In a world of mass-produced audio equipment, PrimaLuna stands as a testament to traditional craftsmanship and innovative engineering. Their EVO series has earned worldwide acclaim for delivering exceptional valve sound without the typical maintenance concerns associated with valve amplification.
Craftsmanship and Quality
Each PrimaLuna component features handmade construction with a heavy-gauge steel chassis finished with five hand-rubbed and polished coats. The meticulous attention to detail extends throughout, with point-to-point wiring using Swiss silver wires—a level of craftsmanship typically reserved for significantly higher-priced equipment.
PrimaLuna designs incorporate custom-designed transformers, fully encapsulated for minimal hum and optimal isolation. This contributes to their signature sound: the magical midrange warmth of valves combined with crystalline highs and deep, authoritative bass.
User-Friendly Innovation
PrimaLuna's revolutionary Adaptive Auto Bias™ circuit operates outside the signal path, continuously monitoring and adjusting valve bias. This intelligent system reduces distortion and maintenance requirements while extending valve life. For valve enthusiasts, EVO amplifiers feature a high/low bias switch allowing easy optimisation for different valve types without technical adjustments.
Key features include:
- Power Transformer Protection circuit
- SoftStart smart circuit design
- Advanced output-stage protection circuitry
- Shielded phonostage box for optional PhonoLogue circuits
