Primaluna opinions wanted

Hello
Happy new year!

Is the Primaluna brand a giant killer in the tube realm,or the flavor of the day and over rated?

Are the buyers mostly new to tube (due to the self bias feature) and tickled with what they hear opposed to the SS they most likey had?

inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks for any comments.

I will venture to say that is a Big Bang for the money.I'm not new to tubes (Air Tight,Viva,CJ,Jadis,Quicksilver-to mention a few).It responds very well to tube upgrades and I didn't feel that the purchase of Genelex/GEC NOS King Of the Triodes was a waste of $1200+.I hear the difference these have made.Could I be happy with "stock" tubes,probably but they are a little solid-state in nature

As long as we are headed off topic,lets' increase the budget to say $5-6K.We might now include integrateds from Cary,VAC,ARC and amplifiers such as the small Jadis,some OTLs:Atmosphere,Berning,Navison,Lamm,the Dartzel,Soul amps,VAC PHI and Ren and I'm sure I have missed a few.
McGarick:What is the budget?Integrated or pre/power?Any idea what speakers will be used?
