Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP

Hello and good day all. First time post here. I’m in the market for a new integrated. My source is a Oppo UDP 205, speakers are from a company called Funk ( 6.1P). I’m torn between trying tubes for the first time, or sticking to SS. I’ve read good reviews about both companies, I’m just having trouble making up my mind. Any suggestions?

not trying to be mr. tough guy, but 1) you might have posted your question little early as no one has ever heard the Belles yet and 2) it seems you're being a bit wishy washy.. kind of nit picking.... consensus says the PL sounds good.. so if you want to dip your toes into tubes then mod the Oppo, hopefully your Adcom has a bypass .. if you just want to dive right in, then get the PL ..

I’ve listened to the new Anthem STR, and both myself, and the audio shop guys agreed, it doesn’t sound as good as the 225. I’m going to wait until the Belles comes out, and make my decision then. Thank you everyone for all your responses.

Ma5300 mcintosh is a pretty nice integrated imo.  Plus mcintosh does hold their value!

+1 on Finale Audio recommendation - have a 7189 MK2 integrated with upgraded transformer and caps option; very well built and nice sounding at a great price.

Also, suggest Line magnetic 518IA 22 wpc  Set
