Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T


I am going to put together a tube system around one of these integrated amps. I'm wondering if anyone here has compared the two amps. They are about the same price, the Primaluna is rated at 38 watts per channel, the Cayin is at 45 watts. They both use KT-88 tubes. I haven't selected speakers yet, but I am leaning towards Harbeth 7es-3. Any comments/opinions would be appreciated.

Cayin wins my vote. When I was looking for a tube amp I tried the Prima and Cayin, and many others. Cayin won the day, cleaner sound, better value. In over five years I have not had a problem. The amp is used with ProAc speakers, 140's and 1SC's.
