Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria???
Re: the Aria Signature: This is another surprise!  Does this amp sound to you like a lesser version of the also soon-to-be-released Belles Virtuoso?  And, for that matter, did you get an update on that model, which was first mentioned some three y... 
Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria???
It's hard to know if you're serious.  Where, may I ask, or from whom, have you "heard that the Belles Aria is a horrible amp"?  You can't simply put that statement out there without some evidence to back it up. 
Where on earth is the Belles Virtuoso?
Is the Belles Virtuoso ever going to be available in the marketplace and properly advertised on a website?  After three years of waiting, it seems like nothing more than a figment of one's imagination... 
???Anyone Here UpGrade From Yaqin/Cayin/etc... To Another Tube Amp Considered Hi End???
Interesting perspective, devilboy.  I agree with you.  The issue then becomes or the goal then has to be: what is the *least* fake presentation you've heard, or that any of us has heard?  What (integrated) amplifier paired with what speakers has p... 
Belles Virtuoso power amp
There’s also Arctic Audio in North Dakota, which is just down the road from me. My main concern is the current Canada-US exchange rate, meaning that Canadians purchasing an amp such as this are going to be adding close to 40% to the cost.  Then th... 
Belles Virtuoso power amp
A bit off topic, since this isn't about the power amp mentioned above:What is the list price (or, for that matter, the street price) of the Belles Virtuoso integrated?  Like jtweed, I've been waiting for this thing for the past three years.  And i... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
I am seriously considering either the Lyngdorf 2170 or the newer 3400.  My main issue is whether the 2170 could properly drive my speakers (Dynaudio Focus 340, 87 dB sensitivity, 4 ohms impedance). I don't think there would be an issue with the 34... 
Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP
I’m not sure why, I HAVE TO HEAR THE BELLES..... jtweed:As a music-loving audiophile and fellow Canadian, I understand your position and the choice (solid state vs. tubes) you are trying to make.  I have also been reading whatever I can on the upc...

Need recommendation for a CD player
I'm in the same boat as the OP, in that I'm also looking to add a CD player to my system.  It currently uses an Oppo 105D as the source for both music CDs and Blu-ray discs.  Can anyone recommend a CD player -- SACD not required as the Oppo can ha... 
Top monitors 3K - 6K range
Many thanks to Michaelkingdom for taking the time to provide such a well thought out analysis. I'm sure your post will be very helpful to those looking for a good monitor. 
Input requested on 3 options for listening room
Thanks, Alan (and Hank).I used to have Maggie 1.6s but I sold them even though I loved their transparency and huge soundstage. The reason: I felt they were too much for my low (7'6") ceiling. Obviously, the 3.7s would be even more imposing, althou... 
Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna?
I believe there is some confusion here between Lori McNenna and Loreena McKennitt, two quite different artists.

To Glory:No need for snide comments. I am perfectly willing to drive down to the US of A to pick up a pair of speakers.Thanks to all others who have made an effort to be more helpful. 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I'm somewhat amazed at myself for continuing to follow this thread, since I have received exactly ZERO response to my email asking Evolution Acoustics for information on dealers, availability and pricing. I realize the owners of EA are busy gettin...
