Prima Luna Premium Pre


Hello,

How does The Prima Luna Prologue Premium Preamp compare to the larger tube companies like Audio Research, Conrad Johnson etc?

I was talking to a dealer who was really praising Prima Luna, their superior build quality and sound.

I am a bit skeptical as I don't have any knowledge of Prima Luna and I see they are a Chinese company.

Does anyone have experience with Prima Luna and how hey compare with the more established companies?

Thank You

Without question, one of the best values today. It outperforms units costing three times more. I am extremely pleased with mine. Build quality is excellent. My selling dealer let me take a demo home for a couple of days. I was sold right away.

Apparent, my retailer is batting 1000 with this process with 10 out 10 customers buying the Primaluna following an in-home audition. This amp blows my McIntosh MA2275 out of the water.
Matt, thanks for your virtual analysis of my ears, cables, speakers and/something!

By way of reference, the amp to which I am referring is the Primaluna Dialogue Premium. Since I own this unit and have owned a MA2275, I think I am fairly qualified to make a statement as to which gear sounds better to ME unless you have some way of magically analyzing the performance of my system remotely.

While the amp does not have all power of the MA2275, it is more than adequate to drive my Totem speakers as I rarely listen to loud music anymore.
