Thinking about selling my Vincent 737


Hello! I'm still sort of a noob when it comes to the audiophile stuff, so be gentle!

So, ive had my Vincent sv737 for a couple years now, and make no mistake, i love the thing-- albeit without a lot of a/b reference points. But i think i might be ready to try something new. I love the soundstage and 3d depth of tube sound, but also like tight bass and detail. My question is: if i sold this guy, what would be my best bet? I have a gustard x26pro dac, a zen ifi streamer, and some klipsch rf8000 f speakers.

Was thinking a tube pre amp and a separate solid state power amp or mono blocks?

*Having the dac and streamer is a part of why im considering the sell. Im not using the built-in ones in the 737. Maybe i can get more bang for my buck?

 

Thanks!

Your weak point is your loudspeakers. The Klipsch RF8000s are OK but you can do better. I'd keep the Vincent, it's a nice unit. Start shopping for something that sounds good to you. Upgrading your electronics won't get you much for your money.

Look at a Schiit Vidar 2 Amp $799 and a Freya+ Preamp $1049 or mono blocks Tyr $1599 each.

@russ69, makes a good point.

Yeah, i plan to upgrade my speakers soon. But my thought was currently that i dont utilize the wifi or the dac built into the vincent as they are superfluous. So maybe i could sell it and get something better without the bells and whistles i dont need. 

I agree with Russ above. Your integrated is fairly powerful and really well reviewed. I would look at speakers 1st then look at a new amp later if you still feel the need to do so.
