Vincent Audio SV-600 Stereo Integrated Amplifier

Vincent SV-600: An All-Transistor Powerhouse With Class A Warmth

The Vincent SV-600 is the first integrated amplifier in Vincent's new solidLine 2.0 series. After several years of hybrid tube designs, Vincent returned to purely transistor-based gear, and the three-section front panel and twin VU meters pay homage to the original solidLine models.

It delivers 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 306 watts per channel into 4 ohms, with the first 10 watts per channel into 8 ohms in pure Class A. It comes in Black or Silver.

Fully Balanced Circuit

A FET differential amplifier feeds a common-base transistor stage. Vincent says this gives a very fast response (high slew rate), an exceptionally clean signal and stable behavior with difficult speaker loads.

16 Output Transistors and a Big Power Supply

The output stage uses 16 high-performance transistors. They draw on a high-power toroidal transformer and 40,000 µF of filter capacitors, which Vincent credits for deep, precise and powerful bass. The amp weighs 21.9 kg (48.3 lb).

Built-In DAC, HDMI ARC and Bluetooth

Alongside six analog inputs (five RCA and one balanced XLR), a built-in D/A converter accepts optical, coaxial and HDMI ARC sources. A Bluetooth module with an external antenna streams music from any phone or tablet.

How the SV-600 Fits Your System

The SV-600 is a one-box amplifier for a stereo system: connect your sources and speakers, and you are ready to play. Speaker A and B buttons let you run one pair, the other, or both. One pair can be 4 ohms or higher; when you run two pairs together, every speaker must be 8 ohms or higher.

Two Main In inputs (RCA and XLR) bypass the preamp section, so a home theater processor can use the SV-600 to power your front left and right speakers. A pre out follows the volume control and can feed a second amplifier or a powered subwoofer. Two 12V power-control outputs switch other components on and off with the amp.

What it will not do: there is no phono input, no headphone jack and no Wi-Fi or network streaming. It has no bass, treble or balance controls, and its HDMI ARC input does not support CEC, so your TV remote will not change its volume.

Who Is This Integrated Amplifier Best For?

• Owners of large or demanding speakers — 306 watts per channel into 4 ohms.
• Music and TV in one room — HDMI ARC and optical inputs bring in TV sound.
• Home theater fans — the Main In inputs let a processor drive your front speakers.
• Two-zone listeners — Speaker A and B outputs run a second pair of speakers.
• Not for — anyone who needs a built-in phono stage, headphone output, tone controls or network streaming.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

• Connect your speakers to the Speaker A terminals (and Speaker B for a second pair). The terminals accept 4 mm banana plugs.
• Plug analog sources into the five RCA inputs or the balanced XLR input.
• Connect a TV to the HDMI ARC or optical input, and other digital sources to the coaxial or optical input. Use the ANALOG/DIGITAL button to switch between analog and digital inputs.
• Screw on the included Bluetooth antenna, select input S1/BT and pair your device with "Vincent".
• Leave about 5 cm (2 in) of open space around the amp for airflow, and place it on a rack shelf rather than stacking other gear on it.

Pairs Well With

Complete your system:

• Floorstanding speakers — put 200 watts per channel to work.
• Phono preamplifiers — to add a turntable on a line input.
• Headphone amplifiers — for private listening, since the SV-600 has no headphone jack.
• Speaker cables — banana-terminated cables fit the SV-600's terminals.
• Audio racks — a sturdy shelf with room to breathe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SV-600 a Class A amplifier?

Vincent calls it a Class A integrated amplifier. Its first 10 watts per channel into 8 ohms are pure Class A, and it delivers up to 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 306 watts into 4 ohms.

Can I connect my TV?

Yes, through the HDMI ARC input or the optical input. The HDMI ARC input does not support CEC, so use the Vincent remote for volume.

Can it drive 4-ohm speakers?

Yes, with one pair connected. If you run Speaker A and B pairs at the same time, every speaker must be rated at 8 ohms or higher.

What does the GAIN button do?

The GAIN button on the remote lowers the output by 8 dB, which helps with very efficient speakers.

Does it turn itself off?

Yes. It switches off after about 15 minutes without use. You can turn this off with the AUTO switch on the back panel.

What comes in the box?

The amplifier, a power cable, a remote control, a Bluetooth antenna, a 3.5 mm power-control cable, an optical (Toslink) cable and the manual.
