| What about the Belles SA-100? I agree the quality of watts also matters. However I have read somewhere that the 8ohms power figures for the SA-100 are close to 258Wrms. I am using Audio Physic Calderas. At first I was not too impressed with this amp, as compared to my previous... | |
| What about the Belles SA-100? Phusis, with 91 dB my speakers are a little less responsive than yours. Sound wise I was quite happy with the 2 x 40 W solid state I had, which nevertheless had some difficulties to drive my speakers, in particular in the bass area. That was the m... | |
| What about the Belles SA-100? It is interesting what you are saying. Earlier I have had JR monoblocks, but as good as these were, they could not even stand in the shadow of the Belles. The SA-100 is such an open window for every kind of music. But also needs a proper match and... | |

| What about the Belles SA-100? I guess you are right that marketing may play a role here; unknown, unloved. When I was looking for a new amp my dealer suggested to audition the Belles SA-30, even while my speakers have a difficult load. I decided for the SA-100 as that was the ... | |
| What about the Belles SA-100? Your dealer is right, the upper models will leave you speechless. I have a Belles SA-100 which is in a different class. I am serious. That is also why I was wondering in the first place that this amp is not more popular among audiophiles. Anyone i... | |
| What about the Belles SA-100? I agree with both of you. These are excellent products. Still, it wonders me why, at least on this forum, one sees users of the almost similar priced 350A but never of the SA-100. | |
| Audible Illusions 3A vs Belles 28A Actually, no real reason. I came from SS (JR) and went to tubes (M3A). I would not mind to go to SS again if this is an improvement. | |
| Audible Illusions 3A vs Belles 28A Thanks, I am using the M3A with an Orpheus 3S and APh Caldera II, which is a great combination I am happy with. Was just wondering if the Belles 28A would add something to this happiness | |
| Nagra and Orpheus Laboratories only know the Orpheus 3s which I have. A fabulous amp. | |
| Sovtek 6N23P-EV / 6H23P-EB NOS for AI Modulus 3A? Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated | |
| Sovtek 6N23P-EV / 6H23P-EB NOS for AI Modulus 3A? If you are right then it would mean that the tubes of the phono stage need to be replaced anyway. But it could be a cap too. Difficulty is that as far as I know AI has no distribution network in Europe anymore | |
| Sovtek 6N23P-EV / 6H23P-EB NOS for AI Modulus 3A? Yes and thanks this helps indeed. I understand your reasoning that it looks like an electrical problem regarding the fact that the hiss stays in the right channel even when I switch the tubes from left to right and vv. But what I don't understand ... | |
| Sovtek 6N23P-EV / 6H23P-EB NOS for AI Modulus 3A? Yes, thanks, I have thought about that too. It is just that I live in Europe, which means when I order tubes from the US an extra 25-30 percent is added to the price + shipping costs due to VAT and customs. | |
| Sovtek 6N23P-EV / 6H23P-EB NOS for AI Modulus 3A? In addition to my previous question: there is a hiss in one of my phono channels, which becomes louder when I turn up the volume. When I switch the tubes from left to right the hiss stays in the same channel. When I switch tubes from phono (6H23P-... |
