PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS

FWIW I have owned both the PL integrateds and the Cayin integrateds. I found that the PL's (with the tubes I used at least) were warmer than the Cayins which was a good thing. I also found the PL's far more reliable than the Cayins. I still have versions of each in the house and I use the PL's. I've had them for about 5 years with no issues at all. Heavy use.

Service for them in GB is unknown to me. I'm amazed that it cost so much to just send over the channel. :-(

I own a Dialogue integrated. You almost never see this stuff for re-sale. What does that tell you?? (not being sarcastic)

I have owned a Primaluna Dialogue HP loaded with KT150s integrated for over a year now and can’t say enough good things about this amp. I had my neighbor help me paint my house and what did I pay him with? Yes a Primaluna Dialogue HP! We both love this amp. I run a speaker company and do listening parties all the time and lug my Primaluna with me to drive any of my speaker line. These things  are amazing. High quality components with point to point wiring and never had an issue. Awesome amp! 

Love my Prologue 5. Beautifully built. Zero problems.

Any competent tube amp tech could fix one in the unlikely event that something went wrong.

They have a 'gorgeous, romantic' sound.

I had Dialogue integrated and traded it for a Dialogue HP integrated. (Had a tube Mac prior then a Hegel). I rolled the supplied el34’s to KT 120’s to power sonus faber’s that needed more to drive them. It’s around four years old now. No problems. The integrated comes with a proper thick gauge power cord. (I did upgrade that as I have a bit of the bug). I moved that to a sub.

My hifi friends also dig it and a fancy mono block friend was “stunned”.

I put anther HP in my office and kept the 34’s as the speakers on that set up don’t need more power.

On the KT120 rig I also put in a fancy fuse. Ok on that I think it mattered but I’m not sure.

On both I run 10G Off the spool OFC wire. The 4ohm taps made a large difference. It also has 8's.

I like the look of 34’s because they glow more than 120’s. I’m a visual artist.

I run a sub on both.

The remote control is made of metal and is solid/heavy as are the very well built PL’s.

If you want that warm tube sound you’ll get it. Mostly my listening is Jazz but Rock/Coffeehouse/Classical and Reggie all sound great.

Do believe the hype. Or believe my wife who as I was typing this said to turn it up (Kurt Elling then onto Ben Peterson).
