    Have never owned any Vincent gear,sure like the "looks" of most of their offerings.

    I've read were all of their products,like many others,are made in China...Audio Adviser handles several of their items.

    I just found out what you are saying designed in Germany made in china, so i'm assuming the bk would be a better quality product.

    Why would assume that? :confused:

    Well maybe you are right they do say never assume, the word itself does explain the obvious reason. Do you believe otherwise Early?

    I haven't heard any, but he internal pics of Vincent gear I've seen appear to be well constructed and a decent value. That said, unless you're buying NIB only, there are lots of other options on the used market in the same price range that I would also consider, especially int. tube amps.

    Vincent is well made gear, but you can save quite a bit of $$$ by going with Kavent or Sheng Ya. Internally, they are virtually identical.

    Well early just a preference i'm going with NIB not located in the US so, warranty means a lot not always a 100% guarantee but it helps. So far most of the stuff i bought brand new has never given me a penny of problems. But buying used is definately tempting, plus if i lived in the States or Canada for sure it would be a priority. The more i keep thinking about it i just might try the outlaw option.
