We mentioned a while back that we would be taking some time throughout October to build some custom BellaMax chassis. Below are two that are available for order now. There chassis are now only 4" tall.

This first chassis is constructed of 3/4" Baltic birch and covered in Rosewood real wood veneer. The tube holes still have to be cut in the top and the front panel cut for the control knobs.



This chassis is constructed of 3/4" Baltic Birch side panel with a 3/4" solid maple front panel. It is covered in Figured Cherry. Better pictures coming soon after some finish is applied.



More to come. A chassis is currently being finished in Waterfall Bubinga.

I love that rosewood....

 Thank you richidoo,

 Yes, everything including the chassis, veneering, finishing and the circuitry, is built in house by my own two hands. I have a full woodworking facility as well as a separate facility for all the circuit design and assembly.

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.

Given that it will also receive further enhancements, a chassis make-over and we have a few original chassis already made up, we are offering the remaining units at discount prices to clear them out. Some are further along than others.

We need to move all of our remaining original style BellaMax linestages. We also have one chassis done in Rosewood that will be built as a Basis linestage.

With our showroom reopening soon, we need to move these custom chassis as they are taking up room we need. Now you can have any one of these custom built, brand new preamps for only $1,100 with full warranty.

Here is a link to the page showing the available chassis being offered at this price.

http://www.bellaextreme.com/specials.htm

Details on the build:

Seperate transformers for B+ and filament supply.
Polypropylene power supply capacitors
SoniCap coupling capacitors.
Silver RCA's
12AU7 x2
quality components used throughout (Bubinga unit uses only Riken Ohm resistors)

[Bill Baker]

To clear up some confusion on some emails I have received, only the preamps price at $1,100 on the specials page are available at this price.

added 11PM EST:

 There have been many inquiries now on these preamnps asking if upgrades can be made. The circuit for these pieces are not complete and would be finished upon ordering so if there are any upgrades, i.e: coupling caps, wiring, volume control, etc, it would simply be in addition to the $1,100.
