Step Into Sound: Spotify’s London Listening Lounge Featuring PrimaLuna EVO Series
London, UK — Spotify has unveiled its new Listening Lounge in London, a space designed for focused, immersive music listening. With refined acoustics and a calm, distraction-free setting, sound truly takes center stage.
At the core is a bespoke system by Friendly Pressure, with interior design by Cake Architecture. The setup brings together high-end audio brands, featuring PrimaLuna’s EVO 400 Tube Preamplifier and EVO 100 Tube DAC, paired with Bryston amplification and a Bluesound Node streamer, driving custom horn loudspeakers.
This carefully curated system blends digital precision with analog warmth, delivering a listening experience that is both technically refined and deeply engaging.
The Listening Lounge reflects a broader shift toward more intentional music listening—highlighting the growing importance of high-fidelity sound in the streaming era.
With this initiative, Spotify sets a new benchmark for immersive streaming, where innovation and tradition come together.
Media attending the opening included What Hi-Fi?, which wrote: “It’s an impressive sound system in its aesthetic, scope and ambition. Spotify Lossless may not be the audiophile’s prime choice of streaming service – we’ve found its rivals to simply sound better and offer greater hi-res quality – but there’s no denying it has a huge following in our streaming-dominant world”.
“And it is great to see such a mainstream company leveraging its 24-bit streaming tech to create a dedicated listening space that puts a separates, two-channel hi-fi system firmly in the spotlight. For those “top fans” lucky enough to get golden tickets to enjoy their favourite artists (provided you’re in London, of course) in this listening space, we imagine the experience will feel pretty special”.

For several consecutive years, the EVO 400 Tube Preamplifier has earned a place on this prestigious list. Stereophile had the following to say about our EVO 400:
“PrimaLuna’s brand-new flagship line-level preamp—it replaces the company’s Dialogue Premium—the EVO 400 uses tubes for rectification as well as for gain and buffer stages, and includes input and output transformers that allow balanced operation. Noting that its extraordinary weight (52.8 lb) comes not from its steel chassis but from its abundance of power-supply transformers and chokes, HR praised the EVO 400’s high parts quality and its ‘scintillating’ presentation, as well as its ability to portray vivid, well-saturated musical colors while nevertheless being ‘more concise-sounding’ than its predecessor. ‘It generated clearer, more muscular presentations with sharper focus and more distinctly punctuated moments.’”
Naturally, we are proud and grateful that our EVO 400 Tube Preamplifier has once again been recognized by Stereophile this year.
The latest issue of Stereophile magazine has just been released, featuring the highly anticipated Recommended Components 2026 list.
We are incredibly proud and grateful to see several of our products included in this prestigious selection. Over the coming days, we’ll be sharing each of the products that have received a Recommended Component Award 2026.
The EVO 100 features dual-mono 5AR4 tube rectification; dual-mono choke-input EL34-regulated power supplies; two 12AX7 twin triodes per channel for the RIAA stage; and one 6922 twin triode per channel for its moving-coil stage, which sits in its own shielded, cushioned box. The gain choices are 40dB for MM, 52, 56, and 60dB for MC, and there are five MC loading choices—50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 ohms. PrimaLuna distributor Kevin Deal warns that the EVO needs three days powered on to sound its best, following which HR commented that the PrimaLuna “completely eliminated the EMT JSD 6’s tendency to sound tight and analytical, giving me instead a cartridge-phono stage combination that was both lush and heart-pounding fun.”
HR subsequently compared the EVO 100 with the MoFi MasterPhono, noting that with the PrimaLuna, he preferred the Denon DL-103 with a very heavy, 50 ohm load rather than the much higher impedances he liked with the MasterPhono. When HR auditioned the EVO 100, he found that it was “the quietest one I’d heard, ever.” Following 100 hours of warm-up, HR wrote that the music “pulsed and shimmered on a huge soundstage and had an airy, luminous character I associate with great tube circuits.” He then replaced one pair of the 12AX7s with early-1960s RCAs and the stock 6922s with Amperex Bugle Boys. “While this substitution made the EVO 100 slightly noisier,” he wrote, “it also got rid of the glassiness and, tonally speaking, thickened the sauce.”
In late 2025, the EVO 100 received parts upgrades and circuit tweaks—free of charge to owners, other than shipping, if the customer bought their EVO 100 at a dealer. The first and biggest thing HR noticed about the upgrade was deeper, leaner, more natural bass. He subsequently found that the new EVO sounded “prettier and peppier and maybe danced better than before.” “The more I used it the more it seemed the upgraded EVO 100 had become slightly less visible, more invisible, if that is possible,” he decided.
