I have Prologue Mono's and a Dialogue Preamp. Quite happy with it.
Setting it all up again this weekend, as I've just moved. Can't wait to fire it up :)

Primaluna separates or Integrated?
It is hard to beat the feeling of anticipation one gets from adding a new component to your system or i would imagine setting up your system after a long hiatus simonbelgium! Your mix and match configuration with Prologue amps matched with Dialog Preamp along with Timo62's suggestion of Prologue pre matched with Dialogue HP amp raises an intersting question. Do the Dialogue upgrades over their Prologue equivalent have a greater influence on musicality from the speaker in the Preamp stage or in the power amp stage? |
You will find the following thread to be of interest: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/primaluna-prologue-integrated-help-needed As you’ll see, the OP in that thread had a problem using the PrimaLuna ProLogue integrated amp with his GoldenEar Triton Two speakers, in the form of a "throb" at about two beats per second that occurred when the volume was raised beyond a certain point. Like your Triton Three his Twos have internal amplification for the deep bass, resulting in an impedance that rises to very high levels at deep bass frequencies. And it turned out that the amp wasn’t happy working into a load that was essentially absent at low frequencies. The result being what is referred to in electronics as "motorboating." I suggested that he try putting suitably chosen load resistors on the output terminals of the amp, and that resolved the problem. Good luck. Regards, -- Al |
