Musica Bella production

[Response Audio]

After 30 years, Musica Bella will cease its product line this month. It was a rough year as 2024 was not kind to us. We are giving up the large shop and going back to smaller location and focus on our relationship with Raven Audio and continue building the Raven Products.
We will continue to sell remaining inventory at clearance prices and all will come with warranties. Response Audio is not going anywhere, just the Musica Bella line.
If anyone has any interest in the Harmonia or Custom Built Reference preamplifiers shown on our web site, please feel free to contact me. We are offering clearances on both.
We do hope to come back later this year with 2 staple product offerings but will no longer be doing custom work after current inventory is depleted.

Bill,

I'm sorry to hear that news, but hope that your relationship with Raven continues to grow and flourish.

We are working on a few things right now to keep the larger shop. We are still halting some products for the time being as we will still be going for having our chassis manufactured for us. I need to spend my time at the benches rather than the wood shop.

[Response Audio]

We are remaining in our larger facility. I?ve decided to outsource our amplifier chassis? to someone that does this on a regular basis. New chassis will be CNC cut out of various hardwoods along with the top panels. This allows me to spend more time at the benches rather than in the small wood shop.

I?ve been getting a few inquiries on our Master 300B/GaN FET amplifier and Master DHT preamp. We are working on a new chassis design for these units. We are hoping for a late spring introduction.

The Master DHT/300
Now capable of using the 45/2A3 or 300B input tube to drive the 300W GaN FET amplifier module.
Note: we also have available the MB200 utilizing a 200W GaN FET driven by our unique 12AU7-12AT7 input stage with all the same features as the DHT/300.

Back in the game.

[Response Audio]

Yes, back in the game. We have had to make a lot of decisions and changes over the past several months. We tried doing most everything in-house but there simply are not enough hours in the day to do everything which limited builds. We are now going to outsource our DHT wood amplifier chassis? which will also give us much more room.
The Foundation Series will also be going into chassis matching the amp shown here. The Foundation preamps and MB200 GaN FET hybrid will all be housed in the same size chassis. 16? x 16? x 4?.

There are two Foundation preamplifiers; one focusing on the 6922 (not 6DJ8) and the other in the 6SN7 ( not the original Purity Reference circuit) The Segue is still available but will remain in the smaller chassis.

The amp sounds interesting. What are your plans on getting this heard if you don't mind me asking.

[Response Audio]

I am in the process of arranging for the amp and preamp to be used in an upcoming show. I?ll let you know more about that as more information comes in. I am also talking about a review or two.
And, as always, I am hoping consumer word-of-mouth starts spreading after a few are out there.
With the success of the Harmonia DHT output stage, I am also working on a new, enhanced version of this product to remain one of our top products. I might also do an introductory price to get some out there and people talking.
These pieces were originally designed during my years with Purity Audio Design.

Well, you know us NY Ravers can get you a lot of eyes and ears on these things if you are interested in sending a demo out.

Great idea to outsource the chassis. I can't imagine trying to do it all yourself...and this chassis looks quite good 👍

I would like that and would like to send one of our MB200H (GaN FET Hybrid amp) with matching Foundation preamplifier. Designed to mate perfectly.
