Happy New Year everybody!!! I told you yesterday. 2014 is going to be the BEST EVER YEAR. And guess what. It started already in 2013. I got my FREEDOM and already see the first results of that. With a little delay I received the first NEW PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Integrated Amplifiers and PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Poweramplifiers.  What a beauties! It won’t be easy to sell my rest stock of Audio Research (integrated) amplifiers with these new kids around. But a very good start of the New Year.

Kevin Deal from Upscale Audio, who received his samples a few weeks before me, already told me the looks were great and performance was high. “We gonna beat the shit out of a few local brands Herman with these babies”. Well, if he takes “care” of what he wants to beat, I will “research” my part of the game.

“HP” stands for High Power. Those who are familiar with PrimaLuna know about the low failure rate and the safe power ratings. We don’t want to create high power ratings by screwing the output tubes. So instead we use a double row of them. Nice and safe! They come with EL34, but can be used with KT88, KT120 as well. If you want to see how they look, look below … or visit CES2014 in Las Vegas! The Venetian Tower Suites 29-315 and 29-316. I am sure Kevin and his crew will produce some very fine sounds on his Sonus faber loudspeakers!
