For Sale Bel Canto Evo Pre & Power amplifier

[myrman]

Bel Canto Evo Pre2 Preamplifier & Evo2 Gen II Power amplifier This is a fine sounding pre/power combo. I have always liked the older Evo class T amps from Bel Canto far more than the newer class D amps. The Evo2 power amplifier has an output of 120W into 8ohms or 400W in mono mode a should you fancy adding another at some point. Being class T the power consumption is low and it is not an amp that gets hot. The excellent Pre2 preamp has the onboard MM phono option in addition to its standard 6 line inputs. its one of the nicest sounding solid state preamps I have owned and it really has some of the magic you get from a quality valve preamp with a lovely open spacious presentation. Two remotes (one the standard aluminium and the other a pre programmed learning type) and manuals are included as pictured. All items are in extremely good condition. Selling as a pair only £2000 ovno I would prefer collection but willing to discuss posting / Wam taxi / Meet up options. I am based in Northants NN12​

funnily enough i found a review of this on my shelf this week . BC make beautiful stuff

My first impression of the PRe2P’s sound was of its quietness. The line stage is as quiet as any I’ve heard, but the phono stage is spectacularly silent. That means every sound emerges from the proverbial black background, which makes it easier to listen more deeply into the music. It’s hard to describe this effect until you hear it; then it becomes obvious.

The PRe2P has little sound of its own. No one will ever confuse the PRe2P with a tube preamp -- it lacks the tonal lushness typical of tubes. This may be a coloration of some sort, but it's sometimes an attractive one. The PRe2P didn't exhibit any of the unattractive attributes sometimes associated with solid-state equipment -- thin, etched sound; spatial vagueness; and lack of a well-fleshed-out tonal palette. The PRe2P's sound was very neutral, clean and transparent. Any coloration in the system had to originate elsewhere, and became the determining factor in the overall system sound. For example, the Art Audio PX 25 amp I prefer has a slight tendency to sound forward and bright. With the PRe2P, that’s exactly how the system sounded. Switching to my Wright Sound Company WPA3.5 monoblocks, which have a more traditional SET tonal palette, I heard a more "listenable" presentation that I could (and did) enjoy at length.
