The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier

FWIW, I have heard the Aria integrated, and, for the money, it really smokes just about anything you could think of trying.

let me comment a little on grdnrbob’s assertion above...

i have had the belles aria in house for some time... sold it to a hifi bud recently who wanted it

-- agree that the aria, and david belles, are the real deal... excellent gear excellent ear, for a loooong time already
-- for $1500-1600 used (going rate) the aria is a great value, quality of sound (strong and clear, if a touch energetic in the treble) and the mm phono stage on board is excellent, if you will use it
-- i would say in an overall sense, a hegel (thinking rost or h90), a naim (nait xs) and a primare i30 are all worthy remote controlled solid state integrated amp competitors that are as good as the aria... all in the same used price range - all have feature set pros and cons versus the aria but all offer as good build and sound quality (though the tonality may be subtly different)

I don't know when the I-30 was discontinued, but Primare's current offerings are I-15, I-25, and I-35, all of which, AFAIK, are class-D based.  A review in Stereophile or Absolute Sound called the I-35 a little lean.

The Primare I-30 from 2007, was replaced by the Class D I-32 in 2011

that is correct, the i-30 was the last class a/b primare - they went class d post the i-30 and the sound character changed... and not for the better according to most

@jjss49 ,
I have no experience with either Hegel or Naim, but I will say that the Belles Aria Integrated with a pair of Vandy VLR's (and with or without a sub) is a pretty sweet combo. In fact, with a Sub 3, it outperforms just about anything in the price range, and quite a few above.
IMHO
