Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?


Hi. First of all, I am not an audiophile but simply love music and like it certain way but not overly crazy. I started out with solid state Mcintosh for couple years. I recently listen to few tube amps like audio research, t+a, cary audio and prima luna. I can afford all those big expensive brands but I thought primaluna sounded as good if not better and it cost fraction of other big names.  Just curious if anyone has experience with it? What you like the most? What you feel need improvement? Any issue with customer service? How's the company? Is quality really that better as they claim against other competitors? Thank you for your feedback.

Oh and by the way.  If you buy the amp from Upscale they give you 60 days to try it on.  I'm not pushing upscale just wanted you to be aware of that.  It's almost "can't go wrong".  
I own the Prima Luna Dialogue Premium. Just bought it Nov of 16 from Upscale.

It makes beautiful music across the spectrum.

By the way, I bought it and hooked it up to my Klipsch RP-260F and it sounded fantastic. Upgraded those to Zu Audio Druids and rolled the tubes to high end NOS tubes and it's at a totally new level.

If you are a music lover you will be extremely, extremely happy with a Prima Luna amp.

And I can vouch for the build quality as others have done. The self biasing alone is worth buying it for considering it’s performance is so outstanding. A tube short can/will cost you money and repair time in an amp without that circuit/protection. And that will be part of your cost of ownership for such an amp. Something to think about right there.
