Looking for opinions on Prima Luna Prologue 6 &7

I've been looking for some user comments as well as I could use the extra power and improvement over the bass in the PL5 which I have in combo with a PL3. I've read both the review of the 6 and the 7 in Absolute Sound and Stereophile. I tend to think the reviewer in Stereophile has it right, and that is that the PL3 has a little extra warmth in the bass which compliments the PL5 and shows up when the PL3 is matched with other amps (too much bass in the few I tried the PL3 with). The Stereophile reviewer is the only reviewer who has published this bit. I think I would not buy the 6 or 7 unless I heard it with the pre-amp I would be using if it were not the PL3. FWIW.

Hello, How long have you had the PL5? All the reviews that I've read love both the PL6 & 7. One review said that they liked the warmth of the midrange in the 6 with the EL34's, but that the 7 had a tad better range in the upper and lower ranges. I guess it may depend on the types of music that you listen to most often. What TT/ cartridge are you using currently? Thanks for your input, Steve

Hey there, Could you tell me what you did for a phono preamp? I know that Primaluna offers a phono card for the PL3 and was wondering if you went that route. Thanks again, Steve
