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.

Wine glaring weakness ,knowing electronics very well. Everything in a standard volume attenuator goes through it .. if you have a $25 alps pot it is just a carbon coated piece of plastic ,no getting around that . Any good preamp section is either a discreet electronic type with relays, or a shunt type resistive ladder type like Khozmo ,or gold point . David B is a good designer to not address’s this and at $4500 not good. for $4500 the excellent Luxman 505 mk-2 is noticeably better then the $5500 McIntosh and well thought out throughout for something similar in its price class. |
msafrick - As a Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 owner I would like to hear more about the comparison with the original Belles Aria. The V3 is an exceptional integrated with a killer phono stage, IMHO. |
