Timing matters a bit here because this is an older, discontinued hybrid headphone amp, so value depends more on condition and whether you want Vincent’s tube-flavored presentation than on chasing the newest model. At US$65, it is a strong bargain versus the usual used market, which shows roughly US$214-equivalent asking prices on current second-hand listings, with the MK II variant originally sold at US$499.95 new.
What makes it worth grabbing is the classic Vincent hybrid approach: a tube input stage with transistor power, aimed at a smooth, slightly rich sound that many headphone fans still like for long listening sessions. If it powers up cleanly and the tube is healthy, this is the kind of piece that can be a very satisfying “big sound for little money” buy; at this price, I’d mainly care about basic functionality, clean pots/switches, and whether any original power supply or packaging is included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
