The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier
Few days ago I watched Steve Huff’s review of Dynaudio Special Heritage. Steve Guttenberg reviewed them also, but he gets gobsmacked by everything he reviews, so it’s hard to take his words seriously.I really don’t understand what Dynaudio, as a c... 
The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier
@ianrmack Very interested in hearing your impressions of the Aria Signature sound. By the way, I also have the Qutest with Teddy Pardo power supply :-)Also, if it’s not too much to ask, could you take pictures of the inside of the Signature amp? I...

Still hoping to hear from someone, who’s compared those DAC modules to something like Chord TT, Holo Audio Spring or May DACs, or Denafrips Terminator.Thanks, hilde45, Tarun’s review of Hegel H95 was interesting.sbank, thank you for your informati...

still hoping for someone with IQ above 80 to reply (who actually understood what i was asking) 
what happened to the Belles website ?????
Yep, virtuoso line completely disappeared...for whatever reason. And I also wish there were more product pictures, showing off outside as well as inside. I mean, what audiophile doesn’t enjoy looking at innards of audio equipment?!P.S. Not a big f...

Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices?
Just discovered another one, which looks plainly, but still very pretty somehow:Triode Lab (and its sister company Finale)Some Line Magnetic units also look decent@davespencer, although L-7000 does look very pretty, I prefer L-9000's design. Howev... 
Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices?
Wow! That Dared does look very pretty! And look at Dared VP-99P! Dared MP-5BT not on the same level, but still nice/differently looking 
LFD NCSE MK3
I used to think that amount of parts means everything, and was going to get a Schiit Yggdrasil, but ended up getting a Chord Qutest. In the case of the Qutest, I know where the money went to - FPGA and stuff. Here I was asking for the same, i.e. f... 
LFD NCSE MK3
"Unless you’re an engineer or electronics expert, don’t go by layout. Go by sound" - This is exactly what I said above, that I’ll be the first one to buy it, if I like the sound. Let me clarify my original inquiry again: I’m only asking out of cur...
