    I have to sell my Mark Levinson 331, and I am looking for a cheaper replacement. I am looking at a Schiit Vidar, but there is a like new Vincent SP331 available locally. What is a "good price" for it?

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I've been keeping an eye out for an SP-331, alternative to the Vidar - wasn't overly fond of it.. .but thinking I should have kept it. Trying to match up something with a pair of Maggie LRS.

    The SP-331 appears to be just flooding the EU market, but up here in Canuckville I'm obviously not using 240V mains. Anyone cracked the case and taken a look at the transformer to see if it has 120V primaries? That would be sweet, but a long shot.

    I like the hybrid idea, it would give me a little tube goodness given I don't use a preamp. I had the freya and heard a significant improvement by removing it from the chain when critically compared. I just use an XDA-2 straight out.

    I was using an Aleph J, but decided to go in a different direction. I have one of the original production Yamaha NS A-760 which actually isn't terribly shabby, but wondering if even it is struggling here and there under demand.
