Vincent has redefined the pure sound of hybrid technology with the SV-236. Particular care was taken with respect to the shielding: input relays as well as the remote control circuitry have their own shielded compartments and even the volume control hides behind a wall of steel.

Two gigantic lateral walls of cooling ribs imply purity of sound. In order to avoid hard and annoying distortions, altogether eight output transistors are doing their job at high bias currents, also known as Class-A mode of operation.

In order to preserve the sonic warmth of a musical rendition, Vincent has employed a set of double-triodes also in the circuitry of the preamplifier section. When listening, you savour the sonority of the basses and its rendering of jazzy rhythms makes you tap your feet. A fluid midrange and silky trebles provide a generous soundstage and swinging elegance for any kind of music. This is indeed a combination for music lovers that prefer a tube-sound at its best.

The illumination of the vacuum tubes can be dimmed or switched off.
