The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier

arro222: yes love it but I have Belles separates now. MB-200 and

VT-01. I have had 100s of Int Amps this is the best

one I have heard so far, I have it for sale but still might 

keep it! 

troidelover1499: You might look Tube preamp, a used one. I have the VT-01 and I got it used for a great deal and it gives the warmth and richness you are looking for, although for a solid-state piece the Aria does sound tube like to me.... It would be interesting to see what the differences are, I did use the Aria with a TubeDac which was beneficial on what your looking for as well. This was a great combo with the Aria, and wish I would have kept it.  https://www.jolida.com/product/glass-fx-tube-dac-iii

I have MB-200 monoblocs and VT-01 and love the combo but I also have a Aria Int. and love it! It has zero issues running my Dynaudio C2 Platinums or Confidence 20s.. It would be interesting to see what is the main differences, besides modest increase in power. Dave makes great stuff and works of art that make my speakers sing the way I like them. 

ianmack: I am with you I have owned LFD, more overhead for a dealer if you ask me, great sounding product but I found the Aria Signature much better to my liking and it sounded much better to my liking. The only thing that bested it was my Belles MB-200 Mono blocs and VT-01.. Not sure if I am going to keep both, although I like the versatility of an Int. Amp. 

 

Anyone looking for a Belles Aria Signature PM me, as I have one in Silver that I am going to be posting on here soon..  or not, the more I listen to it, the less I want to let it go. 

Just curious as my Aria Signature Int is a year old, whats

the difference in the new Aria Signature Int which has a

different faceplate and back layout. 
 

thanks!

bkeske: I agree the MB-200 are much better in my opinion as I have owned both Aria and Aria Signature, both great Int. Amps and if you don't have the room a good choice, but hard to be separates in this category, I think it's one of this best built separate amp he has made. I also use his VT-01 Pre/Amp.
