ARC VSi60 vs PrimaLuna Integrated Amps

I am considering purchasing one or the other, either an ARC VSi60 or a Primaluna Premium or Dialouge Two. I am sure many of the members have purchased both. I think that either one offer a lot of value. I would like to hear from anyone that has purchased one of these integrated amps, especially from those that AB'd them both with their speakers and why they chose one over the other.

Any feedback would be helpful . . .

I have a " factory upgraded" Jolida power amp that is extremely quiet and utterly reliable over the last 3 plus years...less cash than Deal's Primaluna deals, although I have dealt with Deal and got a fair deal of some tubes I'm dealing with.

I had a Primaluna Prologue II for nine years without so much
as a hiccup . I recently traded it in for a Primaluna Dialogue Premium . Kevin makes some great 'sales'. Extremely happy !

It looks good to me but I'm so gun shy after this Ayon thing I might buy one used to try out but I never see much Primaluna for sale and the couple pieces I saw were like 70 or 80% of the new price and I'm used to seeing 50 or 60% off for used.

Is the reason so few are for sale because they don't sell many in the first place?

Therealist, I think plenty of them are sold new. The reason so few used ones are for sale, and at a high percentage of retail, is that owners are happy with them. I recently traded in ARC separates for a Dialog Premium Integrated, and I am totally happy and have "zero" regrets.
