Alongside our PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube Phono Preamplifier, the PrimaLuna EVO 400 Tube Preamplifier has also been included in Stereophile Magazine Recommended Components 2026 list.
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.
