Primaluna Prologue Premium Intgtd Amp - Matching

Thanks all - I decided to take the plunge and went and bought the Primalunas Prologue Premiums - and am loving every small bit ! The Primalunas Prologue Premiums drive the Focals beautifully, and especially enriching jazz, vocals and classicals.

I find the treble/high tones a bit harsh when listening to rock (A/C DC BAck in Black), but perhaps I need to provide for a little more of burn in.

Again, thanks for all the input - would be happy to keep you posted on the progress here.

PS : I am based in Singapore....

cheers,

Not to dissuade you from your original choice in integrated amps, but you may want to check out Mystere instead. You get additional head room regarding power. This is the "high end" division of the same company that offers PrimaLuna products.

I own the Mystere CA11 preamp and really like it. I traded in my PrimaLuna preamp for the Mystere and have never looked back.

the PL tends to be slightly forward in the highs but because its tubes that adds no irritants, just a different tonal balance. It is extremely revealing, so you may be taking a layer off your source and seeing a problem that was covered up before.
My experience with break in was basically that the amp got more dynamic, better sound stage as it broke in but tonal balance didn't change.
