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.

Great questions. Could I suggest you post this as a new thread and delete this. It is a great question. But this is already a long thread.

I’d be happy to respond. Big questions.

Tube amps are considered more romantic sounding  than solid state because, more often than not, their signature sound has a little less treble than a typical solid state amp, and their bass has a bit less kick drum/electric bass punch. In other words, the sound is a little less in-your-face -- a situation that instinctively favors the romantic side of existence.
