Noel Keywood of HiFi World magazine has reviewed our PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier in combination with our PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Poweramplifier.
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

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 driveMagicoS3 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
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.
