Vincent SA-T7 + SP-T700 Hi-Fi Package

Vincent Hi-Fi Hybrid Tube Preamp + Power Amp Pack

Pairing Vincent's SA-T7 MK Preamplifier with the SP-T700 mono block power amplifiers was a no brainer! Vincent have meticulously designed these units to compliment one another and provide a luxurious listening experience. The combination of vacuum tubes and solid state technology means you get the sweetness of tubes, but the power and efficiency of transistors.

What's Included:

• Vincent SA-T7 MK Stereo Tube Preamplifier
• 2 x Vincent SP-T700 Mono Block Power Amplifiers

Vincent Stereo Tube Preamplifier

After several successful years, Vincent have revised their reference preamplifier. The SA-T7 becomes the SA-T7 MK. Beside the modernised design, the preamp also has a Bluetooth input, which allows you to transfer your music from any mobile phone or tablet to the unit easily.

The new SA-T7 MK still combines linear amplification with extremely low levels of unwanted noise thanks to the BestPentode circuit developed by Dipl-Ing (Master of Engineering) Frank Blöhbaum inside the SA-T7 MK, essentially eliminating distribution noise typical of vacuum tubes.

BestPentode Tube design

The SA-T7 MK stereo preamplifier has many selling points that make it a fine addition to your Hi-Fi system. The most notable of these is it's linear amplification method, which results in an extremely low level of noise introduced into the signal. Far lower than any other preamplifier in its range. This is achieved with Vincent's new valve technology.

The BestPentode device has a higher level of amplifying small noise than other triodes. This high-level grid pentode type CV6189 tube displays its whole potential. This tube is a new old stock (NOS) from storage that was used for amplifying high-frequency signals around the clock in telecommunication and has a guaranteed service life of 10,000 hours.

The impedance converter consists of a grid triode type 6S3P-EV. A long life Russian military-grade vacuum tube that was used in a MIG's airborne radar. The noiseless power supply connectors of the BestPentode device provides for an extremely pure audio transmission. Vincent developed their own module called Vimala (meaning in Sanskrit "pure, transparent and clear") for this purpose.

Adjustable

The SA-T7 MK's front panel features gain and tone-control options that allow you to make fine adjustments to the sound of your source material before it even hits the main amplifier. Make tone adjustments with the treble and bass dials on the front of the unit. Deactivating the Tone switch on the front of the unit bypasses these controls, giving you an easy method of listening direct, so you can choose to hear your source material with or without adjustments.

Connection Options

The SA-T7 MK includes connections for a wide range of audio sources, accepting both analogue sources via the 6 stereo RCA inputs, and digital sources via the Optical and Digital Coax inputs as well as a new Bluetooth wireless input. The digital inputs let you enjoy two-channel audio from Blu-ray players, streaming devices, set-top boxes, CD players, etc. In addition to this on the output side, the SA-T7 MK offers two stereo RCA-type preamp outputs along with one stereo RCA-type 'Record' out.

Vincent SP-T700 Hybrid Mono Block Power Amplifiers (x2)

For the SP-T700, Vincent has designed a completely new hybrid amplifier, exploiting the respective advantages of tubes and transistors in an innovative manner, combining them to create a harmonious whole. The SP-T700 is characterised by excellent reproduction features that remain constant over the entire frequency and load range and it has a superior power reserve.

The tubes are 100% selected frame grid tubes from the military sector. They are designed for a lifetime of 10,000 hours.

The Best of Two Worlds

Subtle reproduction of voices and acoustic instruments, plus the strength and punch of a huge rock stage - the SP-T700 is an exceptional power amplifier that meets such contradictory requirements with elegant ease. This is only possible due to the latest tube technology, combined with a transistor end stage. The outcome: Inspiring sound, plus power and comprehensive speaker control.

Vacuum tubes in hi-fi amplifiers are highly revered, and a sign of high manufacturing quality. Vincent takes their visual aesthetic just as seriously as the performance of their products. Because of this, Vincent has included a tube-viewing port on the front panel of their tubeLine products. With a switch on the back, you can switch the backlight on or off.
