PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two


Anyone directly compared these two amps (with stock tubes)? What are the differences, particularly in the mids and highs?

For those of you who asked about tube rolling - I have had a One for 2 months now and have changed out the EL34's, the 12AX7's and the 12AU7's, trying various combinations. They all make a meaningful, and readily apparent change in the sound of this unit - you really can tune it quite easily to get the sound you would like. I'm sure this would work for the Two as well.

My suggestion for those of you with limited tube experience - before you get caught up in buying expensive NOS tubes do some research on the tube types and the sound attributed to the various current production brands. Its a cheap way of getting some valuable experience - eventually you can move on to some NOS stuff but I think some of you will be surprised at how good these units can sound with good quality new production tubes. Audio Asylum's tube forum is a good source of info as is Job's Tube Lore in the AA FAQ's.

I highly recommend the SuperTjoeb 4000 (with upsampling) especially with upgraded tubes from Kevin Deal's secret stash, e.g., Ediswans. You'll love it!

Best wishes,

Kevin, I want to personally thank you for your input in this thread.

I was quite curious about the ability of the larger amp to accept EL34 tubes, and you answered my questions. Normally, the bigger tube (6550/KT88) amps will take the smaller EL34 tubes, but not usually vice versa.

Personally, I have always tried to buy amplifiers (Jadis, Granite) that run the larger tubes, but give me the flexibility of running the EL34. If I had to choose a tube, however, it would be the JJ KT88.

Stupid question - Can the Prologue 2 run 6L6 tubes? Not that I am a fan of them, but some people like running them.

Thank you again for this information!
Question for Kevin Deal:

Since the 12AX7 has "a more important role" sonically, does that mean it does the voltage amplification? I'm confused because at first you said 12AU7 is the driver tube....

Perhaps you could describe the different stages of this amp a bit.
Thanks
Kevin
With all the respect,I had a crack when read your comment on the "cheap-o-stuff".What should we call the Primaluna?
Made in the People's republic of China.What about the cheesy name?LOL.
All the best
