you need a separate headphone amplifier with high quality discrete amplifier circuitry.

But the Vincent SA-96 is much more than this: the combination of a high quality stereo preamplifier for three high level sources (CD player, tuner etc.), a headphone amplifier and a player for MP3 music from USB data storage media. So with this preamplifier, suitable main amplifiers and loud- speakers, you can build a small stereo system that positively stands out from the standard format of normal hifi components.

As a headphone preamplifier this device fulfils the desire to switch between and listen to various music sources in the best quality without having to use an amplifier with loudspeaker outputs. The system can then be upgraded to a pre-and-main-

re. Two stereo preamplifier outputs permit connec- tion to one or more main amplifiers. The unmodi- fied signal of the currently chosen source can be transmitted via the recording output to a recording device. If the main amplifier(s) and audio sources used support POWER CONTROL, the entire system can be switched on and off with one switch on this preamplifier. Naturally, it all comes with the highest quality workmanship and an out- standing price performance ratio.

Technically and visually designed for Vincent’s solidLine, the device is especially suitable as preamplifier for the Vincent SP-996 or SP-997 models. This preamplifier is also the ideal partner for Vincent CD players and tuners. In combination with the HiFi furniture and speaker cables from the range, one can build a perfectly harmonious system.
