“PrimaLuna’s latest dual-triode phonostage accepts both mm and low-output mc cartridges. “It’s an absolutely fabulous tube extravaganza. Not only are both gain stages tube based; they also add tube rectification and tube regulation via a pair of EL34 pentodes, giving you have a unique circuit solution. The EVO 100 uses active inverse RIAA EQ based on feedback loops, emulating such classics as the Marantz 7 and Audio Research SP3a. System matching is super easy via front-panel selectable mc-input impedance settings. For those of us addicted to tube sound, the EVO 100 is a godsend. It serves up a luscious midrange without losing sight of detail resolution, as well as image focus and 3D soundstaging—the gear’s traditional strength. This superlative phonostage elevates the vinyl playback experience to new heights. It has magnified DO’s enjoyment to the point where he just can’t stop spinning vinyl. Truly a sonic masterpiece. DO, 344”
