PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS

don't forget if you want to get more of an organic sound from the PL amps or any amp for that matter, need to replace the coupling caps with Jensen or Jupiter copper foil caps.

Not sure about the latest EVO amps but the dialogue and prologue used SCR and clone  SCR type caps. Very reliable, but not very musical sounding.

There has also been quite a swing in Chinese tube quality over the last 8-10 years. Today's tubes are quite good, and do not have that thin, bright brittle sound the earlier chinese tubes were known for.

happy listening.

Thanks 
i,l l write that down, and talk to dealers, I’ve had such a great positive response from Prima Luna owners that I feel confident.
just got to audition one with different speakers.
we have a valve dealer here called Watford Valves who have USA military grade valves for hi fi so will talk to them 
anything but a bright brittle sound confusingly loved by modern hi fi manufacturing !

Went back to EL34's yesterday in Trilinear mode. Slightly better sounding symbols. Overall it sound less punchy than Utralinear. Or is it the other way round? The Utralinear is louder so naturally one hears more until volume is reduced. It's a pleasant conundrum.

Hi, I have a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium...not the HP. It has been bullet proof. Drives my Maggie 1.7s no problem. Sounds fantastic and is easy on tubes. I like using winged C 6550 and el34b in it.
good luck!
cheers
