Vincent Audio announced the limited production run of the new SA-T7 Diamond, a tube preamplifier featuring prized German Telefunken tubes manufactured decades ago.
The new preamp features the same audiophile-grade circuitry as its two predecessors, in addition to a built-in Bluetooth receiver. However, this latest version includes Telefunken PCF803 tubes that are so valuable, the designer, Frank Blohbaum created a new version of the SA-T7 that is built around them, the company says.
Available in both black and silver, the new SA-T7 Diamond features the original circuitry as the previous version, where linear amplification is combined with extreme low-noise characteristics, thanks in part to the BestPentode-circuit, developed by Mr. Blohbaum, that eliminates the electrical current noise often associated with pentode tubes. The BestPentode stage employed on the SA-T7 Diamond boasts a much higher gain with less noise than comparable triodes.
The SA-T7 Diamond features connections for a wide range of analog and digital audio sources, accommodating both analog and digital. Included are six stereo RCA-type connections, one Toslink optical digital connection, and one coax digital connection. Internally, there is a PCM 5102-based DAC providing 24-bit/192 kHz performance. Bluetooth 5.0 allows listeners to wirelessly stream high-resolution audio files to the preamplifier.
Extremely pure audio transmission is accomplished with a low-noise power supply couplings of the BestPentode stage. Vincent Audio developed a proprietary module for this stage, called Vimala, the Sanskrit term for, “pure, transparent, clear.” A second gain stage affords precision control over treble and bass, though tone controls can be bypassed to hear the purest music signal.
