The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier

@so-al, 
I agree, but more than a few of us have limited dollars to spend, and buying used-which is much easier these days because of the interenet-allows us to get more for the dollar.
Though I do feel a bit of twinge of guilt when I hear something at Johnny's and buy it used elsewhere.
As a self employed gardener, I would take issue if potential clients would take my designs and have others employ them, only because they could save some money. 
(But, then again, my designs are pretty weird, and very few people could implement them besides myself,-at least to my standards).

I think John can probably spot a non-buyer within seconds...

@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 won't buy a Rolex either Bob...

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.
