PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Integrated Amplifier Ex Demo, RRP £2,498 Boxed

  

Some small marks to the finish (see final two photos) - otherwise condition is like new. I can only summarize my findings after listening to it in various set-ups. In short: if I didnt own the great Audia Flight amplifiers, the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium would be on top of my most wanted list. I have owned PrimaLuna products in the past and several friends have been PrimaLuna owners for years now, so I know how reliable they are and how many measures have been taken to optimize the lifespan of the valves.

Up to now this is the finest PL integrated amplifier I have had the pleasure to assess. Its recommended for every type of music be it jazz, pop or classical.

Whether its a Big Band, a pop artist or a soloist accompanied by a large orchestra, the DiaLogue Premium reproduces it effortlessly. This amplifier is simply a hit. Output: 32 Watts x 2 with EL34 (43 Watts x 2 with KT120) Input Sensitivity: 229mV (EL34) Power Consumption: 255 Watts Dimensions WxHxD: 365 x 202 x 390mm (14.4 x 8 x 15.4 inches) Weight: 22.5kg (49.5 lbs) Inputs: 5 pair RCA / 1 pair HT bypass Outputs: 4 and 8 Ohm speaker taps Tube Compliment: 6x 12AU7, 4x EL34. An excellent review can be found at hifi-advice.

The following is the conclusion of such review. Normally the header reads: review sample supplied by. If not, then the component under review is either my personal property or that of a friend. And Im glad that I did! While no true substitute for the Audio Research Reference 75 SE, due to its wide speaker compatibility, I would actually rate it almost as highly.

Even though the PrimaLuna tube configuration is similar to the Audio Research (Push-Pull, Ultralinear), the amps have quite a different sound. All that said, the DiaLogue Premium should really be judged on its own while keeping in mind that lots can still be altered by swapping driver tubes or power tubes. Even in its basic form with standard EL34 tubes, the DiaLogue Premium sounds very robust, large, lively and open, and very dynamic. And quite uniquely, it combines all this power and stability with a smooth and richly colorful sound. 58 47 33 - 34.
