The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier


The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier has landed at the Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. I think John said 120 watts per channel with a phono stage that supports both MM and MC cartridges. 3 Single ended and 1 balanced input and output. Sounds great even though the unit has less than 24 hours on it.

@jl35 ,
I am sure he can, but I can say that he treats everyone with respect- 
Which is something I can say I haven't observed from other dealers in the NY metro area over the years, and that goes back a couple of decades.

Things are a bit better now, but I can remember being sized up by more than one salesman than I can count.

I think the Belles Aria is a fantastic amplifier that sounds better than some other integrateds I've recently owned, like Naim Supernait 2 and Hegel H190.  The Aria costs about 50% as much as these amplifiers, so it is a great value, too. I may upgrade to the Signature model but time will tell.  

Going online to the Belles/Power Modules website for more information, I was disappointed not to find any product information for the Aria Signature (other than an image) or the Virtuoso integrated.  So these products are offered for sale and the manufacturer does not provide detailed product information?  Strange.  I know, the administrative stuff gets overlooked with a small company but Belles has been around long enough to do better.   Just my opinion, of course.  Still a big fan.  
For the moment Johnny at Audio Connection can tell you about them.  David B. is too busy cranking out units, for enthusiastic customers...
I need to talk to John Rutan about the differences between the Aria and Signature. It would be nice to do an A/B comparison.
As far as Belles' website, I agree, it would be nice to get more information, but I can understand that Belles probably doesn't have the marketing budget of, say Wilson Audio or PS Audio.
