Owner Review! PrimaLuna ProLogue Classic CD Player!

Geplaatst op 21/03/2024 door beheerder

Wow! In just a few days, you gave the message “Baby Come Back” a lot of attention and reactions. Thank you. This is highly appreciated!

In the post, we mentioned that we could make someone in the Netherlands happy with our PrimaLuna ProLogue Classic CD Player. Tom gave us permission to share his still-early experience with our ProLogue Classic CD Player with you. Of course, we are grateful for this and are happy to share his message with you.

Hi All,

I promised to give you guys some feedback:

Last night, I rebuilt and connected it…

At first, I was a bit disappointed because I did not really notice an improvement compared to my Creek player, and I missed, especially in the high regions of, e.g., classical piano, the sparkling clarity in specific passages that I could hear with my Creek. The “middle” sounded more or less the same, and in the “low,” I even found it a bit bonkers. But I was also not relaxed and tired.

Today, again, I listened to different types of music and other instruments and also experimented quite a bit with the position of the speakers.

Somehow, it also seems like the player and amplifier had to “get used” to each other, but after about 20 minutes, I find it amazing how spacious this combination is. After adjusting the bass potmeters (now -4 on the back of the Martin Logans), it is enjoying the wonderful balance! Over the entire range, from low to high, it stands like a house, and the stage has become twice as big in my living room: really very special. Even at a relatively low volume, the details keep flying around your ears: in short, fantastic!

Of course, one CD is not like another—especially in terms of recording technique, I mean—and you can regularly hear that some notes or instruments of the same instrument suddenly come “from the left” and just before that “from the right” in the orchestral setup, but the fact that the player registers this so well is special!

In short, I will sort and archive my entire CD archive again, enjoy it, and probably expand it again 🙂 !

By the way, this morning it was on the news that the CD is working on a “come-back” again, so I am all over the place again!

Thanks, good evening, and regards,

Tom

Baby Come Back!

Geplaatst op 15/03/2024 door beheerder

Baby Come Back!

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆, 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲. 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆, 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗼. 𝗢𝗵, 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲? 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆, 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗼 (𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁)

This well-known song by The Equals from 1967 became a worldwide hit. In the song there is regret and longing for an “ex-lover” to please come back. “Baby Come back”!

Two days ago, we were able to make a Dutch customer, who already owned a PrimaLuna amplifier, happy with our PrimaLuna ProLogue Classic CD player. This morning, we received a message that he was indeed very happy with his new PrimaLuna CD Player.

In the message, he also noticed that The News of this morning mentioned that the CD format is making a comeback! With the rise of digital playback, the demand for CDs decreased, and many people were writing them off. The demand for Vinyl decreased when CDs were introduced. It is nice to see that Vinyl made its comeback some time ago and that this is now also the case with CDs. With the comeback of the CD, there may also be a kind of regret and longing for the return of an ex-lover! “Baby, Come Back!”

Code Cracked?

Geplaatst op 08/03/2024 door beheerder

𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱?

Different manufacturers have been making Hybrid amplifiers with varying degrees of success for many years! The main reason is that there is demand from the market for a combination of tubes and solid-state. This could be because a tube enthusiast would still like to experience more power. Another reason could be someone who plays with a solid-state amplifier but is still curious about tubes or does not want to make the step to a full tube amplifier!

“This is the integrated amp I’ve been waiting decades for!”

Dick Olsher – The Absolute Sound

“Many have tried to combine tube sound with transistor power. But once a genuine tube brand took on the task, the result was a synergy unlike any other!”

Mats Meyer-Lie – Hifi & Musik

“PrimaLuna has done a better job combining tubes and transistors on one chassis than anything we’ve come across.”

Jeff Dorgay – TONEAudio

“We do not hesitate to repeat that the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid could be our only and last amplifier in our audiophile existence!”

Audio Lifestyle

Judging by the above comments from the “experts” and from owners who own an EVO 300 Hybrid, we hope to have succeeded in bringing to the market a hybrid amplifier that can delight many enthusiasts now and in the years to come. Below, you will find a comment from a proud EVO 300 Hybrid owner made after we shared the review of ABX-Audiophiles about our Hybrid Amplifier

“….. If the glowing praise in The Absolute Sound review didn’t really turn heads and help people understand how good this unit is, then I’m not sure what would. I am effusive in my praise of the EVO 300 Hybrid. It’s preaching to the choir, but I’ll go watch this video review just for fun. “Endgame” is spot on. I just don’t know how much more engineering you’d have to throw at this product and how much more it would have to retail for to get sound that’s any more perfectly balanced … perfectly balanced! I’d wager you’d have to be in the $25k+ range to find an amp that performs “better” than the EVO Hybrid (I say that and still would be surprised). I used to go to audio shows and listened to all the highest end gear shown and all of it was wonderful, but PL’s Hybrid is a stunning example of how good a company’s product can be when excellent choices are made, and a wonderfully engineered product is produced at a reasonable price. I think the Hybrid will go down in history as one of the best performance/price ratios; and a sonic giant killer for many times the price …..”

Have you already had the opportunity to experience our PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Amplifier?
