Coherent Systems are please to announce the first public outing (Outside the US) of the all new Belles VT-01 Vacumm tube hybrid pre-amplifier.
We will be showing this superbly musical and involving Belles piece at room 316 at the Bristol show.

This pre-amplifier was designed for those looking for the linearity, transparency and top to bottom cohesiveness of a high end solid state design, yet love the fluidity, involvement and harmonic textures that they feel valves give.

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.

The result of this unique design will give the listen 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 quite a breath taking product that spans the divide between solid state and Vacuum tubes.

Make no mistake this is one very special piece of audio, it exudes musicality, transparency and in-depth workings of the music that genuinely 'put you there' feeling that only a VERY select few others can compete with and at a much greater price tag.
