    Appreciate the review. A quick note that the title indicated a review of the "Preamplifier" but the video covers the "Integrated" Amplifier as does the product name on the unit.

      Nice catch. I'll fix that. Thank you.

    Best amp I ever owned!

    Hi,
    I currently own a used PrimaLuna DiaLogue Two.
    I am thinking about upgrading.
    I learned that the EVO 100 is the 3rd generation of my unit.
    IDK for an extra $1,000.
    If it's worth it.
    The EVO 200, is $1,600.
    more than my used unit.
    I am confident that the EVO 200 will be a better overall performer than my current model.
    But I'm wondering if the new EVO 100 will provide an 'appreciable difference' in sound performance
    Both the new EVO 100
    & 200 come with an amazing headphone amp which my current model doesn't have & that costs money.
    Any thoughts regarding the costs of these products vs their
    Performances?
    Thanks!

      Really I bought a 200. It’s a fantastic sounding amplifier . Well 10 months later I upgraded to a 400. Didn’t regret it for 1 second, that thing is sublime & boy has it got a punch driving Martin Logan ESL’s . If I knew how good the EVO 400 is I would have bought it straight away.

    Amazing amp, I have one. Can the stereo sub-outs be used as pre-outs to enable bi-amping ? Thanks

      @GramophoneMD  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello Mystic, thanks for your question. Prima Luna responded to our inquiry that they do not suggest that, as there will be some latency involved, as they are at line level, but are not a true pre-out.

      Can anyone advise me: I own a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium tub I purchased new in 2013. integrated Amp. Does it stand up to todays amps. I’ve taken good care of it and havent run it into the ground , only used it for critical listening. I use a Emotiva Amp for every day use.
      How does it compare to the recent integrated models?

      As also, I’ve replaced the original tubes with Tung Sol and Cifte’ NOS.

    Any comments about the phono input option? Thanks

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can order one with a built in phono, the standard option is without, and it can be confusing at first glance as even if it does not have in built phono, the RCA connectors remain as they do not alter the body for it.

    Can I buy this and start listening? Or do I need cables separately… and “tubes” separately?

    • @GramophoneMD
      @GramophoneMD  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You'll need speakers, speaker cables, a source component of some kind such as a CD player or streamer, and an interconnect cable for that source, and of course power.

      The tubes are fitted. I had to jiggle one of mine from memory, the tube light came on once . It’s coming up 12 months old no other problems. The best HiFi purchase I ever made. A brilliant amplifier. Mine is the EVO 200.

      Only on the 300 & 400. The 100 & 200 do not have them. I own a 400 now replacing my 200. I got a good deal. The 400 is brilliant. I use it for music & my speakers have plenty of low end power so don’t use them.
