Experience the Differences of Sensible Engineering and Uncompromising Parts: PrinaLuna EVO 100 Integrated Tube Amplifier Plays with Slam and Airiness, Offers Uncommon Reliability and Purity

What makes the critically acclaimed PrimaLuna EVO 100 integrated tube amplifier different from other valve components? Start with the large toroidal transformers enclosed in metal housing and potted in a non-microphonic resin to future reduce noise and protect the windings from deterioration, a solution that far out-performs C- and EI-core types in outboard power supply boxes. Then continue with the custom-made super-wide-bandwidth output transformers, the most important (and expensive) part of any tube amp. Wound in-house and beefy in size, they ensure long tube life and contribute the desired “slam” any high-end system needs to reproduce music with convincing authority and presence. Point-to-point wiring throughout the entire signal path, ultra-quiet sealed relay inputs, bad-tube indicator LED lights, and the lack of any internal DAC or phonostage to prevent unnecessary complexity further check the audiophile boxes. 

Outputting a robust 40Wpc (into eight ohms) and equipped with four pairs of stereo inputs, the 39.6-pound EVO 100 also features Adaptive AutoBias — a smart, completely passive technology that employs sensors to monitor your tubes and makes adjustments in real time. Since it addresses “tube pinch off” at high volumes, it reduces distortion by a figure of more than 50 percent. Just as importantly, EVO 100 runs its output tubes at a minimum dissipation without veering into crossover distortion.

Wait, you might be thinking. That means the amp provides less power from each tube. Correct. But then again, big power numbers never automatically correlate with stellar sonics. By leveraging the strength of big transformers as well as high-grade sockets, wiring, resistors, and capacitors, EVO 100 supplies power that is pure and clean, and which leads to gorgeous midranges, controlled low-end passages, and airy, extended highs. 

Another advantage of EVO 100? You can roll tubes as much as you please. Go ahead. Take your pick. Fine-tune for days and days. EVO 100 is compatible with 6L6G, 6L6GC, 7581A, EL34, EL37, 6550, KT66, KT77, KT88, KT90, and KT120 tubes. Moreover, because EVO 100 runs tubes at about 417 volts for plates and screens, you can rest assured your tubes will last a long time — a helluva lot longer than in competing designs. Complete with an ALPS blue velvet potentiometer, transformer-coupled headphone amplifier, and slim remote control, the 7.5 x 11 x 15.9-inch (HWD) EVO 100 invites you to experience the warmth, musicality, and fullness of tube sound like you may never have imagined accessible at this cost. A three-year manufacturer warranty and our Satisfaction Guarantee give you added security.
