PrimaLuna CD Player?

I've been dead set on making this purchase for almost a year and now that it's finally arrived the price has nearly doubled. This changes everything. $1395 was within my budget but $2495 I just can't do. Guess it's the Rega Apollo or Cambridge 840C for.

beware of purchasing a prima luna cd player. you may go crazy . you may become a prima luna-tic.

I'd like to hear from someone that has purchased one myself.

2495.00 is the price. Hopefully we'll see some reviews in the not too distant future.

One of the links says 1395.00 and the other 2495.00. I am going to guess the higher price is the right one.

PrimaLuna Prolougue 8 CD Player is now in stock

I think it's coming out in the next couple of weeks.

Any news on this player?

i heard the prima luna cd player at ces.

the sound of "modern tube designs" is what you can expect from this component. that is, it sounds like there are no tubes in it. fortunately, it doesn't sound like a solid state cd player.

as i have said and will continue to emphasize, current tube designs no longer have the virtues of traditional tube designs. i believe that differences between tube amps of similar power and tube line stages are very small. it almost does not make a difference what product you purchase, unless the circuit is tube sensitive.
