i don't know about the one for $1500, the said he bought it aug. 2005 then emails me and says its been in the box unused and only opened to look at.?????
I just bought a 14 month old Belles 350A Reference. I emailed Power modules and asked if the five year warranty was transferable and got an emial back (signed by David Belles)saying the warranty is not transferable.

Bummber!!
I had the non-auricap version on loan. Rolled many tubes to try and achieve a sound that I liked. Main gripe was the decay of notes was brutally cut off. Perhaps auricaps may help, but my experience tells me the transitor output stage is the culprit.
