Belles Aria

$2295 in silver or black versions.

My
take on this Belles Aria integrated amplifier is very positive. It has excellent sound, right
up there with the Croft, not far behind the LFD Mistral 2018 Integrated. The Belles Aria does
have the advantage over the Croft and the LFD of a remote control and a headphone
amplifier. There is a built in MM phono stage that is very good indeed.
The build quality is excellent, warranty is 5 years, and it is made in
the USA. --Gene

 It has been a cornerstone of David Belles’ audio design philosophy for nearly 40 years. Over that span of time 

each successive generation of Belles amplifier or preamplifier has surpassed the last. And yet all have embodied the 

same mantra of simplicity. Form is driven by function. A straight line is the shortest circuit path.

Consistent with this long-standing tenet, Belles has moved to the next logical level. Introducing the Aria Integrated 

Amplifier!

The Aria integrated amplifier delivers a pure analog experience in one understated yet elegant enclosure. All the 

functional components necessary to its superlative performance: phono, line, headphone and power stages, are in 

straight-line proximity to one another. The one enclosure housing all these functions shortens the signal path and 

eliminates the need for a separate chassis and interconnect cables.

The design is truly state of the art. Phono, headphone and preamplifier stages all use Burr-Brown amplifiers which are 

known
in pro circles for their ultra-low distortion characteristics. The
power amplifier effortlessly outputs 75 watts per side into 8 ohms and
is a discrete, fully complimentary configuration utilizing MOSFET
transistor output stages.

The technical embodiments of the amplifier are simply a means to an end. As with all Belles products, the objective is to 

create a musical delivery system which is as faithful as possible to the source. Of course, pretty much all audio 

companies make this claim. We invite you to visit a Belles dealer. Bring some of your favorite recordings and run the amp 

through its paces. You’ll discover a truly superlative audio experience doesn’t have to come at a high price.

Aria owners have been writing to to say just how pleased they are with this amplifier. Some comments we’ve received: 

“

It's really good at picking up the resonance of overtones coming from a really good piano.” ...... “I think it's remarkably 

good with vocals...” ..... “Overall I think it's a pretty amazing instrument”

Hi-Fi Choice conferred “Recommended” status on the Aria Integrated Amplifier. Reviewer Chris Ward wrote 

“Most importantly, sound quality is luscious and sweet and the claimed 75W per channel power output has rarely sounded more 

involving and muscular. This isn’t an amp that demands to be listened to (as some can). It simply invites you to listen and 

a few hours later you realize a whole afternoon has sailed by. If you love the smooth, liquid delivery of tube amps but wish 

they had more grunt, listen to the Aria
