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.

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

I'd NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a PL anything!

Yah. How dare they defend themselves?

I have Primaluna HP mono's & Diologue Premium preamp paired with Wilson Sopia II.   I've had no problems. mix & match tubes with no issues and to my ears....they sound magical.   Are there better brands,  sure...but for the price it's going to be hard to beat.  I've had them for 4-5ish years now and have no intention of selling them unless I hit the lottery.

so, you compared the primaluna to line magnetic or the 805 tube to the el34/kt88 tube?

This is what he stated above "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." 

 

I'd say yes to both of your questions

I know prima Luna build quality is pretty good, but I could never get past the looks. Just don’t care for the aesthetics.
