Belles Research Corporation? ?


I came across a power amp, looks to be 70's or 80's vintage called the Belles One, made by Belles Research Corporation. It's marked Made in the USA.

Any one heard of Belles Research?

I also looked at some old Belles gear locally - the amp was a model 150 and the preamp was a Symphonic. The only information I could find indicated the equipment was made in the late 1980's or early 1990's. The equipment was very well made and sounded good, but I figured I would call Belles (Power Modules) to see if they still supported the gear and provided schematics, etc. I was told there were no schematics and no support for the equipment any more. Needless to say I was disappointed and didn't buy it. I have owned other gear from reputable American manufacturers that are still in business such as Audio Research, Conrad-Johnson, McIntosh, and Cary, and every time I have asked for documentation or support their has never been an issue. It leads me to question why a company would abandon its older products and not provide any support. No Thanks - I didn't buy the equipment.
