I cannot comment on the Prima Luna but I had the Cary 120 which replaced a pair of Krell 250MC . Musically the Cary had it all over the Krells. I paired it with the Cary SLP-05 preamp which I still have. I would go with the system synergy as other responders have suggested.
Primaluna EVO 300 or Carey 120S MKII?
My used Pass Labs X250 just fried. I bought it at a decent price and sent it back to Pass for repair. But at this point, I’m thinking about getting something new and selling the Pass when it comes back. Warranty and all that...
Which brings me to my question. I’m looking at the Carey 120S and the Primaluna EVO (or the legacy Dialogue Premium HP). I have a Carey SLP-05 preamp with PS Audio PerfectWave dac and transporter, plus the PS Audio Powerplant. They’re all moving through GoldenEar Triton 1 reference speakers with the powered subwoofer. I’ve heard good things about the Primaluna. Does anyone have any experience with the Carey 120S? Which would be the best match for the system? Also, would the EVO 300 be sufficient to drive the Tritons?
