I have the Primaluna dialogue premium preamp. I believe the only thing that changed in the EVO line, is the addition of balanced connections. Until about two years ago, I was running my Shanling tube CD player straight into my Belles 150 a hot rod amp, using the built in volume control in the Shanling. I was of the school of thought that the best preamp is no preamp. Wow what a difference when I added the PL! The soundstage opened up in every way. Imaging became holographic and very airy. I have no desire to upgrade the preamp, very satisfied.
Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you
I'm curious if anyone owns the EVO 300 or 400 Preamps. Besides what your thoughts are on the sonics I would like to know how it is to live with on a daily basis.
Any issues with powering on/off if your amp is already on? Trying to understand order of operations and how sensitive a process powering on is.
How is the volume control to work with via remote? Can you you get very fine adjustments, or is that only possible with the knob on the unit?
Any thoughts on the Balanced vs Single Ended outputs (for the EVO 400)?
Anyone pair it with a SS amp with good results?
Do the Tape outputs work flawlessly?
Please add anything else you think is of note!
Thanks!
