PrimaLuna Prologue 8 CD Player Sound

Go for it.
For 1.5K used or demo , it is a great cdp.

I have seen at least 2 or 3 in the past month. I am not sure but I think he was also a dealer.

Synthfreek - you are right.
Original projected MSRP. was around $1600 then $1999 and end up at 2.5k.
Is it worth that much...? I leave it to you. However it would be a KILLER AT $1500....up to 2K.

Regardless of price, it is a fine, details fast and in the same time musical and not to edgy cdp (a lot of CDP under 2K
are ether edgy, colored, laid back to hide imperfections - very few strike home run. Those that came with winning formula are well known within the circle).

I was verrrry close and almost purchase Prima Luna 8 but also could not fully swallow full price. At the time, there was non on AgoN listings......So when given a right price for Consonance Droplet, I didn't think twice.

Very industrial looking....yes.
Some may find it atractive.
I do.
Besides, ones you turn off the lights all you are going to see is sexy glow of tubes and beautiful sound.
$1500 used or demo is a steal.IMO
If you are in that price range and like fast transparent and a bit tubey sound.....get it, and you will enjoy it for a long time.

Actually (upscaleaudio)
there were at least two that were sold for around $1500.
I know becase the seller refuse my offer just to sell it for less two weeks later. The second piece went for auction and was sold by the same seller for about the same.
I did not bit on that one because the seller pissed me off and I bought Opera Drople CDP from the dealer that I usually do business with. At the end , it was close.......and I almost end up with PL8 .......which I am sure would complement my rig just as well as Drolet......just a little different.
