Vincent Audio SP-20 Anniversary Edition, Class A stereo hybrid tube/solid state amplifier
Truly an amazing amp rated at 2 x 150W into 8ohm with the first ~10W Class A biased and 2 x 250W into 4ohm - it has a massive toroidal transformer and is totally overbuilt. It is a beautiful looking and, more importantly, sounding piece - I don't think the pictures do it justice in how nice it looks! Also worth noting that the color of the VU meter windows can be changed with a switch on the back (clear/white, blue, red, green).
Two 6N16 tubes working in differential push-pull mode form the input stage. The more powerful 6N10 tube transmits the signal to the transistor output stage. 12 FET transistors amplify the signal. The signal amplifying is supported by 8 electrolytic capacitors with a total of 10,000 yF. The power amplifier presents itself in the guaranteed Vincent style. The bass is precise and powerful whereas the mid and high signals sound direct and transparent. Thanks to the tube, a warm and clean sound emerges from the unit.

I am the second owner and have put less than 50 hours on this amplifier and boxed it back up after taking pictures and making sure it worked flawlessly. The original owner opened up the sealed double box on November 13th, 2021 - so it is absolutely MINT.
This is 1 of 60, with the silver faceplate, made in the world (they made 60 silver and 60 black).
I pulled it out of my stand so that I could take pictures in better lighting outside of the stand. As you'll see in the pictures, the protective plastic is still on the glass VU meter windows so that it remains perfect.
Comes with a custom fitted and embroidered cover that is a two piece design. They start with a heavy, static resistant felt to protect against scratches, then cover the felt with a waterproof, dust proof, yet breathable, ballistics nylon** outer "shell" to protect against dust, spills, and scuffs/scratches. All seams and hems are lock-stitched sewn and corners are over sewn for strength and durability. This yields a very thick and heavy duty cover. The back of the cover feature a full flap that allows all the cabling and wires to remain attached to the equipment with the cover installed.
Comes with original factory double boxes.
