Amplifier Vincent SV-232Describe the appearance of Vincent SV-232 makes no sense - even the most inveterate snob or grumbler his appearance will cause positive emotions. It can be stated that the component is beautiful. Not because it is stuffed with colorful flashing lights or plastered with advertising stickers beautiful, and thanks to the perfection of forms and ultimatum quality materials. The keys on the front, made of milled aluminum and perform standard functions. Included, of course, there is a remote control - an attractive metal bar, but what about the convenience of using it can be argued: apparently manufacturer guided winged phrase that beauty demands victims. On the back side of the case there is only a gentleman's set of connectors: six input stereo RCA, loop recording on tape and the preamp. Two pairs of screw terminals for acoustics caused no surprise. And we found three nests for trigger control components. In this line of original art is still the name of the Solid Line, indicating the particular reliability, solidity and durability. That body Vincent SV-232 is made of dense metal sheets, providing excellent vibro-isolation. In order to protect against any interference and influences within it is divided by partitions into three parts. One section is a powerful toroidal transformer, weighing in at least a third of the weight of the device, the other hides amplifying units, and the latter contains the display and control unit. By the way, the display brightness can drown - for this is the mode Dimmer. In the role of the pre-amp used a diagram similar to that implemented in the top model Vincent SA-93Plus, and that's a completely different price level. Discrete output stage - it involved two pairs of transistors that can be issued for a total of one-third of the acoustics of a kilowatt at 4 ohms. To change the volume of the selected electronic control - it is practically eternal and different excellent accuracy and smooth adjustment. In general, all components for Vincent SV-232, and they are the highest quality, prior to assembly are subject to strict and careful selection.
Testing Vincent SV-232, as well as previous participants began with a path, which involved Mighty popular turntable with MM cartridge and phono stage remote diblock Vincent PHO8/PHO8ps. Is not it true, what an interesting coincidence. This device we often use when we need to change the lamp module on the transistor. After all, the man was first introduced to the world of vinyl, is unlikely to be immediately acquire a very expensive tube phono stage, the more benefit from it will be still more in all-tube tract. So, by chance we have formed a great tandem of two devices of the same brand. And this is bound to affect the result. Music on vinyl played vividly detailed, emotionally and amazingly easy. Very well reproduced modern editions of albums, with a digital nature. Usually when comparing CD and hear records that the first carrier has a more dynamic and deep bass, but in our case we would not say that caught much of a difference. Test audiophile compilation CDs revealed the full potential of Vincent SV-232, and it turned out great. Perfect detail, the air volume, depth and relief scenes - all present in the works of all the major genres. More pleased with the ability of the amplifier does not distort the signal at high power - metal gentlemen, there is something to think about. Equally, we recommend this model and the apologists of good jazz music - from gospel to bebop, from swing to mainstream, from fusion to avant-garde.
