Cables more hype than value?

@ Mrtennis, Hi, I agree with your last post,The vincent players uses teac transports, they work fine to me as well!, I may buy another vincent for the second system I will build!, I am going to audition the Esoteric K-03 player in due time, If that sounds fantastic, I will go with that on the main system, If it does not, Its vincent all the way baby!, they are very musical players indeed!, cheers.

Often you need to buy better tubes wenn you want to buy a Vincent. Often within one years the sound of there own tubes was not the same anymore as wenn they were new.

Thanks Bo1972, I did not know that, my problem I have with vincent is, If I am not mistaken, the tubes in the vincent cd-s7 are hard wired!, I have never seen that before, do you believe that could be chanched some where socket tube plug in like most componets out there?

I checked the inside of the cd s7 dac and cd a7 on the Vincent website.

there is no evidence that the tubes are hard wired.

I also called a California dealer, who said the tubes are not hard wired.

@ Mrtennis, Hi, Thankyou, looking at the audio visor catalog, they show the tubes with no pins for tube sockets, It clearly shows the tubes with wires coming straight from the bottom of the tubes, It is a pic with the tubes out side of the unit, they have showed this pic many times with the vincent cd-s7 player, I hope you are correct, That would be grand to be able to tube roll the unit my self if I get another vincent player.
