edited April 28 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
It's been a sad week of selling off some of my equipment in my quest for an end game (for me) integrated for my 2 channel system. I've sold my Usher 6311 which I didn't think I'd ever part with, my LSiM702 surrounds, and my Usher center channel is also for sale. This is the hardest one to let go. I've sung its praises since I bought it about 5 years ago, and I may regret letting it go as I love the Vincent look AND sound.

Unit is in great shape. I recently replaced one of the tubes with a Genelex Gold Lion and noticed a slight improvement in soundstage and separation. The other two tubes are the tubes that were in the unit when I received it.

This piece has had a few owners here at CP. I believe it started with @kevhed72 who passed it on to @ZLTFUL, who passed it on to @scubalab, who passed it on to me. I'd really like for it to stay in the family.

$1000 to your door CONUS with paypal f&f or you pay the fees. I have the owner's manual, remote, and the tool for taking the top off. I think I have a generic power cable, but I'll confirm that before any sale. I also have the original box, plus an outer box for shipping.

I feel strongly that this is one of the best integrated out there in this price range.

    I'll try to take some better pictures. I didn't realize those were so dark until I posted them.

    Good grief. I just realized I put the wrong model number in the title. As you can see from the picture with owner’s manual, it’s an SV-236MK.

    I noticed the paint missing a little bit where one of the screws goes in on the top so I wanted to post a picture of it. When taking the picture, I noticed one of the speaker terminals slightly bent. I guess it’s been this way as long as I’ve owned it because I can’t imagine I’ve done anything to bend it. Anyway, here’s a pic.

    I also noticed today that when plugged into my Wireworld Power Port, there is a clicking noise when powered on. Plugged into the wall, there is no noise. I made a couple of videos and will try to post them

    Free bump for an off topic question -

    Shunyata PC?

    Yes. Shunyata Venom

    On another note, I accidentally deleted the video of the clicking, so I’ll have to record another one.

    No more clicking. I installed two new tubes and it hasn’t clicked since.

    As mentioned in another thread, $3000 for this and my Usher MD2’s to established members.

    I suspect that the missing paint is intentional, for grounding purposes.

    Not to discredit that notion but usually that is done on the other side of the panels where it's not visible

    This is no longer for sale at the moment. Having some issues with tubes that I want to get worked out before selling. I think it’s nothing more than I purchased a bad tube, but I want to run it for a little while to confirm. I’ll start a new thread if/when it becomes available again.

    Some of us have tube testers, we could test tubes for you.

    Thanks Ivan.

    So here’s the deal: a few months ago the Vincent was making a clicking noise when powering on. I changed the front tube and all was well. A couple of weeks ago the clicking came back so I ordered a pair of new tubes for the back. Again, new tubes, no clicking. Well, I turn it on a couple of days ago and I’ve got no sound in the left speaker. Troubleshooting leads me to the tube which is a goner. Since the integrated is for sale, I had the box inside and I found an extra tube that I never knew I had. I put it in and, so far, problem solved. BUT, I want to give it some time before selling it now.
