Stereophile’s Recommended Components 2018

Geplaatst op 27/03/2018 door beheerder

Stereophile magazine has published their annual list of “Recommended Components”

We are thankful that two of our products are awarded as “Recommended Component 2018”

PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Poweramplifier

“Using the ProLogue Premium with his Falcon Acoustics LS3/5a minimonitors, HR found that it “made a tight, glorious, extremely communicative partnership—exactly as the LS3/5a forum folk said it would.” He also discovered that the PrimaLuna supplied “the most impactful bass I have yet heard from the KEF [LS50]” speakers, and that the ProLogue Premium driving the Zu Soul Supreme speakers created “a system that sounds as if it should cost at least $21,000, not less than $7000.”

 

 

 

 

 

PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Preamplifier

“The ProLogue Premium preamp impressed HR with its “feminine and seductive” sound. Herb observed that the owner of a properly set up ProLogue Premium preamp will enjoy “tangibly luminous presence in every recording you play. Punch and drive should be obvious. . . . Most of all, you should notice [its] liquid transparency.”

 

 

 

 

 

KISEKI PurpleHeart N.S.

And last but not least….As most of you all know our company, Durob Audio, is next to PrimaLuna also responsible for KISEKI phono cartridges. We are proud that our KISEKI PurpleHeart NS is awarded as “Recommended Component 2018”

Customer Review: PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Integrated Amplifier

Geplaatst op 22/03/2018 door beheerder

Good morning Kevin,

I received my PrimaLuna DiaLogue HP integrated amp last Thursday and have
been breaking it in. I had thought it would be good, but also thought that a
lot of the superlatives being thrown around would be hype…

I am SO glad that hype actually does not do this amp justice! Hooked up with
my Sonus faber Guarneri Memento speakers, I have never heard more unforced
detail, all while keeping the overall sound warm, rich and inviting. As I
only have about 100 hours on the unit, I am looking forward to further
break-in and improvements, even if they are subtle. This is one VERY
impressive amp.

I have also sent my ModWright KWI200 to you via UPS Ground. I will get you
the tracking number ASAP. I believe it should be there by the 6th. I hope it
will arrive in good condition.

Thanks for all the help.

Respectfully,
Kevin R. Torske

Customer Review: PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Poweramplifier

Geplaatst op 19/03/2018 door beheerder

Good morning Kevin,

I’ve had the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP amp burning in for a week now and it is amazing. It is combined with the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamp that you sold me last year.

I am using the 4-ohm connectors to drive Magico S3 and the HP has ample power even in Triode mode.  It defies logic that 40 wpc can drive the S3 and sound so good.  The S3 are power hungry speakers and all the reviews suggest at least 200W of SS power to get the best sound from them.  There is a highly regarded local audio store called Music Lovers and they told me that the S3 can’t be driven with tube amps. Period.  Waste of time to try it.  I called you the next day and bought the PL HP based on your advice and explanations.

Many years ago, there was an audio magazine reviewer who, as part of his evaluation, stood outside his listening room to see if the music sounded real from that vantage point. Over the years, I have done that whenever switching components.  This is the first time that it really does sound like people are singing in my listening room when I am in other parts of the house.  The Magico S3s are part of that equation but the PL are a big part of that equation too.

Mostly, I am tired of switching components in search of the perfect sound. I just want dependable equipment that will last for 20 years and concentrate on enjoying the music. PL delivers that for me.

PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Poweramplifier – Tube Rolling – KT150

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.
