| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier @gandalf 👍🏼 I’ve had my MB200’s for more than a couple months now, and am very pleased. Installed new power cords (GR Research), and that helped even more. A noticeable SQ increase over the stock cables. Very pleased. | |

| Good-sounding audio components? For me, reviews of all types, but mostly backed-up by recommendations by friends (including a few I hold in high regards here) and dealers (remote) I trust. Unfortunately, I don’t have many good HIFI dealers in my area except a couple good used de... | |
| Best interconnects from preamp to amps, within budget I would look at Kimber Kable PBJ Interconnects. Should be able to get 2m length for $200 +/- |
