![]() The easiest way for me to explain the differences between the STOCK Vincent and CP2 is by a list, so here you go: I also know in the HiFi world, new gear like this always sounds its best after 50+ hours of burn in, and while many do not believe in burn in, I do.so I was giving the Vincent the benefit of the doubt. It had THAT going for it at least but I was disappointed as after reading GLOWING reviews I was expecting an IMPROVEMENT over the CP2, and having paid 2X the cost ($250 vs $500) I was let down, and ready to return the Vincent to Amazon for a refund but I couldn’t as I had to wait for it to burn in, and I had ordered a tube upgrade to try as well. While different from the big glorious crisp & wide soundstage of the CP2, the fresh out of the box PHO 700 was duller and smaller but voices were incredibly realistic. At the same time, there was a solidity and cohesiveness to the sound that struck me, in a good way, with the Vincent. Where I heard the soft breaths, or soft plucks with the CP2, they were gone with the Vincent. ![]() I heard a flatter sound, not as 3D and I was like “UH OH….I did it again”. In fact it sounded a tad muddled, soundstage shrunk a little and the details, some were lost and not heard, treble was softer. With the stock tube in and fresh out of the box I thought the sound was NOT as good as the $250 CP2. ![]()
