Where on earth is the Belles Virtuoso? Interesting. I was in touch with a guy up here in Canada, and he wanted me to pre purchase. In retrospect, I was unable to at the time, (had just bought a new home), and was expecting a mid April release date. Guess I’ll have to wait... | |
The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I’ve got a chance to buy a brand new, old stock Grant Fidelity Rita 880. I know nothing about it. Anyone know of this model? Any good?i can get it for about 1/5th original retail. Should I go for it?jtweed | |

The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... @schubert does that include ‘in line’ tube rectifiers between source and amp? For the main rig, I plan on a ‘tube sounding’ amp, and trying to figure out a tube system for my office. My budget for my main amp is around 10k, and for my office rig, ... | |
The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I’ve put a deposit down on the new Belles Virtuoso. As I have small children, and also run 2 small companies, my time at home is very precious to me. Sometimes I am only home for 2-3 hrs, and want to make the most of it. My current gear is an Adco... | |

Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? @ps VERY POETIC, VERY TRUE. | |
Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP @kclone what I’ve been told, they are shooting for late March. But, then he also told me it’s ‘TBA’.... | |
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? @facten if I wasn’t married, and didn’t have 2 girls in private school...... oh the gear I would have........ | |
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? @facten The real question is, out of the 3, which one is your favourite? J. |
