The result of this unique design will give the listener that prefers Vacuum tubes in their system, to obtain superb musicality, coupled with superior clarity and a greatly reduced noise floor. Making the Belles VT-01 a quite breath taking product that spans the divide between solid state and Vacuum tubes.

The Belles VT-01 Vacuum tube line stage has been designed with a highly initiative circuit topology, that enables it to outperform conventional vacuum tube designs.

The Belles VT-01 circuit consists of a vacuum tube differential amplifier with a transistor current mirror to improve gain and linearity. It is followed by a fully discrete transistor gain stage. The output is a dual cathode follower with transistor current load. Global feedback is employed in the Belles VT-01 to improved stabilisation which dramatically lowers noise and distortion.

Dave Belle's VT-01 pre-amplifier is culimnation of a true passionate music afficanardo's ability to create a tube lover's ideal sound, yet with greatly reduced noise floor, improved dynamics and musicality. the VT-01 is one of those rare pieces of audio equipment that just allows you to truly forget the equipment and become totally immersed in the music.
