Aberyclark I think you are correct. Ron Popeil was involved with both. Slicing, dicing and thousands of julienne fries..,,,,,,
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?

@tablejockey , I think that photo you linked to caused me confusion before. PL lists Mundorf capacitors yet the photo has DuRoche or SCR caps I think. I also think PL switch from DuRoche to Mundorf at some point. At any rate, at one point (a year ago) I opened mine up to do some cleaning and take a look around. I thought swapping caps was tougher than it should be because the case was really stuffed with parts. Maybe I'll open it again and take a look. I, too, wanted to upgrade caps. I have no issue with PL making decisions to limit part cost--they all do it. I would love to use these Polish caps -- they are moving into the radar out there and have gotten more expensive. https://www.partsconnexion.com/miflex.html. I think Don Sachs uses these too. |
@tablejockey, the caps you would want to swap out are those hooked to the tube sockets. Take a look here: https://www.v-cap.com/zsolt-andrasy-primaluna-dialog-premium.php The v-caps used in that mod are supposed to be great. I know Victor of Elekit "fame" now uses them as their 300B upgrade (previously used Mundorf). |
