Amp upgrade for 2 Ce Sig II

Guys,

I'm in the USAF stationed in England and don't have the opportunity to listen to these amps. My system currently consist Rogue Cronus Tube integrated amp 55 Watts, Rega Aollo and MIT Shotgun S3 bi-wire and interconnects. There are two amps that people rave about, Belles 150A and Mccormack DNA125. The choice will have to complement a tube
pre-amp. I'll be more than happy to hear any other recommendations as well. The Belles is at an excellent price on this board, so if it the one I'll have to act quick.

Thanks,
Ron

Rogue Cronus, nice....... Your in the UK, try to get your hands on one of the Musical Fidelity or Electocopiant amps, they make some great models. Sorry I can't remember which one it is, but a buddy of mine in France has and EC amp they he runs, to great effect, with some Sonus Fabres. Go Euro while there, try the American gear when you get back.

Good luck, the Cronus is pretty nice, you might not like anything better.....

Investigate Wyred 4 Sound amps. Their input stage is very tube friendly. They sound great and are very reasonably priced. Lots of current reviews.

How about the Manley Schrimp pre-amp with the Belles 150A?

Keep your wattage to 100 minimum.
Music Fidelity would be nice.

Seems to me that Belles and McCormack are mighty fine choices at your price points. Vandersteen needs some watts and current for its bass, SS is a good way to do it at your price point and the two you mention would be at the top of my list as well.
