I continue to be amazed with the PL Dialogue Premium Integrated Amplifier. It easily outperforms the CJ Classic 2 SE preamp/McCormack DNA 125 combo it replaced. It is detailed, dynamic, palpable, and throws a huge 3 dimensional transparent soundstage. My only concern was if 36 watts would be enough to power the 88db Proac's in a 21x15 listening room. It easily provides all the power and loudness I need with loudness to spare, while providing all the tube glory and magic any audiophile could ask for. This is not a slow, overly ripe tube amp. It is extremely fast, detailed and dynamic, with wonderful shadings and nuances. I hear so much more emotion in singers voices and expression with instruments. I can't stop listening to it. This has to be one of the best high end audio values of all time! Highly recommended.

Keven recommended and I’m trilled. You will want to get great speakers (and they don’t have to cost a fortune) and run a sub. I use Revel 22’s speakers I found “used” with Revel Stands. I also use a Peachtree Audio DAC for my I pod/sonos and the DAC into the tube amp makes it all happen. (tried an iPod with and with out to hear the difference) For CD’s I use the Prima Luna CD player. No more Vinyl for me so I don’t know about that. Every night at dinner we have a concert and often will linger to listen. The system with the Prima Luna at the center of things sounds like ones costing many times more! Capiche?

I called Kevin to get some advice on tweaking my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M's. I had a very solid high end integrated amp that I have been happy with for several years. Kevin recommended the new Dialogue Premium integrated. After doing my research and becoming convinced that Prima luna is easy to maintain and very high quality...I took his advice and I couldn't be happier. Music is leaping out of my speakers. Vocals are warm and natural. The EL34's easily drive by 88db monitors as loud as I want to play. I can't see going back to Solid State....ever! Thank you, Uncle Kevy!!!
