Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale...


No agenda here, just surprised how many new/newish/older Primaluna amps and integrateds are for sale as of late. Nothing but great reviews and a lot of fans out there. Any negatives or not-so-happy customers?

Some of it is because the Evo line sounds measurably better. I tried the Dialogue Premium and Evo 400 at home and the Evo line was indeed more than a shade better. A lot of smart little details have been added.

I have also wanted to trade up. But as I have upgraded my speakers, phono stage and cartridge, the Primaluna has seemed to prefer the better gear. Currently the weak link is probably the Primaluna. But the sonic presentation is blissful.

Can I get better, yes. But I want to hang out here for a while before I move on.

 

PL is relatively high volume sales, percentages of sells to buys would give much more accurate picture. I had Dialogue Four with many diy mods, sold because I prefer my much more expensive SET amps. Still listen to this amp in nephew's system, very nice setup for his first system.

 

I'd imagine most are selling because they're moving up, similar priced amps and pre's are going to be sideways move at best.

PL is pretty good for the money... I demo'd several pairs of speakers with them and I thought they sounded great.... but then I thought about how great my Quicksilver amps are and they were half the money and twice as good.  Built in USA and built to last.
