New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE

Wow!!..Looks like John hit another home run at Bel Canto with the just released REF 600M using NCORE amplifiers. 300 watts into 8ohms. $4500.00 a pair. The REF 1000M is out of production. I have a feeling this is Bel Canto's best amp ever below the Bel Canto Black. Look forward to Guido checking it out.

Forgot to mention detail retrieval as well....I do think the 600's are a bit more detailed over the whole spectrum versus the 500's.

As noted above, Bel Canto does feel that these are the best amps they have built (not counting the Black amps). These are trickle down tech from the Blacks.

Hi Taylor, how many hours on your REF600 pair? Seems to me that the NCore NC500 module might require at least 500 hours of signal grinding in order to deliver its very best performance.

Hi Goldprintaudio, thanks for the report. Can you list the specific components you are listening the REF600Ms with?

Since I'm a dealer, the equipment list varies quite often. The amps are currently loaned out to a customer, but I was running them in with a Bel Canto 3.7 with a Sonos Connect streaming Deezer. I had both DeVore 3xl's and Joseph Pulsars hooked up so far (also Alta Lelantos for a bit).

Hi Goldprintaudio. It's been several weeks since your last post. Have you listened to your REF600M's recently and has your customer who had them on loan given you an evaluation of the amps?
