The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier

The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier has landed at the Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. I think John said 120 watts per channel with a phono stage that supports both MM and MC cartridges. 3 Single ended and 1 balanced input and output. Sounds great even though the unit has less than 24 hours on it.

👍🏼 I’ve had my MB200’s for more than a couple months now, and am very pleased. Installed new power cords (GR Research), and that helped even more. A noticeable SQ increase over the stock cables.

Very pleased.

Trying to find if anybody has used the Aria integrated as a preamp going into a separate amp. I like the flexibility the Aria has but haven’t come across anyone utilizing this feature. Does the preamp section of the integrated perform the same as the stand alone Aria preamp?

You might touch base with JohnnyR as I believe he used the Aria as a preamp with the Aria mono locks in one of his demo rooms. Good Luck.

“Part of a natural evolution of the Aria family, this preamplifier shares its topology with the critically acclaimed Aria Integrated Amplifier. The base chassis and preamplifier circuitry are the same‘
