Primaluna opinions wanted

Primaluna amps, pre-amp, and integrated amps are cost effective and dependable units. If you like the sound/synergy with your other stuff. If.......

It is excellent product at a modest cost. It ain't a giant killer, as you put it, but then I think that 'giant killers' only exist in the minds of imaginative folks who envy the ability of some audiophiles to spend a lot of money for bling, sometimes more than quality perhaps, and invent a 'giant killer' catagory to justify their purchases, OR it is a term invented by manufacturers (and audio reviewers) which is nothing more than product puffery.

IMHO.

I will venture to say that is a Big Bang for the money.I'm not new to tubes (Air Tight,Viva,CJ,Jadis,Quicksilver-to mention a few).It responds very well to tube upgrades and I didn't feel that the purchase of Genelex/GEC NOS King Of the Triodes was a waste of $1200+.I hear the difference these have made.Could I be happy with "stock" tubes,probably but they are a little solid-state in nature

I have owned Peima Luna 3 preamp and pl 6 amp for a couple of years and have been very pleased with it. I am one of those who mooved from ss to tube. I have not regretted the move. However, those of us who enjoy great mudic are always looking for the ultimate in sound within the range of our resources. I have had a love affair with Mcintosh over the years, and in the last few weeks have been doing a bit of research and evaluation as to whether or not I could improve my sound by going back to Mc. I don't have th facilities to a/b compare. But so far I have gotten the word from those I have talked to who have made the comparison that there is not a great deal of improvement. This is comparing PL with somewhat comparable Mc. This is far from a scientific comparison. But for the price,I don't think you can beat the PL for pewrformance. Happy liatening. J.Notth1178
