Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso
The basis of my statement is this. I have been an Audiophile for 40 years and have heard all the brands I have mentioned above and have owned in the past PASS gear. The Belles gear is far better sounding than the other brands I've mentioned and he... 
Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso
I would put Belles engineering genius way above the works of Pass Labs,Accuphase and Boulder. David Belles is not into big profits and has always had the opportunity to move that direction. His deep passion for designing gear for serious music lov...

Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso
For what you get from David Belles, 6K+ is dirt cheap. The very high quality caps, transistors and resistors in his units are typically found in $20K electronics. You will not find these high quality parts in units from Parasound, Hegel or other c...

Tone Controls?..Eek!! Tone control's as we are all aware of, are for trimming certain frequency bands to tame bright, shrill or strident sound problems resulting from poorly designed electronics. David Belles components are masterpieces, so refine... 
Cleaning Large Advent speaker grill cloth
Having owned Advent's in the 70's with their off white grills, heres a great way to clean them without removing from the grill frames. The brown color in the grills is more than likely from cigarette smoke. Buy a can of Resolve high traffic carpet... 
Advantages of beryllium?
Paradigm's new Persona line use's Truextent Beryllium mid/bass driver's and tweeter's in the entire line.

Go for the Tekton Enzo XL's. It is Tekton's best selling model at only $1900.00 a pair. Grills are an additional $75.00. The XL's are the junior Pendragon's, their flagship speaker for a long time. They have the same drivers and crossover as the P... 
Tekton Impact
Thanks for the correction csmgolf. Their newly revised site has only beenon line for the past two days and I never checked the price on the previous site. I'm in a dilemma between the EnzoXL and the Electron but leaning towards the EnzoXL due to i... 
Tekton Impact
I neglected to mention the Electron's base price at $3050.00 does not include the upgrade package at $300.00 which brings the price up to$3350.00. FYI..I was recently informed by Karma that Tekton's best selling model is the EnzoXL. They get more ... 
Tekton Impact
I am stumped! The smaller Double Impact is called the Electron which is available in 4 or 8 ohms. I was about to pull the trigger and purchase onlyto discover they retail at $3050.00, $50.00 dollars more than the much larger Double Impacts which w... 
EMOTIVA GOES CLASS D
I've come to the conclusion and confirmed that the Class D power supply in the Gen3 Amp is not from any of the top Class D maker's. Upon further investigation, to my surprise, that the Class D power supply in the Gen3 Amp is actually the power mot... 
New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
It appears that the Bel Canto REF600M will go down as a reference statement piece and will sit on top of Everest as the worlds finest Class D amp in its price range. With that said, another reference statement component that was also released this...
