Great video! I have an old Antique Sound Lab (AQ 1001), and i am impressed by PrimaLuna: auto-bias, switching triode/ultralinear, remote, big transformers, point by point wiring,...
Had listened this weekend: marvelous.! Patricia Barber (Modern cool... so cool!)
My Antique is to sell!
Had to go at the Montreal show to ear better, to see the competition. Also, i had to compare by switching Prima to Antique when this one repaired (thanks to Filtronique, a good hifi store!).
Great video, really captures the essence of tubes. Good soundtrack too! I'm interested in buying a tube amp, but I must admit, your website sucks! If you click on products, there are no pictures, all I get is two options, "Prologue" and "Dialogue", how the heck do I know what I want?! When consumers are looking for a tube amp, they have a wattage in mind, a price in mind, and usually single ended verses push/pull-those should be the options laid out on one page, not all separate pages.

I think you went to the wrong website. PrimaLuna products are push-pull. Single-ended is cute, but can be pretty restricting because of lower power and higher price because there are fewer made, so the cost for engineering is spread out over a fewer number of units manufactured.
PrimaLuna amps use little or no negative feedback, and some are switchable to triode so you get power and bandwidth of push-pull with the sweetness of single-ended.

Hallo aus Deutschland,
ich hatte das Vergnügen einen Primaluna Verstärker zu hören.
Ich danke Gott und den Damen und Herren die Primaluna geschaffen haben.
Besser geht es nicht...Spass (Emotion)pur.
Ich glaube ich habe noch nie etwas vergleichbares gehört.
Ich wünsche allen Primaluna Mitarbeiter alles Gute
Macht weiter so

VTL has auto tube biasing since 2006. My MB-450 Series 1 amplifiers have it.

Jeepers. I'm blushing. I think I have to write the seven year story on the PrimaLuna brand and why it is the way it is. It is quite colorful to here.
We have dealers nowadays, but for somebody that doesn't have a dealer I can make their purchase seamless.
Anyway....I'm so glad you like your ProLogue amp. A note from a customer means as much as all the awards we've gotten. I'm grinning from ear to ear.

I purchased my PrimaLuna Prologue 2 from Kevin about 5 years ago. Great guy, great amp!
