I have been an Evo 400 preamp owner, for 2 mo's. It is is the best preamp I have ever owned, by a wide margin. I have owned 3 others. I use Shunyata PC's on my amp ( SS class AB) and the evo 400, and my source streamer ( Uses Shunyata black Mamba PC) . I also use an oppo bdp 105 modified by Modwright with a tube circuit. It uses a shunyata sidewinder Gold on the outboard tube power supply, and a PS audio pc on the 105. Speakers are B&W Nautilus 805 signature 805. I have never enjoyed the music more. I used Upscale audio's 60 day trial, and I never sent it back. My ears don't lie to me, whatever the opinions on theses forums say. 40+ yrs in this hobby listening.
Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you
I'm curious if anyone owns the EVO 300 or 400 Preamps. Besides what your thoughts are on the sonics I would like to know how it is to live with on a daily basis.
Any issues with powering on/off if your amp is already on? Trying to understand order of operations and how sensitive a process powering on is.
How is the volume control to work with via remote? Can you you get very fine adjustments, or is that only possible with the knob on the unit?
Any thoughts on the Balanced vs Single Ended outputs (for the EVO 400)?
Anyone pair it with a SS amp with good results?
Do the Tape outputs work flawlessly?
Please add anything else you think is of note!
Thanks!
