Anyone have an experience with Belles Aria preamp & mono amps vs. tube integrated ?

Thanks for the input

I like the idea of no tinkering with the tube bias which the Primaluna will avoid but there is still tube life. My biggest question is do you miss the “tube sound” of the Rogue now that you have gone the Aria route? If I decide to go the Aria route I plan to do as you did pre-amp and a pair of monos.
I look forward to your observations of SS amp vs. tube amp sonic presentation.

Jenny I'm down the road outside Iowa City. I'd be happy to audition  the belles aria for you.

@jenney No I don't really miss the Rogue.  In the world of tube amps, it certainly wasn't the "tubyest", and frankly the Arias are very sweet sounding.  They won't be mistaken for pure class A SET, but they are very good and punch well above their class.  They did take some run-in time, during which they sounded competent but nothing to write home about.  They're relatively unappreciated because few stores carry them and they don't cost enough.
