Why is there no love for Prima Luna?


I have noticed fairly negative comments on Prima Luna in various discussions. Granted, I’ve never heard their gear but they seem to offer quite a value proposition. Point to point wiring, auto bias, protection circuits, easy tube rolling, good parts and build quality. I had considered looking into the Evo series integrated but the brand seems to be downplayed on this forum. Anyone have direct experience as to why?

How about an $100 Yugo? Would that be "great buy at this price point"?

Yes. I paid $402 although that one had aero kit and a few more extras.
It seems that there is a lots of love for Primaluna from people who actually listen to it. That is what matters.

Words from one of the responses...

"Sadly, the Orwellian tactics (ie. "ignorant Republican") and barbarity some people will rationalize or "blur" for their "cause" is still a necessary cautionary tale for those unwilling to close their eyes...."

Time to get back on course?

No, it was some Chuck The China Man on audiogon.

Not any meaner than...

"So the only reason to buy anything made in China is either full on outright ignorance, or an obsession with cheaping out strong enough to override all that. Or both."

Every now and then, reality check is in order.
