Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available...

so all the other "nice-ties" like remote control switching between triode and UL and the bad tube indicator were part of past models too?  Obviously those type of things don't effect sound and seem more geared towards making tube gear seem less "scary" to use by a larger target market.  Hopefully the new model includes features that drive sonics as well.

I know this is being nit picky but I just wish the PL gear looked better.  I really like the looks of nearly all others - ARC, VAC, Luxman, Octave, Cary etc...I supposed PL is wedded to their aesthetic.

The move to balanced outputs was purely borne from marketing.  I could tell from past videos how frustrated Kevin was that many consumers simply need to see XLR connections to justify the purchase, regardless if they could ever tell the difference sonically.  He's playing to the market and I don't blame him...he's a businessman, not an audio purist.
