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?

Why is there no love for Prima Luna?

I had a PL Prologue Premium preamp and it allowed me to hear into the music with Maggie 3.6's. I traded up to the Dialogue Premium preamp and I lost that.

I went to Thiel CS5i's with a DNA-500 and could never make the Dialogue Premium sound musical no matter what tubes are tried.

Just too analytical for my taste. You could "see" the spit on the microphone but not hear the splash when it hit.

I sold it and the new owner is loving it....

Different strokes I guess.

Any fans of the EVO400 preamp? I am thinking of getting into tubes and so far what I've seen and read about it is impressive.
I also got a lot of push back on our sonic visions discord with people claiming Prima luna sucks or is junk or not worth it/overpriced. I think they prefer custom SE builds from designers. What I like about prima luna though is likely there is definitely some demand for it if I need to sell and I like how polished it is and seemingly well made (52 lbs !). When I look at some of the recommendations they have, many of them look very well made as well, but some of them are like an empty box with a few PCBs and some tubes... and they weigh 15 lbs? Im not saying weight = quality... but I dunno it makes me skeptical.

Now of course I have to listen to it but based on everything I read its an exceptional preamp worth the money.
I should add my current preamp is a Conrad Johnson 17LS2 and it was/is much more musical in MY system than the PL Dialogue Premium preamp.

Again, different strokes.
