Can’t beat a deal like that, for sure. However, I too had a hot rod version of the amp in my collection that I sold, shortly after acquiring my 1st Nuforce STA 200. The Belles in comparison, sounded dark, lacked detail and had a withdrawn presence compared to the little Nuforce. Maybe it was needing a rebuild or a recap ( the inside looked stellar ), but out with the old, and in with the new. A good amp though, and if matched to the right speakers and front end gear, can easily get you enjoying your tunes.
Belles original 150 amplifier. Any good?
Hello all, just a quick question. I just grabbed an original Belles 150 amplifier for $50. I opened it up before I powered it up. The caps, etc look ok so I plugged her in and it seems to work fine.
I’ve read this amp can be sensitive to certain preamps. Any truth to this? Is this amp worth keeping?
any recommendations on a preamp that matches up well?
thank is advance!
