Off Topic: Running a Belles Soloist 3 pre-amp with Belles 150A Hot Rod power amp for years. Catastrophic failure of power amp. Replaced with Belles 150A Reference V2 power amp, still using the Soloist 3 pre.
Is this coupling of an older Belles entry level pre with a new Belles power amp a mismatch? I'm sure there is much to be gained with a new Aria pre but is using the original Soloist 3 competent, or is it holding too much back?
