I purchased this amplifier in July/2015 from Kevin Deal the
PrimaLuna distributor located in California. The amplifier is in
excellent condition and performs flawlessly. No scratches, dents. The sound is to be expected
from a PrimaLuna piece. Rich, warm, smooth. This amp is a nice step up
from the predecessor Prologue one. EL34 or KT88 tubes can be used in this unit. Included is the amp, manual, power cord,
tube cage, tubes and factory box.
** Visa, Mastercard, Discover AMEX payments acepted ** Payment must be
made within 3 days of sale. Please be
prepared to pay or do not commit to buy. Item will be well packed and
double boxed for shipment.
Want the ultimate?
Classic Ultralinear all-tube sound, with all the body and glory that
you could ask for. For an additional $250 over the EL-34 equipped Prologue One, you will get an amplifier that has more power, better bass authority, and a little more air on top, but never edgy.
In addition, the ProLogue Two comes specially equipped with the following upgrades:
-
Upgraded Solen capacitors made in France. The result is an even better midband and wonderful clarity. -
Fast Recovery Diodes. Resulting in increased definition and detail, especially when the music becomes complex. -
KT88 Output Tubes.
We use the current production copy of the legendary Genalex KT88. The
tube sounds wonderful, with tremendous body and punch, while still
giving you the warmth and humanity from an all-tube amplifier.
Like all ProLogue amplifiers, it boasts:
Soft-start circuit Extends component and tube life by powering up gently every time you turn it on.
Tube plate fuse Protects
the amplifier output stage. Other amps may need a trip to the shop if a
tube fails. Not this one. Just plug in a new tube and fuse, and go.
Adaptive AutoBias.
Exclusive to PrimaLuna, this circuit monitors and adjusts bias
automatically. Each power tube is monitored to stay in a peak operating
range. Improved performance and better sound, with distortion reduced by
40 to 50 percent over conventional designs. No need for matched tubes. No bias adjustments. Ever. It also allows you to experiment with different power tubes. Plug in virtually any power tube.
Adaptive AutoBias will automatically adjust itself! In addition to
KT88s, you can use 6550, KT90, EL-34, KT77, 6CA7, 6L6GC, KT66, 7581,
EL37, and any of their equivalents.
Custom designed output transformers
Encapsulated low hum, wide bandwidth for great bass and extended highs.
Designed by Marcel Croese and one of the most prestigious transformer
designers in the USA.
Premium parts. Fully
vented chassis, chassis-mounted ceramic tube sockets, Alps
potentiometer, Nichicon and Solen capacitors. WBT style speaker
terminals. Gold plated input jacks.
Hand made with the finest point to point wiring, with workmanship equal to or better than any product you can buy at any price, period.
Chassis made of finely finished heavy gauge steel, and five step automotive quality finish. Each coat hand rubbed and polished. Removable tube cage included no charge.
Toroidal power transformer for low hum, and a front end that is dead quiet.
Conservative design parameters: Though PrimaLuna amplifiers are powerful, tubes run well below their maximum ratings.
