Sorry, but it wasn't me that made any "predisposed audiophile assumptions."

All I did was remark that I wouldn't be interested in a turntable with a built-in phono stage. That's based preference, not assumption. For the same reason, I don't care for integrated amplifiers, or preamplifiers with built-in phono sections.

To answer your question: No, I haven't heard the Vanquish. That's why I didn't make any comment about how it might sound.
