The Vincent story began very quietly in Germany back in 1995. It would get louder, yes, later there'd even be rumbles and shouts. Unfortunately it couldn’t be otherwise. But at the time it was so quiet that they didn't dare speak in anything but whispers and even the single “Psst” sounded like an explosion.

It all started with a quite ordinary question: How do we make High End affordable? Uwe Bartel, an electronics engineer,  set off looking for a valve amplifier by the direct route, working logically and continuously. The first products made a quiet entry in the press, but one that couldn't be missed. Then it got louder when Vincent expanded its product range and regularly thrilled the specialist press – and music lovers in particular. It thrills us and a whole army of Audio Trends customers who have fallen in love with the brand.
