Primaluna separates or Integrated?


Im planning to upgrade my system around a recently purchased gorgeous sounding Primaluna CD player and my trusty 25+ year old Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. I am very interested in experiencing Primaluna amplification and am interested in advice of which route to take of either the Dialogue Premium Integrated or the Prologue Premium separates. I admit that I have not had the opportunity to listen to triode vs. ultralinear which seems to be the most significant difference between the two options.  Thoughts and opinions?

Ezstreams ,

Some of your decision might have to be based on your budget. 

I would recommend going with one of the Dialogue Premium HP versions for amplification. The Dialogue HP versions will give you more power and will drive most speakers. This will help if you decide to change speakers in the future. Some speakers require more power to drive them properly.

If you can afford separates , I would recommend either:
Dialogue Premium Preamp / Dialogue Premium HP Amp 
                                       or
Prologue Premium Preamp / Dialogue Premium HP AMP

If you budget is in the range of an integrated amp then I would recommend The Dialogue Premium HP.

You can check out Primaluna's web page for prices.
