Why is there no love for Prima Luna?


I have noticed fairly negative comments on Prima Luna in various discussions. Granted, I’ve never heard their gear but they seem to offer quite a value proposition. Point to point wiring, auto bias, protection circuits, easy tube rolling, good parts and build quality. I had considered looking into the Evo series integrated but the brand seems to be downplayed on this forum. Anyone have direct experience as to why?

I had a Primluna EVO 300. Later on, I auditioned a Line Magnetic LM805ia with NOS tubes. Pfft! Fuggedaboutit!! Sound wise: Not that Primaluma sounded bad, but definitely Line Magnetic FTW. Warranty and support wise (and if you want all around great people to “Deal” with) then maybe Prima Luna/Upscale Audio. 



Words from the original post...

"Point to point wiring, auto bias, protection circuits, easy tube rolling, good parts and build quality."

Words from one of the responses...

"Sadly, the Orwellian tactics (ie. "ignorant Republican") and barbarity some people will rationalize or "blur" for their "cause" is still a necessary cautionary tale for those unwilling to close their eyes...."

Time to get back on course?


It’s like trying to make a u-turn in a container ship here sometimes. Good luck Glupson!
This year I am upgrading all my equipment.

I am trying to buy from North America and support the smaller audio companies.

I just received a Raven Blackhawk Mk.3.1 Integrated (2020 update) which I am using to power some Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers w/RAAL.

I only have to use 1/4 turn to drive the Towers. The speakers are even more holographic now that I have added the Blackhawk. 

My cables are all Raven Audio and I was shocked at how extremely well built all the cables were. The amp is extremely well built, with excellent parts from all over the world. Raven is a class act.

I am glad to see great equipment from Asia at a good prices like the Doge 10 or the Willsenton R8.  Can you listen to them before you buy, or do they offer a period of time to decide if you want to keep them?

There are many North American companies that don't get the press Asia is starting to get now. Many of them do offer a 30 or 45 day return policy.

I love my Raven. Thanks Dave, James and Bryant for your excellent products and support.
