Vincent PHO 701 Phono Preamplifier MM/MC w/Outboard Power Supply - Black

Le voci sono il punto forte di questo pre-phono. E la capacità di far saltare fuori alcuni armonici nascosti. Ottima qualità costruttiva. Sound stage presente, ben dimensionato, dettagliato. Ma anche caldo, come si addice ad un valvolare.

After installing this unit I noticed an incredible difference in the low end of the music. The bass seemed tighter and smoother, the highs are smoother especially in the vocals. I'm using this preamp with both MM and MC cartridges, and getting amazing results. The ability to change the impedance allows for fine tuning to maximize your sound. For this price, the difference you get is remarkable. Worth every penny if you want to improve your listening experience.

Sicher verpackt und sehr schnell geliefert. Lob an den Händler!*** Das Gerät ist auf allen Ebenen Spitzenklasse. Sehr schöne Optik. Makellos und extrem hochwertig. Der klang ist nach Einspielzeit eine Wohltat für die Sinne. Da hat sich jeder Cent gelohnt. In meiner Systemkettw läuft ein Pro-Ject Dark Side of the Moon mit dem Pick it Pro Tonabnehmer. Das Signal geht nach dem PHO 701 in einen Vincent SA 32 und von dort aus direkt an ein paar Elac Navis 51 ARB . Eine wünschenswerte Veränderung am PHO 701 : Etwas umständlich ist der ein/aus Schalter auf der Rückseite des Netzteils. Für den inneren Aufbau und den Zweck der kurzen Wege sicherlich dienlich, aber in der Anwendung wäre ein Schalter an der Frontseite besser zu bedienen.

This preamp matches my system well. I have a Clear Audio Concept Wood turntable with a Clarify tonearm and Concept MC cartridge. This preamp can be tuned to the impedance level of the cartridge and provides clean sound to my Marantz SR7012 receiver with sound through Klipsch Forte III speakers. The quality of the pieces are well-matched and I have never heard vinyl sound so good. The lynch pin is the Vincent PHO 701 Preamplifier which produces the clean crisp sound from the turntable at a fraction of the cost of other preamplifier. Plus, it is a tube preamp. Other writers suggest that tubes create a warmer sound. I don't know what I "warm" sound is, all i know is this system sounds fantastic and I am glad I have this preamplifier. There was some initial buzzing but grounding the turntable to the preamplifier and the preamplifier to the receiver eliminated the buzz and it sounds great! Highly recommend.

I was using the Pro-Ject MM Phono preamp prior to purchasing this one. After upgrading my power cleaner and spending upwards of $1,000 on cables, it seemed criminal to not upgrade to a more robust preamp. I'm not a big fan of flourishes in product reviews, but this upgrade made a night and day difference to the audio quality. The added depth and warmth to the music makes me regret not purchasing this earlier. The added sonic clarity makes it sound like the performance is taking place in front of you. The isolated power supply was a huge consideration for me. Also being able to fine tune the preamp to the stylus cartridge you're using is fantastic. If all you're trying to do is play vinyl on your turntable and you're using $10 cables, this is probably more than you need and you won't be able to fully appreciate its capabilities, but if you've gone big with your system but don't quite want to go another $2,000 on a preamp, this one is very capable and an amazing value for the price.
