Bringing Emotion and Soul back into your listening experience.

NEWS UPDATE:  NOVEMBER 2009

Due to the BellaMax linestage borrowing some of the technology from the soon to be released Purity One Reference linestage we have decided that the BellaMax unit is being moved and being released and sold under the Purity Audio Design company umbrella with a new name, the Purity One, as the entry level preamp in the line.

Special price on remaining BellaMax Linestages in real wood veneer standard chassis design DETAILS

 

 

The "BellaMax" linestage is a reference quality linestage that is custom built to your specific system needs. You have a wide variety of chassis finishes to choose from from standard wood veneer over Baltic Birch to exotic real wood veneers over real hardwood so you are sure to be able to match your decor.

The "BellaMax" linestage is voiced to offer solid state speed with vacuum tube soul.  As compared to the Bella L/P, the BellaMax provides more body, warmth and texture while maintaining an accurate reproduction of the entire frequency range. Bass is deep, tight, fast and authoritative with just the right balance of body. A clean, crisp yet lively midrange and upper end with an uncanny sense of air and detail brings emotion back to your listening experience. The use of quality components throughout allows for a great sense of detail, transparency and resolution while maintaining the musical purity true music lovers lust for.

The goal with the design of the Bella line is an obsession to be as true to natural live sound as possible. Not neutral as in tube sound vs. solid state but natural as it's heard directly from instruments both tonally and dynamically while still being able to preserve the true sense of space for both instruments and vocals.

The BellaMax's noise floor is exceedingly low due to our well thought out power supply which helps it uncover the lowest level of detail in a way that's unmatched in any product in it's price range. Coupled with this is a very forceful, immediate presentation that makes for exceedingly wide dynamic range. There is also a forcefulness, especially in the bass, which has great depth, power and speed, that will have you pulling out some of your favorite recordings, whether is be digital or vinyl, just to hear what emotions the artist was truly trying to portray.
