i have a vincent model 6, using 1 12 volt and 1 6 volt tube in the buffer stage. it retails for about $1800.
i am using it as a transport with a sigtone shek d2 16 bit dac. i am satisfied with the combination in that it doesn't bleed my ears. the cd player by itself is perhaps on the transparent side and a bit too detailed for my taste, but it seems to be a decent transport.
