Why is there no love for Prima Luna?

Any fans of the EVO400 preamp? I am thinking of getting into tubes and so far what I've seen and read about it is impressive.
I also got a lot of push back on our sonic visions discord with people claiming Prima luna sucks or is junk or not worth it/overpriced. I think they prefer custom SE builds from designers. What I like about prima luna though is likely there is definitely some demand for it if I need to sell and I like how polished it is and seemingly well made (52 lbs !). When I look at some of the recommendations they have, many of them look very well made as well, but some of them are like an empty box with a few PCBs and some tubes... and they weigh 15 lbs? Im not saying weight = quality... but I dunno it makes me skeptical.

Now of course I have to listen to it but based on everything I read its an exceptional preamp worth the money.

I should add my current preamp is a Conrad Johnson 17LS2 and it was/is much more musical in MY system than the PL Dialogue Premium preamp.

Again, different strokes.

better cj's >> primaluna all day long...

I’m not sure where the op is seeing all these negative comments on PL.  Possible troll? This post could be for any product, how about next time ask:  Why is there no love for [Insert product name here]?

I bought a Dialogue One from Kevin over 10 years ago, based on audition and price / performance. The brand reputation wasn’t as strong then, I just trusted my ears. China was more of a non-issue at the time, so it wasn’t a consideration.  

Re quality, It’s been in my office system for years, turned on most days all day. Anecdotal, but I figure it must have 25,000 hours on it, zero problems. Tube changes, that’s it. 

Paired with high efficiency speakers, still sounds great. 

I have owned the PL EVO 400 preamp,  for 4 months. My system has never sounded better, to my ears. I also auditioned the Dialouge premium HP integrated. I sent it back, because if tube failure.  The unit performed great in my system. After sending it back, zi missed it so much,  I auditioned the evo 400. It still have it.  
Only your ears in your system , can be the judge. Audition the evo 400 preamplifier in your system , fir up to 60 days. The only risk is the return shipping cost. Don't listen to the haters, or the non owners of the product.
