I can vouch for the sound being very musical. I had the original version, one of the first 250 amps built and my friend bought it from me on the spot when I took it over to his system. We put it up against an Ayre(very good but not with a passive pre) and a VPI stereo 85 watt tube amp and the Belles was much more musical though without the tube bloom and dimentionality. Build quality which I am very picky about is great. I love Ayre but it was not a good match in this particular system using a passive-thin sounding. But with a pre, fantastic
Belles 250i
I am looking for a hybrid int. This one interests me, but I can not audition it. I would appreciate thoughts on this unit and what you have compared it to.
Thanks
