PrimaLuna vs Mystere

Has anyone made direct comparisons between PrimaLuna and its higher-end sister brand, Mystere? I would venture a guess that they should perform quite similar, but I wonder if Mystere uses better parts which may result in superior sonic performance?

Also, what is the overall general consensus on the sound of Mystere? I've read some reviews that it doesn't express the typical valve sound, but I wonder if anyone here has experience with their preamps and amps. I guess characteristics of their 'house sound' is what I'm looking for.

I'd appreciate any insight! Thanks in advance.

Why not call the distributor?If anyone can tell you the scoop it's Kevin.
The obvious difference is features, which I like on my Dialogue HP.The Dialogue series can switch from UL to triode. The Mystere does have that nice stepped volume control, but both use premium parts. Aesthetics are subjective-I like both, but don't care for the Black only finish of the Mystere.
The Dialogue series appears to be very similar on many levels with the Mystere, but Kevin certainly would be the authority.
Not a bad choice either way.
