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,   Hey there, I just opened my PL Dialoge HP Integrated.  A slightly different layout than the amp version.  But still essentially the same. 

I'm going to leave the caps on the tube sockets alone for now. Instead, since mine has its own preamp, I'm going to pull the lower end Mundorfs from the two center preamp tubes and replace with V-Cap CuTF .22uf - Matched .5% pairs.  This is a ~$300 upgrade--in keeping with money we spend on tubes and wires.  Further, swapping these two caps is (a) likely to have the most impact; (b) the Mundorfs they replace are not high end--decent but not high end; and (c) they are an easy swap given their positioning and long leads covered in clear teflon.  

Tablejockey, I think you have an integrated too, am I right?  

I ordered the V-Caps today.  I'll get them in this week and let you know my thoughts.  

FYI--I sold my Klipsch Forte IIIs and upgraded to Cornwall IVs, but I have no idea when Music Direct will get them here. 
Jbhiller-
Yes, I have the HP Integrated. I will be looking forward to reading your experience on installing them and results. Good luck! That mod will add up quickly replacing all the caps!
jbhiller, interested to hear how cornwall 4 pairs with PL integrated.  Please post results when you get it all settled in.
Before I had a chance to read this post, I thought everybody loves PL. Well, I guess not. 
I sold PrimaLuna ProLogue 3 preamp at $1050 two years ago, which was about $1300 15 years ago. Are there many tube gears that hold that much of values?
Well, I don't consider PL like other products you can only directly buy from China. Many of them have reliability issues. I must admit that the made in China logo on PL bothers me a bit, but for the quality and service, PL is as good as any established Western made products.
For the sound, it is very subjective. Can you name any audio gears that are universally accepted as a holy grail? (Well, I guess I can name one which is close -- Apogee Diva. But it was too big for my room and sold it, and kinda regret it.)

I really like the Simaudio integrated that I traded "up" for from the PL Prologue One.  I just wish I would have never sold the PL.  It sounded great with my Totem Rainmakers in a small room.
