Non-CT version.

My rear speakers in HT. A bit of overkill, but sound great.

- Belles Aria Signature Preamp
New 1/22. Very little info on this, but a wonderful preamp. Has broken in nicely.
Belles mono block amps. 200wpc of the wonderful David Belles sound.
Tube Phono Pre with two CBS-Hytron 5814A in the au7’ sockets, and 2 Dynaco/Telefunken smooth plate + 2 Blackburn Mullard ax7’s. A combination I’ve settled on and sounds wonderful. Powered by a SBooster power supply. Sweet.

- Media converter boxes and optical cable. Media converter boxes and optical cable.
Per a recommendation, purchased two media converters off Amazon tethered together with an optical cable. Nice improvement to SQ with more detail and definition vs without. Easy enough setup; router>two converter boxes tethered with optical via ethernet cable>iFi Zen Stream via ethernet cable.
‘Ladder’ DAC
CD Transport. Very nice improvement over the Yamaha Blu-Ray I was using as a transport prior.
Tape deck
AV receiver
These were literally ‘thrown-in’ with my Treo purchase, which was quite a deal. Running them installed right now. Sound very nice.
- Western Electric 10 awg bi-wire speaker cables. 1950’s NOS
Custom made for me. Had these hooked-up to my Vandersteen 2CE Sigs, and recently the Treo’s. ‘Sitting on the sidelines’ right now while I check out the AudioQuest Comet set.

Power cord for use with my Audiolab CD transport
2 - Connected in stereo via Belles amp. Cheap but powerful subs. Ports stuffed with foam in order to work with the mains. All crossover and gain settings at the Subs.
- Bellari Audio HA540 Headphone amp
I hardly ever use headphones really, but as my Belles Aria Signature preamp has no headphone amp/jack, I purchased this simple tube headphone amp for those rare times I do. Replaced the stock 12AX7 tube with a RAM EI smooth plate, made on Telefunfen machinery. Pretty good deal for a smooth plate very similar to a Telefunken. Doesn’t sound too bad really. This is the earlier version of this amp.
