PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two

Vincedog3:

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,
Lou

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
George

Dont look now, but some of the 'Cheap Chinese' stuff is embarrassing the 'Big Boys'. Im thinking of giving the PrimaLuna a shot. Whos using what speakers?....cheap Chinese might be just the thing for this cheap American.
