In these forums as well as the others this cdp has barely made a ripple on the high end audio pond. I thought it might get big but it didn't. However, as far as a tubed cdp without overly warm bass, look no further than the Raysonic CD128. I own one so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I think it is detailed, with powerful bass and smooth extended highs. It won''t cost you as much as the Prologue 8 will either.

The price of the PL8 since day one was set at $2499. It was never implied that the price would be $1500 or even $2000. Upscaleaudio (Threads | Answers)Upscaleaudio, in a blog posted about the Prologue Eight by Wes Phillips and Jon Iverson of Stereophile, either they made a big typo in the price they quoted of $1,395, or one of your people gave them that price. Now I know the prices given at the shows for new gear do not always come to fruition in the market, but the huge price difference was notable. Like Synthfreek, I distinctly remember reading that Stereophile blog because I was very interested in the Primaluna Eight and was scouring the net for any piece of information on it I could find. The low price of the Prologue Eight Wes Phillips quoted on the blog was discouraging in light of the price that it became when introduced on the market. The price in the blog was radically different than the market price.
