Primaluna?

When I decided I wanted to get my feet wet with a tube integrated I was looking for the best bang for my buck. I went with a Jolida Fusion 6802 on close out from Walter. I like it a lot but that’s coming from a guy that had only had receivers in the past running a pair of Canton Karat 930 bookshelf speakers from ‘93.
Without question tubes are for me. Within the 2 years I’ve had the Jolida, I’ve gotten a hold of a set of PSB Imagine T speakers(not the best but better than the Cantons), MHDT Orchid DAC (For CD Transport) and still waiting for my Decware phono stage. After I receive the Phono Stage, a much better pair of speakers will be next. I then will evaluate where I go with the amp.

I guess what I’m saying is it’s been a learning experience and may be one for you. So don’t hesitate to buy a Prima Luna and enjoy the journey.

+1 for Primaluna.

I started with a used Prologue One and later upgraded to a new Prologue Premium. I have been very pleased with my Primaluna amps. In addition to driving my Harbeths, they also handle my hard to drive Maggie 1.7i’s without breaking a sweat. I also have a Hegel Rost integrated, which I greatly enjoy, but I I keep coming back to the Primaluna as my preference. You won’t go wrong with a Primaluna, and you’ll certainly thank yourself for stepping into the magical sound of tube amplification. (I always buy a new quad of tubes when it’s time to replace.)

Rogue?

Rogue also makes a good solid integrated tube amp plus it is made in Pa. I visited their warehouse and watched their staff assemble the amps including circuit boards. Their customer service is excellent and I even spoke to Mark the owner/ designer several times. It’s great when everything is under one roof.

I purchased the Cronus Magnum 3 after owning a PL Dialogue Premium. I used both amps with Gold Lion KT77 power tubes and similar preamp tubes and found the Rogue more detailed and refined. I can’t comment on the newer PL EVO amps since I never heard them but you can’t go wrong with either company.
 

The Rogue is not auto biasing but it is so easy to perform. I checked the biasing every few months and any adjustments that are required take me about 1 minute. I actually prefer biasing myself since I know it is the correct value.
