The third edition of our successful model is presented in a completely revised design. The SV-237 MKII appears more modern and elegant than its predecessors. Modern now also with the connection possibilities. In addition to two digital inputs, there is also a Bluetooth input on board. The unique circuit was developed by Frank Blöhbaum, who uses two 6N1P NOS tubes in the preamp section, which give the sound naturalness, musicality and warmth.
The Musicality Shines Through
The hybrid tube/transistor design brings you luxurious ‘golden age’ sound and solid state reliability. The second stage of the preamplifier section uses a pair of 6N1P-EV vacuum tubes. Their greater voltage level provides improved signal stability with higher spectral purity that brings out the fine details of a recording. The musicality of the tubes shines through! The sound is never cold or analytical.
The revised circuit design also delivers greatly improved signal-to-noise ratio. You’ll enjoy the explosive experience of a live performance thanks to the excellent dynamics. And enhancements to the volume control let you control the level via the included wireless remote.
The SV-237MK has six line level analog inputs, pre-out and record out, and four pairs of speaker outputs for bi-wiring. The front panel includes tone controls, which is a great feature when implemented correctly, as Vincent does, and it adds to the 'golden age' feel and performance of this component. A tone 'bypass' control switches the treble and bass controls out of the circuitry. Another great idea from the past is a 'Loudness' switch, which restores a lot of the dynamics when you're playing your SV-237 at low volume.
Digital Inputs
In addition to its analog connections, the SV-237MK has optical digital and coaxial digital inputs for your AV gear. Digital-to-analog conversion is provided by high quality Burr Brown units offering warm and detailed high resolution sound up to 192/24.
The SV-237MKII is three things high-end audio products are or at least want to be. It's big and powerful and rich.
