I would try the KT150 tubes. The EL34 tubes will give you a fantastic midrange but not the extreme bass or highs. Are you using the integrated in triode mode or ultralinear mode? You could also call Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio, as he is the importer of Prima Luna. Tell him what you have for speakers and see what he says.
PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming
Hi all, I wonder if someone can help or advise. I bought an ex. Display Primaluna Evo 200 a couple of weeks ago, mainly based on all the rave reviews and excellent comments on various forums. I must say, that vocals are terrific but overall, the sound seems muffled. There seems to be a hole where the mid range detail should be. I have tried the 4 and 8 ohm settings and there doesn’t seem a great deal of difference. I am using it with a Linn Genki CD player and Robson Acoustics Opulus speakers, also Vintage Tannoy Mercury speakers. I haven’t messed with the tubes because I have no idea how to do that. I so want this amplifier to sound beautiful but there is something missing. Can anyone help please?
