Prima Luna Prologue One EL34 integrated valve amp. Satin Silver finish, Line-level inputs.

I purchased this amp new in 2009. It had a grand total of 3 months of saturday morning listening before being packed away during major works on our house. It has remained in its box ever since as I went on my Naim journey :)

I reopened the box yesterday and ran the amp for a few hours without any problems and it sounded excellent. Treble is as articulate as you would expect from a valve amp with absolutely rock solid bass and spot-on timing.

Condition of the amp is mint (I consider it barely run-in). Comes with all original packaging and instructions. Full set of Prima Luna valves, plus a second set of new Svetlana EL34s.

The reviews of the Prologue One were universally excellent and it is a wonderful introduction to the world of valves. It is also a very practical option for someone wanting to give valves a go, thanks to its auto-biasing circuitry (so no need for voltage meters and manual adjustment - just turn on and enjoy).

Price is £675.

I will give preference to a buyer who can collect in person from Oxted, Surrey. The double-box packaging makes shipping an option, but the total weight is over 21kg, so a courier won't be cheap!

I can add photos, but essentially this amp looks like a brand new Prologue One.

Happy to answer any Qs from interested parties.

Just realised I need to include photos. This requires unboxing and daylight. Bear with!

Bump for this amazing amp

I've got one and can't recommend it enough - perfect for a first foray into valve amps

Swapping valves is a breeze and the autobiasing means you can experiment

I've got a quad of KT88s in mine and it sounds more precise - it gives you lots of options to tube roll with no hassle

Good price as well
