The standard joke of Kevin (our distributor) is “lift it up first”. Not that the weight means sound quality, but it gives an impressive impression. Certainly with the DiaLogue Premium Integrated Amplifier. The “little one” of the two could not lift it up! We were laughing loud, lucky us, him too.

The listening session -with the Amati futura- did not last long, maximum half an hour (I guess). But one said to be “flabbergasted” and the other one that he was listening to an amplifier around US$ 7000. Well, a good feeling.

In the next post, I want to describe and explain the features of the new PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Integrated Amplifier.
