| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso audiozen - Thanks. It’s harder than ever to listen to even a small percentage of all that’s available, since there are way fewer hifi shops in business. The answer for people who live too far away from dealers is to take advantage of policies like... | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso audiozen - I was one of those people that was obsessed with the audio magazines, the reviews, scouring the internet to find that elusive hidden gem of an audio component that I just knew was out there - I just had to find it. After a good long whi... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? audiozen - Thanks you. A lot of accurate responses here, and the Grammy's is a sore subject with me, as are most all of these award shows. Tv in general. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame being a complete joke also, as garebear alluded to. "These "... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? My pleasure, jc4659; I feel cleansed myself after venting about this pitiful excuse for a celebration of music. I just read that the ratings were down 24% from last year, which warmed the cockles of my heart... so deeply satisfying to hear that pe... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? My apologies to Brian Seacrest. I meant Ryan Seacrest. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? I haven’t watched this Grammy debacle in at least 15 years. Actually, debacle is too complimentary... a complete TRAIN WRECK better describes this glorification and endorsement for bad taste, thug culture, a dumbed down society, ass shaking, lip s... | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso audiozen - I went to the ifi site, checked it out, pretty ingenious little device. I like that 100,000 hr life span on the tube! Thanks for the heads up with the speakers, buffer. etc. | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso audiozen - I checked out the review>soundapprentice>CBM-170SE. Sounds like a real wolf in sheeps clothing speaker. I'm not about exotic finishes and 12 coats of paint and gloss - more about sound quality than cosmetics. If I get a chance to ... | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso audiozen- Makes you wonder why more speaker aren't made from bamboo? More cost prohibitive... not in Ascends case though; their business model a lot more efficient allows for alternatives to MDF, I assume. That 44 lbs is pretty light - mine are a ... | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso audiozen- I was vaguely familiar with Ascend, came across their site years ago before they offered a tower speaker. I read the EnjoyThe Music review and they certainly gave it a big thumbs up. I checked out the Ascend website, read everything on t... | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso audiozen - You have provided quite a few revelations that I was unaware of about Vandersteen. It's always nice to get the inside scoop, and hear about personal experiences, good and bad because I do want to know about a companies true intentions a... | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso audiozen - thank you audiozen (and carmenc) for the kind words. I've been all over this forum in the short time I've been registered, and I feel like a kid in a candy shop! In most cases I would be suffering from information overload, but this aud... | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso carmenc - I'm new to this forum, and between you, audiozen, and of course JohnnyR, not to mention others... I'm feeling less alone in my appreciation for Belles. Like so many other things in life, people tend to ignore true quality, and too easily... | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso The venerable, one and only JohnnyR at Audio Connection played the Belles Aria integrated amp for me with Vandersteen Treo CT speakers and... A. My jaw dropped B. I went into an audiophile trance, so immersed was I in the music C. I Bought the Ari... |
