ARC VSi60 vs PrimaLuna Integrated Amps

I am considering purchasing one or the other, either an ARC VSi60 or a Primaluna Premium or Dialouge Two. I am sure many of the members have purchased both. I think that either one offer a lot of value. I would like to hear from anyone that has purchased one of these integrated amps, especially from those that AB'd them both with their speakers and why they chose one over the other.

Any feedback would be helpful . . .

It looks good to me but I'm so gun shy after this Ayon thing I might buy one used to try out but I never see much Primaluna for sale and the couple pieces I saw were like 70 or 80% of the new price and I'm used to seeing 50 or 60% off for used.

Is the reason so few are for sale because they don't sell many in the first place?

Therealist, I think plenty of them are sold new. The reason so few used ones are for sale, and at a high percentage of retail, is that owners are happy with them. I recently traded in ARC separates for a Dialog Premium Integrated, and I am totally happy and have "zero" regrets.

Hi Mabonn thanks for answering. I find it hard to believe that you sold Audio Research separates to get Primaluna. I saw another thread where a guy sold his ARC Referance 30 preamp and Referance 110 power amp to get a Dialogue premium hp integrated with KT150 tubes in it.

Now that sounds awesome. I'm thinking of doing something really cool as a reference system so I may look at pre/power combos.

What do you guys think about the build quality of Primaluna?
