't hold back. It has a soft delicate beautiful presentation with a rich body on vocals.. imaging is top class just like anything else out there that's going for 3 grand or more.. Yup that's right.I read some reviews that said the sound stage wasn't as deep as some amps costing about 5 grand or more but what I realized with some really bling looking amps like Jeff Rowland and I had hands on with the model 2.. that amp had a good sound stage but a very thin shrill sound. I'm glad I got rid of that amp. All Hype, its easy to make something look good from the outside but its the inside circuit that counts, its the soul of everything in any electronic circuit/components.. I did hear about Jeff''s older amps sounding warmer or maybe I should think better balanced on the spectrum. If you buy this amp I really don't think you will go wrong give it a chance and let it break in.. I will up date this review in about 2 weeks.. buy it try it.Oh the CD 1.2 player is amazing too
