Straight out of the box doesn't work.


Just received my new Prima Luna EVO 400. Heavy thing, looks good. Took the foam off the tubes, only on the power tubes. Nothing on the small tubes. I'm new at this, don't know what they are called. I did notice some of the tubes were a little crooked so I seated them in a little better. However ( you new that was coming) two of the small tubes on the right kind of wooble. Did I spell that right? What the hell plugged in and red light on the right side. It doesn't work right out of the box. Going back tomorrow. Just wanted to let ya know. Going to go through the recommendations again. Good night.

Yes, I was a little PO last night. Tubes just don't fit right on the right. Red light on right front. They sent me a RA and PP sticker. I will try another one. But while it's on its way I'm going to demo an ARC 75se. 5.5k with new tubes. It came fedex, no damage on the box. 
I like the Raven NH, but I am going separates. Just bought a ARC LS28SE, Audio Mirror Dac . I like it all with my Parasound A21+, but want to see what I get with a tube amplifier. I have over 100 bottles  of wine.
Yes, I have no problem with imports. Chinese or otherwise. I am going to give the PL another shot. The main thing that bugged me is the two tubes that were loose and would not seat tight in the sockets.
