PrimaLuna

Prima Luna CES 2012
The CD player PrimaLuna has also tubes. They glow so nicely!

The first manufacturer that we meet is PrimaLuna. The brand is in the hands of Durob Audio. They introduce a new cd-player and amplifier. The ProLogue (cd-player: 3799 dollar) en DiaLogue Premium (amplifier: 3199 dollar). Nice products in which we can clearly see that it is hand work. The sound is extremely souple and stress loss. We like that!

De PrimaLuna cd-speler heeft ook buizen meegekregen. Ze gloeien zo schattig!

De eerste fabrikant die we aanschieten is PrimaLuna. Een merk dat in handen is van Durob Audio. Ze hebben een nieuwe cd-speler en versterker. De Prologue (cd-speler: 3799 dollar) en Dialogue Premium (versterker 3199 dollar).  Mooie producten waarbij nog goed zichtbaar is dat het handwerk is. De klank is uitermate soepel en stressloos. Daar houden we wel van.

Upscale Audio’s Kevin Deal is excited about PrimaLuna’s new DiaLogue Premium integrated amplifier ($3199), and I can’t blame him: The DiaLogue Premium uses six 12AU7 tubes, said to produce a wider bandwidth, greater dynamic range, and improved bass control over previous DiaLogue models; users can have fun swapping between 6L6GC/KT66, EL-34/KT77, 6550/KT88, and KT120 power tubes; a “Bad Tube Indicator” lets you know when a tube has expired and provides automatic bias adjustment; a high-quality Alps potentiometer should provide long-lasting, quiet volume control; and, like every PrimaLuna amp we’ve seen, the DiaLogue Premium is beautifully built and finished.

A look inside the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium integrated amplifier ($3199) reveals neat point-to-point wiring and high-quality parts, like Takman resistors and SRC tinfoil capacitors—stuff that an amp-lover like Art Dudley might appreciate.

Mirror, mirror on the wall … Who’s the fairest PrimaLuna of all? This DiaLogue Premium Integrated?

A few days ago, we received an email from Frank Burgers alias “Dinohyus Hollandi” on Flickr and other sites.

Frank has created a group about PrimaLuna op Flickr. If you know how to use Flickr and want to post a picture of your favourite PrimaLuna… then go ahead. The link is http://www.flickr.com/groups/primaluna.
