Are Vincent intergrated tube amplifiers a step up from a Yahama 3010 AVR?

    Love my Vincent. I can’t imagine any AVR coming close it. I have an older H/K 7400 which was a TOTL model and a beast of an AVR, but I guarantee there is no comparing it to my Vincent.

    You also listened to mine a bunch too at LSAF, Ron. SV236 with the Usher V-601s.

    Do the newer model Vincent integrated amps have tube sockets, or are the tubes soldered?

    Ryan sold this integrated to me a few years back. I have since replaced it, but loved the time I spent with it. I can't imagine any AVR coming close to that Vincent.

    And you passed it on to me. I didn’t realize it had been in the “family” for so long. I’m still enjoying it and have no plans to move it to another Polkie.

    Paul, glad you're still enjoying it. I honestly had no plans to part with it, but I'm a sucker for a good looking tube rig. when Skip offered the Triode I ended up with, I was back and forth for weeks. I don't regret the move, but there are things I do miss about that Vincent! I believe it had one or two other polkie owners before Ryan as well. That's the great thing about this forum - gear moves not because it's not awesome, but because some just get upgrade/change fever. A lot of killer equipment has made it's way around to many folks on this forum. I'm glad to be a part of this as it's allowed me to try things I otherwise would not be able to.

    I almost pulled the trigger on that Triode. Great sounding and great looking unit. Agree with you about the greatness of buying gear here at CP. I wouldn’t have anywhere near the system I have today if it weren’t for this place. That’s part of the reason I hate seeing the forum as a shell of its former self.
