| Anyone have an experience with Belles Aria preamp & mono amps vs. tube integrated ? Several months ago I replaced a Rogue Cronus Magnum II with Belles Aria preamp + monoblocks. For the price it's an incredible deal. The Rogue was good, but I like these even better. They are whisper quiet and need no tinkering with. Talk to Jo... | |
