RRP $9,197Pairing Vincent's SA-T7 Preamplifier with the SP-T700 mono block power amplifiers was a no brainer! Vincent have meticulously designed these units to compliment one another and provide a luxurious listening experience. The combination of vacuum tubes and solid state technology means you get the sweetness of tubes, but the power and efficiency of transistors.
What's Included
- Vincent SA-T7 Preamplifier
- 2 x Vincent SP-T700 Mono Block Power Amplifiers
With the SA-T7 Vincent have developed a preamplifier that raises the bar and brings truly musical, pure amplification of the audio signal to a level rarely conceived of before with tubes. Thanks to the newly developed BestPentode circuit (developed by chartered engineer Frank Blöhbaum), the current distribution noise typical of pentodes is now a thing of the past.
The SA-T7 features a linear amplification method, which results in an extremely low level of noise introduced into the signal. Far lower than any other preamplifier in its range. This is achieved with Vincent's new tube technology.
The BestPentode device has a higher level of amplifying small noise than other triodes. This high-level grid pentode type CV6189 tube displays its whole potential. This tube is a new old stock (NOS) from storage that was used for amplifying high-frequency signals around the clock in telecommunication and has a guaranteed service life of 10,000 hours.
The impedance converter consists of a grid triode type 6S3P-EV. A long life Russian military-grade vacuum tube that was used in a MIG's airborne radar. The noiseless power supply connectors of the BestPentode device provides for an extremely pure audio transmission. Vincent developed their own module called Vimala (meaning in Sanskrit "pure, transparent and clear") for this purpose.
The SA-T7's front panel features gain and tone-control options that allow you to make fine adjustments to the sound of your source material before it hits the main amplifier. Make tone adjustments with the treble and bass dials on the front of the unit. Deactivating the Tone switch on the front of the unit bypasses these controls completely, giving you the option of listening to a pure direct audio path.
The SA-T7 includes connections for a wide range of audio sources, accepting both analogue sources via the 6 stereo RCA inputs, and digital sources via the Optical and Digital Coax inputs. The digital inputs let you enjoy two-channel audio from Blu-ray players, streaming devices, set-top boxes, CD players, etc. Inside the SA-T7 is a PCM 5100-based DAC providing 24-bit/192 kHz performance, so your digital content is reproduced correctly in top-notch analogue format. In addition to this on the output side, the SA-T7 offers two stereo RCA-type preamp outputs along with one stereo RCA-type 'Record' out.
For the SP-T700, Vincent has designed a completely new hybrid amplifier, exploiting the respective advantages of tubes and transistors in an innovative manner, combining them to create a harmonious whole. The SP-T700 is characterised by excellent reproduction features that remain constant over the entire frequency and load range and it has a superior power reserve.
The tubes are 100% selected frame grid tubes from the military sector. They are designed for a lifetime of 10,000 hours.
Subtle reproduction of voices and acoustic instruments, plus the strength and punch of a huge rock stage - the SP-T700 is an exceptional power amplifier that meets such contradictory requirements with elegant ease. This is only possible due to the latest tube technology, combined with a transistor end stage. The outcome: Inspiring sound, plus power and comprehensive speaker control.
Vacuum tubes in hi-fi amplifiers are highly revered, and a sign of high manufacturing quality. Vincent takes their visual aesthetic just as seriously as the performance of their products. Because of this, Vincent has included a tube-viewing port on the front panel of their tubeLine products. With a switch on the back, you can switch the backlight on or off.
