Primaluna DiaLogue HP Integrated Vs Line Magnetic 845ai


Has anyone compared these models? Both have been heralded by reviewers. Both are said to be well-built and reliable. They're about the same price and supposedly good value for the money. I have Harbeth Super SHL5's, Kimber Kables, and an AVID Sequel Turntable. What do you think? And thanks for taking the time to comment.

I have the Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated with KT 150's and NOS tubes. The Line Magnetic 805 I bought was so much better than the Primaluna that there was no point in A/B ing them. I just immediately boxed up the Primaluna for sale. 

The Lane Magnetic is quite a step up from my suped-up Primaluna. It's much sweeter and less grainy, cold and analytical. The PL sounded dry next to the Line Magnetic with stock tubes. More extended in each direction but never harsh.
