Vincent Audio SV-228 Integrated Amplifier

4.5

Best hybrid amplifier for audiophiles seeking warmth and modern connectivity.

It is a versatile centerpiece for the modern listener, though you will have to sacrifice a minimalist aesthetic for its bold, retro-inspired VU meters and extensive feature set.
