We are happy and proud that we can annouce that Simplyhighend.ch has become the EXCLUSIVE distributor for PrimaLuna in Switzerland. We are looking forward to our collaboration!

Below you find the introduction of Simply High-End by Michael and Thomas Kraske.

I founded Simplyhighend.ch in 2015 with the goal to import and represent High-End audio equipment for the Swiss market. Together with my brother Thomas we represents some selected brands and supplie a network of highly qualified Hi-Fi dealers in Switzerland.

But the history of our business goes way back and was founded by our father. Over the years we represented a couple of well known brands like CELLO (by Mark Levinson), Musical Fidelity, TDL loudspeakers, the legendary turntables from Max Townshend or hand-made tube amplifiers from Brocksieper. We are also responsible for Credo Audio Switzerland.

Simply High-End stands for our Philosophie – highest quality products with a high value for our customers that are simple and elegant. Amplifiers running on software with non-durable interfaces or brands with a constantly changing product line-up are not our world.

Michael and Thomas Kraske

They grew up with high-end audio. As a child Michael was extremely fascinated by his father’s business and spent every spare minute in the workshop, in the showroom, or production. As a kid he began to experiment with loudspeakers and hi-fi gear. Later as a teenager he realized some first loudspeakers designs and modifications.

But his first passion was producing and recording music! Which then led him to work in the recording studio. Soon his knowledge of acoustics, monitor-speakers, preamplifiers, filters, etc., was quite in demand. This and the passion for high-end gear then led to the work as a consultant and designer for loudspeakers and acoustics.

Thomas was less fascinated by the technical details and more interested in the results – watching movies and listening to music. As a Teenager he discovered the world of fine-dining and was fascinated by the world of gastronomy. He learned from the best in our region and after several years and a few different restaurants he became a Chef in the finest hotel in Basel.

Today the two brothers join their forces and step-by-step take over their father’s Hi-Fi business. Their goal is to become a reliable partner and provider for the Hi-Fi industry. Together with a qualified dealer-network they offer finest audio-gear for music-lovers and high-end enthusiasts.

“Our ultimate goal is to select the best components and design audio-systems in uncompromising quality. Only then, listening to your music or watching a movie will be a breathtaking experience. And this is, what you should expect from a state-of-the-art system, a breathtaking experience.”

 Michael Kraske

A Marvel from PrimaLuna by Jeff Dorgay – ToneAudio magazine!

Posted on 04/08/2016 by beheerder

PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Integrated Amplifier In the latest issue ( No 77 ) of ToneAudio magazine Jeff Dorgay has tested our PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Integrated Amplifier for months at his home. After the review Kevin Deal from Upscale Audio & PrimaLuna USA received the following request from Jeff.

Hi Kevin: You know my respect for PrimaLuna goes way back. Back to the first ProLogue Integrated, and in the course of TONE Audio’s 12 year history, we’ve reviewed nearly every model – all great, but you guys have really outdone yourselves with the HP integrated. I’d really like to purchase the review sample to be used as a permanent reference component here. It’s fantastic! This is one of the loveliest integrated amplifiers I’ve had the pleasure to use. Sounds great, looks great, drives any speaker I can throw at it. And knowing that the original ProLogue One I bought from you before I even started TONE is still running daily without any issues, I know this baby will outlive me!

Thanks for sending it my way…

Many thanks to Jeff Dorgay of ToneAudio & Kevin Deal from Upscale Audio.

Help! My remote-control is out of control…

Posted on 03/08/2016 by beheerder

Remote PrimaLuna And, of course,  always at the wrong moment:-).

If your remote control doesn’t function anymore, it is probably a matter of changing the batteries with good quality, the same type of batteries. Sometimes that doesn’t work, and you need to investigate a little more, so:

  1. Check the batteries in use; if you notice any proof of leakage (wet or dry), forget these batteries.
  2. Check the battery contacts in the remote and clean them if you feel/see that this is necessary. Also, using contact-cleaner, contact-enhancer is a good idea.
  3. If new, good-quality batteries make the remote function again, you are done!
  4. If the remote with cleaned contacts ánd fresh full batteries still does not function, it might be that the remote is really broken. How to test? Just do like you want to take a picture of the eye of your remote, and on the screen of your digital camera, you will see the LED light up (if the remote functions) once you press a button on the remote. If the remote is broken, you won’t see the LED in the picture.
  5. If you do see the LED light up in the picture, but your equipment does not react, then it might be that the carrier of the signal is active, but the necessary signal isn’t. And worse, if the receiver is broken, the only thing you can do is bring the equipment to your specialist dealer.
  6. And … last but not least … never use chargeable batteries in your remotes.

Hope this info from Durob’s service department by Michiel is of help for you and can save you some time, money, and travel!

What happens in The WareHouse, should not stay in The WareHouse!

EAT PrimaLuna KT 88 tubes

As you all know PrimaLuna offers products that allow you to “play” different types of tubes! EL34, KT88, KT120, KT150. Different brands. Each with their own sonic character. And you can do that without the need of re-biasing, as we have our exclusive PrimaLuna Adaptive Auto Bias circuit doing that for you.

The KT88 tube is one of the highly “praised” tubes that stole the heart of many tube-lovers around the world. In cooperation with EAT we once created a special KT88 tube. The EAT PrimaLuna KT88 tube.

EAT is considered by a number of audiophiles to make the best tubes! They SHOULD be the best considering the price.

For registered PrimaLuna owners we would like to offer a set (4 tubes) of EAT/PrimaLuna KT88 tubes for a special price. The normal set price for the EAT/PrimaLuna is € 1525 per 4 pieces. You can now get them for a mere € 950. Please be aware we have limited stock of EAT/PrimaLuna sets available. Once these are gone, these won’t be available anymore. The KT88 tubes can be used in all PrimaLuna models and come of course with the PrimaLuna logo. PS If you have not registered your PrimaLuna product yet, or are not sure about it, you still can. Go here: www.primaluna.nl/support1.htm.

If interested, please send us a message at primaluna@primaluna.nl
