Performance, Flexibility, and Build Quality That Showcases the Music of Your Favorite Artists in Natural, Rich Sound: PrimaLuna EVO 200 Tube Preamplifier Features Six Tubes and Dual-Mono Topology
New to the world of tubes — or considering getting back into the hobby? Prepare to be amazed by the PrimaLuna EVO 200 tube preamplifier. Offering a level of build quality, performance, and versatility that takes on all comers in its price class, this high-value design counts dual toroidal transformers, tube rectification, and an analog volume control among its impressive advantages. Home-theater pass-through, four pairs of RCA inputs, two pairs of RCA outputs, a stereo tape out, and a mobile-friendly 39.6-pound weight give you flexibility.
Equipped with four 12AU7 and two 5AR4 tubes, EVO 200 features dual mono topology — meaning it has two of practically everything that matters since it houses two discrete preamplifiers in one chassis. Combined with its rectified status, EVO 200 delivers music with a kind of three-dimensional imaging, low-noise presentation, and natural texture that optimally showcases the timeless work of the world’s finest artists and producers. SmartGain and PerfectMatch — the former involving gain set to just 10dB for exceptionally silent operation, the latter a circuit that presents an ideal 100K ohm impedance to your source components for seamless coherency — further give EVO 200 sonic-based advantages.
Inside EVO 200, two toroidal transformers are enclosed in a metal housing and potted in a non-microphonic resin to future reduce noise and protect the windings from deterioration. This solution far out-performs C- and EI-core types in outboard power supply boxes. Point-to-point wiring throughout the entire signal path, ultra-quiet sealed relay inputs, and the lack of any internal DAC or phonostage to prevent added interference further check the audiophile boxes.
An ALPS blue velvet potentiometer, slim remote control, and three-year manufacturer warranty round out an 8.1 x 14.1 x 15.9-inch (HWD) component that invites you to experience the warmth, musicality, and fullness of tube sound for a cost that makes the high-end extremely within reach.
