VINCENT. High quality tube components from this German manufacturer include the new SV-236MK Class A 150 watt Hybrid Integrated Amp and companion CD-S6 Tube HDCD CD Player. Vincent does things a little different: defeatable tone controls on the SV-236MK and their other Integrated Amps and PreAmps, and HDCD and variable outputs on many of their CD Players, including the matching CD-S6. The SV-236MK also has a metal remote, preamp output, and two sets of speaker binding posts. Michael Fremmer of Stereophile preferred the Vincent SV-236 MK to a very good power amp costing more than 3 times the price and calls the Vincent "the kind of component that gives me...hope for the future of this great hobby." Stereophile Recommended Component. Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound said the SV-236 was the greatest value at CES 2006, and Barry Willis of TAS said in his glowing review, "A beauty...a winner..." and was impressed by "its sheer effortless power and musicality." It is also an Absolute Sound Editor's Choice Award winner. At 42 pounds the SV-236MK is a big amp with a big sound and plenty of finesse. The new SV-226 MKII 100 watt Hybrid Integrated Amp is a steal at $1499 retail! Highly recommended in the April 2008 Playback web magazine review for its build and parts quality and of course its exceptional sound. The SA-T1 Tube PreAmp sets the mark for a $1599 Pre and matches well with their SP-T100 100 watt Class A Hybrid Monoblocks and their SP-331 150 watt Hybrid Stereo Amp, which at $1199 is a lot of amp for the money. Our customers agree. So does The Absolute Sound August 2007 rave review: "the SP-331 is the best-sounding sub-$1000 amplifier I've yet heard...one of the sweetest deals in high-end audio today." Along with the incredibly affordable $599 SA-31 Hybrid line Preamp, it received The Absolute Sound Editor's Choice Award. It also has been named The Absolute Sound's Amplifier of the Year 2007! Vincent's top of the line SA-T8 Preamp and SP-T800 Monoblocks received very high praise from The Absolute Sound: The SA-T8 "is an absolute steal at its asking price," and the SP-T800 have "tube magic with pleanty of bass crunch and power drive."

HEGEL utilizes its patented Sound Engine Technology to do "dynamic real-time cancelling of error in the system." The "Sound Engine Technology" utilizes a "threshold detector," which identifies, calculates, and eliminates error in the playback chain. This translates to a more transparent sound to the source. Reviewers seem to agree that the CDP 2A CD player and H1mk4 Integrated amp, both which retail for $2995, have unusual transparency and low distortion. A slight richness to the mid bass is the only preceptible coloration, if it can be called that. Build quality is impeccible, styling is modern and handsome, sound quality excellent, and value is very high. Also from Hegel are the CDP 4A CD player, H200 200 watt amp, P2A and P4A preamps, and H2A and H4A integrated amps. Hegel, from Norway: put them on your map. Visit their website: www.hegel.com
