Vincent Audio SV-500 MK – hybrid integrated amplifier update
01.12.2024 09:10 | ~1 minute read
Vincent Audio has updated the popular hybrid integrated amplifier Vincent Audio SV-500, which was named Vincent Audio SV-500 MK. The new product is equipped with a new DAC chip that supports 32-bit / 384 kHz resolution, a Bluetooth module and an HDMI ARC input. Like its predecessor, the Vincent Audio SV-500 MK input stages are implemented on tubes, and the output stages are transistor ones, which allows it to develop a power of 50 watts when working on a load with a nominal resistance of 8 ohms and 80 watts for 4 ohms in each of the channels.
The switching arsenal of the SV-500 MK integrated amplifier from Vincent Audio includes two analog linear unbalanced inputs on RCA connectors, digital optical and coaxial ports, an HDMI ARC input. There are both linear and variable preamp outputs.
The Vincent Audio SV-500 MK preamplifier stages feature two 6N1 dual triodes and a 12AX7 dual triode. The tubes are designed for a longer lifespan, conservatively estimated at 10 years. The Vincent Audio SV-500 MK Hybrid Integrated Amplifier is available in silver and black finishes with a suggested retail price of $1,499.95.

The SMSL PL200T also has the ability to play MQA-CDs and a very interesting function of working as a digital transport - the device can be used as a digital interface with a USB-C input, supporting digital streams in PCM format with a resolution of up to 32 bit/768 kHz and in DSD format up to DSD512.
Børresen Unveils Six New Floorstanding Speakers in T Series
Børresen has announced significant changes to its range of loudspeakers - the new Børresen T series of loudspeakers, consisting of three models of different sizes (T1, T3 and T5) and three upgraded SSE (Silver Supreme Edition) versions, will replace the Børresen 0 series in the company's product range.
Accuphase A-48S – Current Feedback Topology Amplifier
The current feedback amplification topology and powerful power supply of the new Accuphase A-48S amplifier provides a large reserve and stable output in pure Class A. For a load with an impedance of 8 ohms, 50 watts are available, and halving the load impedance doubles the output power. With a short-term drop in load impedance to 1 ohm, the amplifier is capable of delivering a power of 400 watts.
