Best Amp for Audible Illusions 3A tube or SS


I have an AI 3A and a Velleman Stereo Tube Amp. The amp is not performing (tubes keep burning up). I need a new amp. I like the tube sound but I have read that this preamp may be better suited for SS amp, any suggestions (3k range)?

I agree with Truman. The AI and Belles combo is very good. The first high end rig I ever listened to was a Belles "One" amp and an original AI Modulus preamp. That combo showed me just what a good audio system can do and I've been interested in high end audio ever since. More recently I paired up an AI Mod 3A with a Belles 400 amp. As expected, this was also a great combo but I ultimately ended up replacing the Belles amp with a pair of Rogue M120 Magnum monoblocks. One more thing about my Belles amp: I owned it for over 12 years and used it often. During that time period, it needed repairs only once and Dave Belles was very helpful in getting it up and running again. Great product and great service.
