Review on πŸ”Š Bellari PA550 Preamp by Ashley Voisine

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best buy, not so fast!

This little red preamp is very good for those looking for pure sound at a great price. I hooked it up to my Emotiva A 300 power amp and my Fluance 85 turntable on a dirty To Audio output. Well, the sound is clear and pleasant. The tone controls work together to bring bass and treble to life on a variety of LPs. It was a dismal Best Buy. Now for the bad news: there's no on/off switch, so you'll have to turn it off. Even more disturbing is the loud bang I hear through my filthy Zu-Audio floorstanding speakers when the unit is on. Then I hear the same loud cracking from my speakers when I turn on the emotiva TA300 power amp. So unfortunately I will be asking for a refund!

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
