New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF

I heard these amps in the Bel Canto room with the proto type TAD compact reference speakers and the sound was terrific. Some of the best at the show.

Thanks for your input. It's the new 500 monos that have caught my attention are are in my price range. Do you recall how the rest of the system at RMAF was configured? Were the M500's being show with the Pre 3? Were they using the Bel Canto Dac or Phono stage? I hear a lot about Bel Canto amps and Dacs but less about their preamp and phono stage.

Good news for tube preamp owners is the input impedance of the new REF1000 Mk II amplifiers, 100kOhms per phase.

This particular setup was considered a Soundstage! Standout Demo. For more details, visit the link:

The ref 500's sounded wonderful driving the Joseph Audio RM55 se's.
