About this amp:
This PrimaLuna ProLogue power amp features:
• Hand-made construction with the finest point-to-point wiring, using workmanship that is equal to or better than any product you can buy at any price.
• A heavy gauge steel, fully vented chassis with a five coat finish. Each coat is hand-rubbed and polished.
• Premium parts: toroidal transformer for power supply; custom designed -in conjunction with one of the most prestigious transformer designers in the USA.
This includes encapsulated output transformers for lowest hum, wide bandwidth for great bass and extended highs, ceramic tube sockets, Nichicon and Solen capacitors, superfast Philips-diode-circuitry, gold-plated heavy duty WBT style speaker terminals and gold-plated panel mounted input jacks.
• SoftStart™ circuit for extended life of sensitive components, plus a reduced chance of tube failure from thermal shock.
• Adaptive AutoBias™ exclusive to PrimaLuna. This circuit monitors and smoothly adjusts bias constantly and instantly, reducing maintenance and increasing performance due to the dramatic reduction in distortion.
• Tube plate fuse to protect the amp output stage. Other amplifiers might need a trip to the shop if a tube fails; not this one – just plug in a new tube, fuse, and go.
