Perfect condition Primaluna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. Three years old in rarely used dedicated 2 channel system. I'm the original owner. Estimate only about three thousand total hours. The unit is absolutely flawless with no scratches or wear. The only imperfection is some light scratches on the back of the remote (shown). Even have all the plastic protectors for the RCA jacks.

If you're seriously looking at buying a new $3900 Evo 300 pre, this could save you big dollars. I can find no parts differences in the listings. Same circuit design, same giant transformers, same 55 lbs, AC offset, capacitors, resistors, Alps motorized volume control, etc. I have no reservations saying this is one of the best preamplifiers ever built for Hifi and the reviews back that up. It looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous.

Included is the original Primaluna tube set. The entire set has less than 1000 hours so plenty of life left. Also included are four Brimar CV4003 Platinum grade tubes from Upscale. They have about 2000 hours on them, so should have at least half of their life left. They are fantastic tubes that I used in the first and second positions most of the time. Additionally, there are two Radiotechnique 12AU7s, also Platinum grade. They split duty in the first position with the Brimmars and are very detailed with a slightly more airy character.

Additionally, two new GE Military stock 12AU7s that I used mostly in the follower position, but I thought were absolutely gorgeous in the primary position. (this tube will go up dramatically in price and is worth stocking up on in my opinion, extremely quiet and liquidy smooth) Finally, a brand new pair of 5AR4 rectifiers from the Tubestore. These are Shuguang-made Preferred line and are a quality replacement for the scarce Primaluna rectifier tubes.

You have a good complement of tubes to experiment with. Obviously, I can't guarantee tube reliability, but the preamp has never had a tube go bad. Look up tubes on Upscale for value and description.

Unit is carefully packed in original triple box carton and ready to go. Shipping will include insurance for the full value and will be more than most components because of the weight. Pricing is fair considering market value, condition, usage, and additional tubes of about $700 in original cost. I'm replacing it with a PL integrated as we are downsizing and badly need the extra space.

Thanks for looking
