Upscale Audio and Primaluna


spoke to aggresive salesperson who pushed prima luna integrated amps and other primaluna gear.

this was after i called to buy another component.  Anyone know about primaluna stuff.

all this guy did was tear into my system saying how deficient it is and that i should buy primaluna.

Absolutely not! If i ask him what he thinks of my gear and then get critiqued, fine.  He asked me what i had and then was harsh, all for purposes of selling me his stuff.  I called about another item and was steered to his preference.

it was exceptionally rude, and some of what he said was inaccurate.


Upscale sells great procts, albeit at full price.

however, all brands are at the mercy of their unrelenting push from Prima luna gear.  Heavily biased. 
When i spoke to them, a macintosh amp was criticized vs being told a prima luna integrated amp would be better.  And saying a nucleus was inferior to nucleus plus due to it being pcm vs getting full resolution with a nucleus plus, etc.

once these guys mention primaluna, i lose interest.  Its ugly and not high end quality.  Good value but not as good as high end stuff. 
So how can anyone be comfortable with a primaluna recommendation from uptone?  For the price its probably pretty good but other things he sells that cost a hell of alot more may be alot better.  Who else sells prima?  
I might have considered a prima luna preamp with tubes, but i think its ugly.  
Seems lots of repairs inolving fuses and dealing with issues.

Dont want any PL gear if i always need parts.

it all sales.  I remember Crazy Eddie from 20 yrs ago.  Just dont like pushy sales people who push gear with higher margins and biased.  Not healthy.
I’d like to see Kevin advocate the benefits of eating healthy food.  He would save the world.

prima luna peas for all!
