    Default Finally ventured across the border

    So as many of you know i've been waiting to get my new Primaluna Evo400 integrated for a while now, i ordered it just before the pandemic lock down and i bought it from Hifi Corner up in Edinburgh, who by the way were fantastic and i'd highly recommend them, problem is i'm in Corley in Lancashire, now i didn't fancy getting it posted so my only course of action was to sit tight and wait.

    Anyway i decided yesterday that i should be ok doing the trip my biggest concern being stopped by the Scottish Rozzers, given a big fine and been told to turn round and head south, so thankfully none of that happened and it's finally plugged in, so here's a few photos, i need to sort out it's final resting place and tidy up the cables but what an amp and it should get better once run in, my only gripe was given that it cost the best part of £4K i would have expected to get some user documentation and some batteries for the remote control, but apart from that i couldn't be happier.

    nearly gave myself a hernia getting it into my man cave in the basement, it’s the best part of 40kg

    Parallel push pull?

    Must chuck out a few watts. :-)

    New version of the one I tried Ali when I bought the power amp, great amps, and great for tube rolling right up to KT150's

    Think it kicks out 75wpc into 8 ohms in ultra linear and about 35wpc in triode

    Sorry guys I’m wrong it’s not 75wpc it’s only 70wpc. It does partner the Kralks very well which I’m very happy about, the gut wrenching bass is still present in spades but it’s the difference it has in the mid and high frequencies that most impressed me, voices seem even more lifelike with an almost 3D quality and the clinical sound that you get with SS amps when you crank the volume up is gone. The good part is it’s not even run in yet so it’s just going to get better. One more thing I didn’t order mine with the extra built in phono stage but it has it anyway I think it was a few hundred ££ option, so I’m looking forward to giving it a run too, just to see if it’s anywhere near as good as the rest of the amp

    It won't have the phono stage unless added,
    that's just a blank for it on the rear.

    £250 or so but if it's the same as the previous versions then it'll be crap as reported many times about the previous add in board for the Dialogue Premium range.

    You'll be missing nothing

    Well it has the phono connectors and earth connector so i'm guessing they are connected to something, i'll take a pic when i have a minute so you can see what i mean. Regarding the facebook page, i'm already a member, but thanks for the advice
