@twoleftears That’s just not true. The Aria Signature and the Aria are very similar with the Signature being a more powerful amp. The Belles "sound" embodies both amps. Saying you can't transfer any sounds from one to the other is like saying that one is a Belles and one is from another manufacturer completely. Yes, many of the sound characteristics that people love about Belles amps ...are carried over from model to model...I asked Dave Belles to confirm this and he did!
Belles Aria Signature and other Int Amp recommendation
While searching for an Integrated Amp to go with my new Ascend Acoustics Sierra Tower speakers that I ordered, one Int Amp pique my interest is the Belles Aria Signature. Although, not too much information on the Internet, but the few I did see seems to be all positive
One of the key things caught my attention is the use of MOSFET output devices, where both MOSFETs and vacuum tubes are both voltage controlled devices and their transfer functions are similar as well. My limited experience with MOSFETs impart a tube-like sound with the low-end grunt of amps using bi-polar transistors. If implements well, it is the best of both worlds, and I hope to get some inputs from people having more experience.
Meanwhile, I am also hope to have some recommendations on other SS Int Amps that is in the similar price range as Belles Aria Signature and see what I can do to arrange some audition.
TIA
