Upscale Audio and Primaluna

"...What is the number one skill for a great salesman and negotiator? The art of listening..."

To solve your hesitations about buying. 

Kevin is a hot sh#t and a very nice guy. I find him entertaining and enthusiastic. I bought many a tube from him and always received a quality product. The fact he likes Tannoy makes him even better in my book, 😁.

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.  

Dealt with Kevin a few times. He's ok. Yes he pushes Prima Luna hard, but it is good stuff. He gave me a deal on a set of speakers that was at least 30% off retail. I guess I caught him in a good mood. Most stereo shops won't deal. He  will. And he carries top brands. 

I had a problem with an Evo 400. They promptly sent another. I demoed a AR Reference 75. I liked but the Evo sounded more musical. I kept it. Service and sales staff are very knowledgeable. Since then I have purchased an Aurender, Sutherland Insight, and just recently a Chord TT2. They always include a discount. Great people. OP probably got ahold of Al, he can be a little off. I will always buy Upscale.
