Belles research?

Thanks Johnny, very helpful.  I’ll be hooking up to Kef LS50 speakers. I emailed David Belles and waiting hear from him. 

Hi Voodoo:
I Purchased the A100 amplifier and it’s complementary preamp in 1983, new.  I sold the amplifier about a year ago. It was still operational. I recently gave the preamp to my daughter after having the caps replaced. At the time it was a wonderful sounding preamp but I don’t think it would cut it now. I think the amp will be fine. Completely solid state! Think about having the caps replaced right away. It’s not very expensive.

((( I’ll be hooking up to Kef LS50 speakers. ))) that's nice they will play but when you are done playing and want real performance try a pair of Full range Vandersteen 2 Sig 2s with any AQ speaker cables it will bond with that amp and you will say what was I thinking.  Best JohnnyR

Absolute sound. I started my journey a few years ago, dusted off my vinyl collection from the 70’s, bought phono preamp from lounge audio and away we go. Never heard of vandersteens until now, I will find somewhere local to audition. 

David (Belles) makes wonderful sounding gear. Flies under the radar for some reason.

I was never a Belles dealer, but I’ve owned the 20A, 21A Auricap, 22A preamps and the 150A Hot Rod, 150A Reference and 350A Reference amps. I still have a 150A amp.

Have always lusted after either a pair of MB200 Monos or the MB500 Mono or Stereo amps.
