New PrimaLuna Evo's

"IN CHINA. I returned my demo model once I found that out."

You won't be demoing much equipment, if you REALLY want to dissect the way things work. SMH

I have the Primaluna EVO 400 pre and poweramp running on Klipsch Cornwall's 4. Excellent equipment! Big, open soundstage. I swapped the EL34 for KT150.

On any of the PL amps, HP, EVO, Non-HP, you have not heard them until you get those plastic film coupling caps replaced with copper foils from Jensen or Jupiter. Takes you much closer to the sound of the VAC amps. 

I agree with @kevweldon. Look, we all know that we can’t buy 100% American because most, if not all PCBs and other internal parts are produced in China. However, to the extent that we can avoid products which are blatantly made there, we CAN do so by purchasing products that say "Made in America."

True with many well made amplifiers. Glad to also report I’ve realized real benefit in my last four amplifiers even replacing good caps with "great" caps can make a remarkable and very rewarding improvement after full burn-in cycle is completed.

I started comparing higher end optional upgrade caps used in TOTL Cary amplifiers and began installing the same caps in all of my Cary Audio and Quicksilver Audio tube amplifiers and preamplifiers. Worth it every time.
