Primaluna?


I’m thinking about giving a full tube setup a go and Primaluna in particular.  Looking to hear people’s experiences with Primaluna in general. My main draw to them outside of tubes is there auto bias and protective features.  Wondering if people generally replace a single bad tube or if people are replacing all tubes of that type when there’s a failure.  Also would be interested if there were any other companies with at least a similar protective feature. The auto bias sounds great but the protective features are a bigger deal to me.

Surprised no one has mentioned Line Magnetic. I have had a PL Evo 300 and the LM 805ia (which I now own) in the same room and it wasn't even close. The LM805ia has two individual biases for each channel that can be adjusted on the fly at any moment. Which might be once every few months.

PL was fine sounding but the Line Magnetic is a big step up for roughly the same price and power. if you search this and other forums I think you’ll consistently find the same amswer amongst those who have actually listened to both.

After this joke of a thread "Prima Luma fires back against Raven"

I'd NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a PL anything!

PL makes exceptional gear. They’ve improved a lot over the past 16 years. The parts in their amplifiers are first class. It’s not the finest amp you can buy. But it’s not $30k either. And can’t you sample their gear without committing to a purchase? I could be wrong. All I know is it’s wrong for Raven to attack gear that sells well in an attempt to sell your own product while lying in the process. In my day, that’s the sort of thing that would get you an a•• whooping! That was a punk ass move.
