Cayin TA 30 vs. PrimaLuna Prologue

Seems like the Cayin and Prologue are quite similiar in Basic architecture ... perhaps mfgr by the same CHinese OEM. However, The PrimaLuna ha smany added and very usefule features. I am told the Cayin has a US modifier .... but I wonder why go throught the expense and hassle of all the mods if you can one can buy the Prima Luna on Audiogon without risk of modifications for the same price?? Anyne experienced with these brands?

That's some bad info on the Prologue 2. The adaptive auto bias on the Prologue 2 allows you to use KT88, 6550, KT90, EL34, 6L6GC, 7581A, and KT66 tubes.

Bad info on the Prologue 1 also, you can also use 6L6GC, KT66, or 7581 tubes. Go to the Upscale audio website for the real info.

I think Paul Gyrzbek makes a great product. I have the TA-30 and the TAD-60 and I think they are the proverbial screaming bargains. (I also have an Art Audio Jota as a comparison - yes the Jota is better at many multiples of the price of the TAD-60). As for service, Paul is a customer's dream. Accessible, responsive, a nice guy. I have nothing but the highest praise for him.

yeah, I just realized that my post reads like the two can only take 6550 and KT88. I meant to say that it can take those tubes in addition to the ones used in the prologue one. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, Primaluna Buy casing design form cayin, but the big different is inside, although It is handmade in China (that's made price tag low) but the designer is Marcel Croase (ex chief engineer goldmund)
