PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Poweramplifier – Tube Rolling – KT150

A couple weeks ago we shared on this page the review of Christiaan Punter of www.hifi-advise.com about our PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Poweramplifier.

One of the statements he made during the review was:

“Apparently, this is one of those rare occasions where a magical match is made. After 20 minutes of playing time (the amp was brand new) involvement was raised to the point where it became hard to walk away.

Christiaan has shared another review about our ( now his ) PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Poweramplifier. He made a comparison between the EL 34 tubes and the KT150 tubes.

NEW! Review Franco Serblin Accordo loudspeaker by Christiaan Punter – HFA

Geplaatst op 06/03/2018 door beheerder

Perhaps you have recently read the very laudatory review of Christiaan Punter – HFA on our PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Poweramplifier read on this blog.

If you missed the review, you can read it out completely. Link: http://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/analog-reviews/amplifier-reviews/primaluna-dialogue-premium/

Over the past few weeks, Christiaan has listened extensively to Franco Serblin’s Accordo and published the review on his website. Among other things, he says:

“Older Sonus Faber favourites can sound great but usually, I find them to sound a little too coarse, too rough, especially in the treble. Current Sonus Fabers are much more refined but somehow I also find that some of the purity and midrange magic of the classic models has gone. The Franco Serblin Accordos manage to strike a perfect balance between these two extremes. They sound fluid and refined but are also hugely communicative and immediately emotionally engaging. They demand a serious investment but reward with a sensuous luxury as well as an incredibly natural sound that I have not heard from any dynamic speakers costing less. By always allowing the listener to focus on the emotional message, not the technical details, they encourage to stop the upgrade process and just enjoy the music.”

Thank you very much, Christiaan Punter. Very much appreciated.

“The soundstage is very wide and timbre very natural, quite a bit more so than with the other amps. ” Christiaan Punter – HFA

“Now for the really ridiculous combination. Believe me or not, but the 36 watt DiaLogue Premium actually drives the Vivids pretty well! It does not have the ultimate bass control of the solid state amps, but it does sound nicely dynamic and punchy, and importantly, emotionally totally convincing. The soundstage is very wide and timbre very natural, quite a bit more so than with the other amps. Ultimately there is not quite enough power to play loud transients in all their splendour, and things do get rounded off here and there when playing more demanding material. The Vivids are not the most difficult speakers out there but still, this is a rather surprising result, given the amp’s moderate power rating and very moderate price. Rather amazingly the Ref 75 SE had a harder time driving the Vivids, sounding more precise, but noticeably rounded off on louder dynamic peaks than the PrimaLuna. A nice, but equally ridiculous combination price-wise might be to use the more powerful PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP with the best Gold Label tubes with these speakers.”

“Stereophile’s Products of 2017 Amplification Component of the Year”

Geplaatst op 15/02/2018 door beheerder

We are extremely proud that our PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Poweramplifier was one of the “finalists” in the category “Stereophile’s Products of 2017 Amplification Component of the Year”. And guess what … we did NOT win and still have a “winner-feeling” 😀

The Boulder Amplifiers 2150 monoblock power amplifier ( $99,000/pair ) has been voted as the winner.

Notes on the Vote: The big Boulder outdistanced the runners-up by a relatively modest number of votes, second place being taken by the class-D Bel Canto e.One REF600M, which charmed both Kal Rubinson and Herb Reichert. But here’s the thing: third place was a four-way tie among three tubed products and one perhaps inspired by thermionic valves: respectively, the Audio Research Reference 6 preamplifier ( $ 14.000,- ), PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium power amplifier ( $ 2.199,-), Shindo Monbrison preamplifier ( $ 12.500,-), and Pass Labs INT-60 integrated amplifier ( $ 9.000,-)
