PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium Pre & Power- Amplifier- Set EL34

MORE POWER, NOT MORE HASSLES

All PrimaLuna's have incredible slam because of bandwidth. Power is secondary, and can in fact be bad news for unwary customers. But for customers with speakers that are medium efficient with 86dB or lower, that have larger rooms and play at higher volumes, they may need more power. 

The cheap way to get more power from a tube amp is to raise the tube's plate and screen voltage, and bias them harder. It costs nothing to do so as a manufacturer, but we refuse to follow the pack. You will see claims of as high as 100 watts from a pair of KT120's. Initially, the customer is happy. But talk to the same customer in a year when his tubes are worn out. PrimaLuna amps are famous for long tube life, running cool, and being absolutely the easiest amplifier to own. 

The best way to add power and keep running cool is an bigger build. We increased the size of the power transformer, added all the supporting circuitry including tube sockets, Swiss silver-plated OFC wiring, Takman resistors, SCR Tinfoil caps and a the Adaptive AutoBias board.

ProLogue Premium Preamplifier

At PrimaLuna they believe in superior engineering and superior parts. That is why they use Swiss-made silver-plated OFC wiring, Mundorf capacitors from Germany, and from Japan, Takman resistors, Nichicon capacitors, Fujitsu relays, and Alps volume controls. Parts well-known for their superior sound quality; quite literally, the best of the best.

SMARTGAIN DESIGN

A preamplifier is typically not required to add a lot or even any gain to your system. It is usually lowering gain from the source you are listening to. The number one complaint from audiophiles about preamp performance is noise. So why is it that so many manufacturers design preamps with 20 to 27dB of gain? And you wonder why there is "hiss", and why tubes go noisy or microphonic? PrimaLuna preamps use SmartGain. With a gain specification of only 12dB, you will find your PrimaLuna preamp is as quiet as a church mouse. High efficiency speaker owner's rejoice!
