I've owned one for 7mos now and am happy with it. I don't find it over emphasizes or puts an edge on any sound it produces. It simply doesn't draw attn to itself. Remove the tube cage and add some dampening rings and things get even better. I have very satisfying presentation and soundstaging. I'm running it into a Conrad Johnson CA200 and a pair of Thiel CS 2 2 speakers that I've had new since 1993...which will soon be replaced by something from DeVore Fidelity. Will this be my last player? No more so than this will be my last pair of shoes. As long as I'm enjoying the music, the Prologue 8 stays. So far, I see no reason to part with it...at this time. On another note, when I read comments here, I wonder if the write is a dealer. So I declare I am in no way, shape, form, or fashion benefitting from or affiliated with PrimaLuna its dealer network or its product line. I'm just an A'goner providing feedback to fellow member's inquiry.
