Need some advice, Vincent Audio

big_greg,
 do recall the brand and model of the tubes you replaced the originals with, in case I want to try them, Thanks

I have owned several well reviewed integrated amps in the 2-4K range from Yamaha, Wells Audio, Hegel, Primare, Kinki Srudio and a few others and Vincent was a real standout. 

I’ve owned the 236 mk, 226 mk and the 237 and liked the 237 the best. Like big_greg I now own Simaudio (i7) but really miss the 237.

I used RCA triple mica black plate 5751 in the 12ax7 spot and vintage Reflektor‘s in the 6n1p position and it sounded great,

I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the 737 if you get it.

These are the tubes I used in the SV-237:

Tung-Sol 12AX7A - long gray plates, halo getter, phono grade

Voskhod 6N1P 

That really smoothed out the sound and improved dynamics. 

I've always been curious about their amps. Good to hear these positive comments. They're often available used for reasonable prices.

I have the Vincent SV-500 coming up on 2 years now.

Really nice and smooth. I haven't tried any tube rolling but I also haven't felt a need to. Everything from Vinyl to Digital sounds great.

I am thinking about perhaps getting a amp and using it as a pre-amp but have also pondered about upgrading to the SV-237MK.

The new 737 looks like a beast for sure.
