PrimaLuna's first phono preamplifier (with 100% tube architecture), the PrimaLuna Phono Preamplifier is an electronic device that immediately attracts attention due to the elegant originality of its conception and engineering.
Taking as a starting point the search for control options and functionalities that are as specific as possible, in order to expand the range of potential buyers, the new PrimaLuna has been designed to provide a wide range of impedance, gain and capacitance adjustments, that allow you to achieve very high quality sound without entailing the slightest complexity in terms of handling.
Among the most significant technical features of the EVO Tube Phono Preamplifier, the first standout is an entirely manual construction, which combines a fully ventilated steel chassis finished in five layers with internal point-to-point wiring carried out entirely by hand.
Next, it is worth noting the use of components of the highest quality, which on the other hand is common in PrimaLuna: ceramic sockets for the vacuum tubes, Nichicon and DuRoch capacitors, rectification circuitry based on 5AR4 tubes, 12AX7 tubes for the MM stage and 6922 for the MC stage, gold-plated RCA connectors and powerful shielding in the most sensitive points.
