@bkeske Just caught wind of your big tweak. Congrats on the 🔔s. Thought you might have gone the tube route but agree the Signature is probably best with your amp. 

Thanks Brian! Believe me, I did think about tubes, but still desire bypass, and my options tube-wise were pretty limited. After consulting with Johnny Rutan, who also carry’s a tube pre with bypass, he empathetically recommended the Belles Signature over that or the standard Aria, so, I followed Johnny’s guidance.  And it marries with my old Belles amp and Treo’s wonderfully. David, IMO, is amazing voicing his rigs, and the last thing I think of is SS when listening. All his stuff is very ‘musical’. I kinda figured I would go that route, which made the Hagerman Trumpet MC tube phono pre a strong candidate when I chose that.

Yea, I’m pleased. I feel like my system is now whole.
