I had a Belles Ref.150A for a few years and loved the amp. I used a Shunyata hydra4 and then hydra6 when my system grew. I never had a problem, though I did use a big powercable to feed the hydra. I also demo'd a Ref. 350A and had no problem with the hydra keeping the big 350 fed. The Belles rep. also was very comfortable with the hydra when he brought the 350 by.
Power cords and/or conditioners for Belles amp?
I have a Belles 150A Reference Amp and love it. I'm looking for power cords and a line conditioner to take even more advantage of its smooth, exquisitely natural tone. My system (AP Virgo III's Eosteric DV-50, Dodd battery operated line stage ) is very clean and natural sounding, and just spot on with classical and jazz recordings, but it can be a tad sharp with close miked recordings (e.g. Iron and Wine) and synthesized tones (e.g. Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes"). Also, the Belles seems to draw some serious juice on start up (the specs say up to 30 amps!), which has rendered my Running Springs Haley unable to serve as its line conditioner. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
