Primaluna tube gear

Are the rave reviews from the rags correct on this brand ? I see what seems like alot of only a few month old pieces for sale here often. Anyone own any ? What are your impressions ?

Geez ... where is this coming from? There are three PL items for sale now. There are rarely more than a handful for sale at any time. There are 30 plus Naim pieces for sale today ... would you sound the alarm for Naim?

Many PL owners, threads, and reviews on this site. Search the archives.

I'm extremely happy with my Dialogue1. I also currently own two Cary amps, a V12 and 300B SEI. Over the years I have owned many top brands including ARC, a RM10, Forte 4, and so forth. The Primaluna amps travel in that company. High build quality, easy to use, tube rolling a delight with the auto bias feature, tailor your sound as it takes many different tubes. I like its looks; but, most important they sound really good to me, all the audiophile attributes are there in spades. System synergy is important as always. And Kevin Deal at Upscale is a first rate high end distributor.

Rest easy my friend. This brand is excellent. I don't own it but I have a close friend who does and I have spent many hours listening to his system. He owns a preamp with built in MM phono and a stereo amp, both Signature models purchased at RMAF in 2010. You cannot pass judgement on any performance criteria for a component because they hit the for sale rack on A-Gon. Wait long enough and you will see everything from the cheapest to the most expensive listed here.

In this video it's claimed that Primaluna's adaptive bias circuit is the only one that adjusts the tube bias as the gain increases. Is it really the only one that can do this? There are other auto bias tube amplifiers out there.
