BAD TUBE INDICATOR
PrimaLuna engineers wanted to make
owning a tube amp so simple you would have no excuse not to have your tube
dreams come true.
If a tube fails, Adaptive AutoBias will instantly put the amplifier
into protection mode so no parts can get damaged. A red LED will light up in
front of the tube that needs replacing. (ProLogue Classic illuminates an LED on
the front panel.) Simply plug in another tube, and listen. No guesswork. No
smoking amp. No getting out the soldering iron or dropping your amp off at UPS.
CUSTOM TOROIDAL POWER TRANSFORMER
Power transformers
generate two types of noise, magnetic and acoustic. That's why toroidal power
transformers are used in the very best audio products. Compared to standard
transformers, toroids radiate about 1/10 the magnetic field that pollutes music
and obscures detail. Additionally, the absence of an air gap typically means
toroids have an 8:1 reduction of acoustic noise. As transformers are the most
expensive components in any audio product, manufacturers will even house cheaper
C-core and EI-core transformers in an outboard power supply box with an
umbilical cable rather than upgrade to an expensive toroid. The increased cost
is significant, but PrimaLuna doesn’t cut corners. All PrimaLuna products use
massive, potted toroidal transformers. PrimaLuna transformers are enclosed in a
metal housing and then potted in a non-microphonic resin to further reduce noise
and to protect the windings from moisture and deterioration forever.
CUSTOM SUPER-WIDE-BANDWIDTH OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS
Output
transformers are the most important part of any tube amp. They determine how low
the bass will reach and how high the top end goes. 250 watts of power will have
no top and bottom extension if the output transformers don't have the bandwidth.
We use lower power to extend tube life, and bandwidth to give you slam.
Transformers are the most expensive components in an amplifier, so manufacturers
save money by using ‘off the shelf’ units available on the market. PrimaLuna
output transformers are custom-designed, wound in-house, and massive. One reason
why no other brand sounds like a PrimaLuna. "The flat tops and bottoms of these
squarewaves correlate with the amplifier's extended low-frequency response;
PrimaLuna's output transformers are of excellent quality." -John Atkinson,
Stereophile Magazine
ADAPTIVE AUTOBIAS
What most
companies call Auto Bias is actually "Cathode Bias"- A commonly used method that
is cheap to make, and often found in guitar amps, but also $20,000 high end
audio amps. It reduces the available power of the amp and runs the tubes hard,
meaning shorter tube life and failures via "shorts".
PrimaLuna's Adaptive
AutoBias is a true, smart technology employing an array of sensors to monitor
tubes and make adjustments seamlessly in real time. More important, it is the
ONLY circuit of its kind that is truly "adaptive" by addressing "tube pinch off"
at higher volumes, therefore reducing distortion by over 50% and greatly
extending tube life. Adaptive AutoBias is completely passive and NOT in the
signal path. The result is low to no maintenance, long tube life, and the lowest
possible distortion for amazing sound.
Point to Point Wiring
You spend a lot of money on interconnects. So why have the signal go
right from the RCA jacks or speaker terminals into circuit boards with copper
traces so thin you can hardly see them? What’s high-end about that. PrimaLuna
employs Point to Point Wiring on all products. The entire signal path, including
resistors and capacitors, is painstakingly hand wired with heavy-gauge cable by
craftsman.
NO INTERNAL DAC / NO INTERNAL PHONOSTAGE
Never buy an integrated amp with an internal DAC. Why? Because digital changes,
and history shows that integrated amps with “old” digital become unwanted and
have almost no resale value.
Built in phonostages are “throw in” and are
rarely good quality because manufacturers assume 90% of buyers won’t use them.
The external phonostage market is very competitive. You can get something much
better for as little as $200, and buy one that actually meets your cartridges
needs and YOUR budget.
SMARTWATTS - EXTENDED TUBE LIFE
Tube life is simply a matter of how hard you run the tubes. That’s it.
The only way to extend tube life is to run them as close to zero as you possible
can, making sure it is not so low you go into crossover distortion. The life of
a tube will depend on two things: Plate and screen voltage.
If the plate
and screen voltage is high, you are more likely to get tube shorts when you turn
the amp on and you get cathode stripping which greatly effects the cathodes
ability to spit out electrons. Manufacturers that run the hell out of tubes to
pump up their power ratings will never tell you what voltages they use. They’ll
say it’s “proprietary” as if it’s some secret sauce. There is no such thing. But
if they told you that they used 575, 600, or even 625 volts you probably
wouldn’t buy. We proudly tell you our tubes run at just about 417 volts for the
plates and screens.
PrimaLuna runs their
output tubes at a minimum dissipation without going into crossover distortion.
When you look at our amps, they provide less power from each tube. With KT-120’s
as an example, a PrimaLuna will give you only 21 watts per tube. So running a
pair of them you get 42 watts. That’s a lot of power, but the demands per tube
are a fraction of some manufacturers that give you 100 watts from a pair of
KT-120’s. It’s a cheap way to get big power, and it’s cheap. In fact, free. To
get more power the right way is expensive. It requires bigger transformers,
sockets, wiring, resistors, capacitors, and the tubes to do it. Which is exactly
what PrimaLuna did. But we didn’t stop there.
Read this carefully: Power
has nothing to do with sound quality. Or bass slam. You can buy a 200 watt
receiver for $299, and it will even have surround sound. Do you think for a
minute it will sound better than a 50 or 100 watts high end amp costing $10,000?
Of course not. Only first-time buyers think that way. Experienced audiophiles
know that for the majority of listening sessions, you use maybe 10 watts of
power.
OUR AMPS ARE PERFECT. BUT YOUR SYSTEM MAY NOT BE
Ask any seasoned tube-head what the most musical output tube is and
they will most certainly declare it the EL34. Other amp manufacturers would love
to use it. Only PrimaLuna, through our proprietary output transformer designs,
can give you EL34 midrange beauty with top-end air that goes on forever. And,
bass extension with so much slam, our amps are used to power subwoofers.
However, every system is different. What if you bought a speaker with bass that
overloads the room? Or, that is too dark? Or, too bright? What if you just want
to have fun trying the different colors of sound from a vast pallet of tubes?
With other manufacturers' products, you're stuck. They're a one-trick pony. How
are you going to fine-tune your sound? Buy some different cables?!
With
PrimaLuna, you get to choose. Go for it. 6L6G, 6L6GC, 7581A, EL34, EL37, 6550,
KT66, KT77, KT88, KT90, KT120 (the EVO 100 is not KT150 compatible). A
future-proof design, PrimaLuna is compatible with NEW tube types not even
thought of today!
