Having owned an ARC VT-130 for years, I recently acquired a PrimaLuna Dialogue HP Integrated. Both are wonderful devices with only slightly different and subtle (emotional) sonic differences (to my ear) which can be tweaked based on tube choice among others. Those above who discredit one because of price point should be ignored…depending on your priorities, of course. It should not be a contest to see who can spend the most. Buy what you enjoy…I suspect you’d love any of the brands you mentioned. All will reproduce recorded music beautifully.
Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers.
Hello Agoners,
May I ask how would these 3 companies stand out from each others?
Can we rank them as for:
1. Sound quality
2. Performance
3. Reliable
4. Reputation.
5. Service and support
6. Resell value.
I’m still very new to tube amps and only had Cayin A-88T and VTL ST-150 in the past.
