davide256 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Purchased January 2012, with factory phono pre option. The 4 original pre-amp section tube film capacitors have been replaced with TFTF VCap’s. The unit works nicely, I am selling because I changed to solid state amp last year for my Magnepans. There is some wear on the unit, 2 nicks in the enamel next to the top of the tube cage and some small dings in the enameled edges next to the power tube sockets caused by power tube swapping. Link to Prima Luna's information on the amplifier https://www.primaluna-usa.com/prologue-premium-integrated/ Included in the sale are 4 original Prima Luna 12AU7 tubes- basically unused as I used my collection of NOS pre tubes 4 original Prima Luna EL 34 tubes – these have about 40 hours on them, I ordered KT-88’s the week I received the unit and stopped using these after receiving the KT88’s 4 used Gold Lion KT-88’s – these have several hundred hours on them. As far as I can tell from listening, these are still fine, after using for a year I moved on to KT120/150 power tubes Power cord, remote control, owner’s manual, and original packaging also included. This is an easy amplifier for tube swapping and the HT direct to amp input allows you a graceful upgrade path to separate pre-amp later. Price $1500 via Paypal plus shipping, no seller Paypal fees to buyer. Domestic US buyer preferred, Canada also a possibility. Pictures below, apologies for any glare in the pictures.

markiep Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 May I ask if you are implying that this integrated amplifier, though sweet, is not so suitable for Magnepans? Link to comment

I acquired some LS50's last year and was startled by how much faster and more extended their treble was with the Prima Luna. This lead me to go back and compare using a MC modded Hafler DH200... there the Magnepans sounded much superior/cleaner. So I suspect that the load of the planar tweeter panel isn't a good combination with Prima Luna amplifier design, some kind of undesired roll off effect. Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
markiep Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Thank you verymuch for the details. I am sure the amp is really great with well- compatible speakers like the LS50's. Link to comment

The 4 back power tube sockets have nicks along the enameled edge, with the 1 circled having the most. Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
davide256 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 per request, have taken some better pictures using a light tent . As per original posting there is some wear on the unit, 2 nicks in the enamel next to the top of the tube cage and some small dings in the enameled edges next to the power tube sockets caused by power tube swapping. In the course of taking more pictures I have also found two pinhead sized nicks on the back jack panel, 1 above the "input" label for the jacks, the other above the "AC input" tag above the power plug. Note that the first picture is best representative of finish appearance under normal lighting. The rest are angled and taken on black background to reduce reflections, creating more of a faux granite appearance Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
Denoxster Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 This looks much better than your original pictures. I'll take it for $1300 shipped, as I mentioned shipping shouldn't that expensive to NJ zip 07024. Please forward your Paypal information. Thank you. Link to comment
