Any Belles A owners/knowers out there?


Years ago I was smitten with the sound of David Belles's first amp, the Belles A. Finally found one a couple of years ago. I'd like to talk with anyone who has/had/or knows of the Belles A.

i once owned a belles. around 1987 maybe....forget the model...but it looked like a toaster. the transformer was mounted on the wall..not the bottom....it sounded incredible. used with a magus pre and was in heaven....naturally i ditched em for an pre/amp combo that cost many times more, but wasn't in their league.
I have had the Belles one along with the Belles DMC preamp since 1985. Very nice sounding amp.
I have the Belles ii power amp and DMM preamp! the pre is ClassA and both sound great!
I've never owned one but am now regretting passing up one a few years back. With that in mind, I think they are horrible amps and no one should buy one should one come up for sale ;)
