Need recommendation for amplifier

The Belles amp is arriving tomorrow, but the bad news is I am leaving on a 10 day trip the next day!  So, I’ll get only a few hours at best to hear it until I get back. The good news is I’ll have a couple of weeks to try it out.

I still have some problems with the Red Dragons.
They’ve gotten a lot better with time. But there’s something missing.
I really loved my NuForce monoblocks, and have decided to pay more to have them fixed properly.
Ultimately, It’ll be a choice between the Belles amp and the NuForce.  If the Belles sounds best I’ll keep it and hold on to the NuForce as back-up.

Great, rvpiano .
Best to let shipped gear warm up to room temperature in cold weather before using or so I was told and always have done .

Have a safe trip !

Schubert,

In this frigid weather, I’ll do that, even though I don’t have much time to audition.

Thanks for your good wishes

Hey, free cryo job! 

Well, it didn’t take long!  As Johnny said,  LESS than 4 minutes told the story.
The Belles is now my amp.
Just about night and day is the difference between the Dragons and the Belles.
In about every parameter it excels: clarity, bass, definition, sound staging....
Need I go on?
BIG THANKS to Schubert and Johnny for their input.
Would never have picked it without them both.
Gotta go now.  Got some listening to do.
