PrimaLuna EVO 300 - Tube Preamplifier

Immerse yourself in a world where music not only sounds superbly intoxicating, but surfaces from a silence so profound, you'll be questioning how it's even possible. Introducing the PrimaLuna EVO 300, a tube preamplifier that sublimates audio performance into an all-enveloping, captivating experience. Innovation, precision, and a desire to perfect the unimpeachable quality of sound proudly lie at this product's core. Origins are unmistakably rendered in the PrimaLuna custom-wound gigantic toroidal power transformers, meticulously designed to be low in hum and electromagnetic interference. Add to this the unique AC Offset Killer - a feature that plunges transformer noise to depths others only dream of - and you get a remarkably quiet audio backdrop, allowing a heightened sense of space and texture. Presence. The resonance of an acoustic guitar or violin string, suspending in the air, stretching into infinite delicacy and authenticity. This is the gift of the AC Offset Killer, a feature set to astound you as it unfolds the secrets of your favourite tracks. Advance into the audio realm even further with dual toroidal power transformers and tube rectification. The former, known to emit about a tenth of the magnetic field that standard transformers do, creates an uncannily 3D soundscape that seems to float in the ether around you. These transformers are neatly encased in metal, then potted in a non-microphonic resin, silencing noise and preserving their condition. The latter process, meanwhile, further purifies the sound, offering a meditative backdrop to every beat. The EVO 300 is the very embodiment of unrestrained sophistication and attention to detail - from its hand-wired, point-to-point internal wiring to the use of Takman resistors and Japanese Alps Blue Velvet potentiometer, all tailored to bleeding-edge noise elimination and musicality. Among the gems it all harbours, one of the EVO 300's most significant benefits is its dual-mono design, rarely found outside of the highest echelons of audio equipment. This feature allows you to build two disparate, yet equally sublime preamps into one box, creating an atmospheric, ethereal soundscape whose scale seamlessly swells into infinity. Dare to dive into an audio experience enriched by PrimaLuna's unique PerfectMatch feature, specifically designed to present an optimum 100K ohm impedance to your source components. The EVO 300 has been engineered down to a molecular level to present your music with a detail, fervor, and clarity that provides an incomparable audio experience. It's time to redefine your perception of high-end sound with the PrimaLuna EVO 300 - Tube Preamplifier; it's not just about hearing the music, but about feeling it too.

  4. Tube Rectification: Tube rectification presents the most natural, vibrant, and textured sound - offering an auditory experience likened to a live performance.

  6. SuperQuiet Line Inputs: Our inputs use premium quality sealed relays instead of conventional switches, cutting down on noise and signal leakage.

  7. Point to Point Wiring: Hand-wired with precision, creating a luxurious signal path that brings the true essence of music to life.

  8. Dual-Mono Design: This expensive and refined design provides an unmatched level of stereo imaging and an impressive, expansive sense of space.

  9. SmartGain Design: With a gain specification of only 10dB, your PrimaLuna preamp ensures minimal noise, so even minor imperfections in your tubes would go unnoticed.

  10. PerfectMatch: This exclusive PrimaLuna feature presents a perfect 100K ohm impedance to your source components, ensuring optimum performance at all times.

  11. Dialogue Front-End Circuitry: Increased bandwidth and even lower distortion are the merits of this high-performance circuitry, delivering clear and powerful audio.

He invested a considerable amount on PS Audio pre-amp and monoblocks streaming music through a Terminator DAC. This motivated me to buy these speakers once I retired and a month ago they arrived. Having seen them before, I was not surprised by the size of the boxes that were delivered and I was impressed with the packing and foam bracing that insured they arrived in perfect shape. The walnut piano finish makes them look special and I think that most people need to be visually impressed by a purchase of this expense (almost $15K), even before they are located in your listening room and connected. Now my stereo system is in no way as impressive, constituting a Willsenton R8 Tube amplifier, an Eversolo DAC Z8 fed off a Denon DVD A11 SACD/CD player which by itself until now, had been my 2nd largest audio purchase at just over $4K back in 2004. I'd purchased a NAIM Superuniti streamer, DAC, integrated amplifier for over $4,400, but it resides in the lounge room feeding a pair of Dynaudio Contour 30 speakers that up until now had been my favourite speakers. My wife and I had previously invested more into our Home Theatre set-ups with Yamaha Aventage C5100 preamp and M5000 amplifier (purchased secondhand) with an OPPO 4K Blu Ray player in one room feeding B&W 804 D3 front speakers, a B&W Centre and CCM683 Atmos ceiling speakers with Dynaudio SR rear speakers in the Theater/Listening room. In the Lounge room we have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A3080 AV Receiver fed off an OPPO Blu Ray player with the B&W 700 D2 front speakers, Richter Centre and Rear speakers with a Richter ODIN subwoofer. While I love the Elysian 4 speakers, I can't help but think I need a more powerful Integrated Amp to bring out the best in them. Any suggestions?

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!
