Just my opinion, they're a toy. YMMV.

Go with anything from ART, if you are looking for a budget mic preamp.

I have a Rolls RP220 which is an older version of the Bellari. It sounds better to me than the ART Tube MP I have... the Rolls has much more headroom than the ART and is quieter at high gain settings. A toy it's not.

Actually... Bellari is what ROLLS considers their "high-end" brand.... Gear with the ROLLS badge is the cheap stuff....

Maybe you got lucky with your unit - if so, great! - but in general, ROLLS and Bellari are just plain bad.... coupla notches below Behringer.
