Want the ultimate? For $400 more over the DiaLogue One, you will get an amplifier that has more power, better bass authority, and a little more air on top, but never edgy thanks to these specially equipped 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.
Like all PrimaLuna amplifiers, it boasts:
Soft-start circuit Extends component and tube life by powering up the amp gently every time you turn it on.
Tube plate fuse Protects the amplifier output stage.
Adaptive AutoBias. Exclusive to PrimaLuna, this circuit monitors and adjusts bias automatically. Improved performance and better sound, with distortion reduced by 40% to 50% over conventional designs. Plug in virtually any power tube. Adaptive AutoBias will automatically adjust itself! In addition to EL-34s, you can use 6550, KT88, KT90, 6L6GC, KT66, 7581, EL37, and any of their equivalents.
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 runs tubes easy for long life.
Next, we take the DiaLogue Two to new heights with:
Triode/Ultralinear switching. Allows you to switch how the power tubes operate on the fly.
True Home Theater pass thru. Unlike some integrated amps that use unity gain that can introduce unwanted noise and coloration, the DiaLogue One incorporates direct-line circuitry that completely bypasses the preamp section.
Heavy metal anodized aluminum remote control. Full function remote controls volume, source selection, and triode/ultralinear switching. To protect the finish of your wood furniture, the ends of the remote have rubber rings. Uncle Kevin insisted on this point after having several end tables ruined by heavy remotes scratching and dinging the finish.
Improved output transformers designed for wide-bandwidth and high efficiency. These heavy-duty transformers elicit incredible detail from top to bottom, lower the output impedance, and provide the amp with greater control over speakers with difficult loads.
For those of you who like to record through tubes, the DiaLogue One is outfitted with a tape output.
Output: 38 watts x 2 ultralinear, 21 x 2 triode Freq. Response: 10Hz-30kHz +/- .5dB THD: Less than 1% at full power S/N Ratio: 89dB Input Sensitivity: 270mV Power Consumption : 250 watts Dimensions: 15.2" x 8.3" x 16" (WxHxD) Weight: 63.8 lbs Inputs: 5 pair RCA / 1 pair HT bypass Outputs: 4 and 8 Ohm speaker taps / 1 pair RCA fixed tape output Tube Compliment: 2 - 12AX7, 2 - 12AU7, 4 - KT88

"The PrimaLuna was rich, engaging, deep, and liquid . . . here I was worried about the tube amp driving my horribly inefficient Aperion Intimus 5B’s. Ample volume was not a problem . . . I was mesmerized. Jaw dropped, eyes wide." - Rick Schmidt Secrets of Home Theater & Hi FidelityU.S.A
"I sat there transfixed...the soundstage was literally wall-to-wall...it has more dynamic explosiveness and midbass weight than any 38-watt integrated amplifier I have ever heard." - Jim Hannon The Absolute Sound U.S.A
"Regardless of tube or setting, the PrimaLuna possesses a rich yet natural midband . . . with detail that caresses every nuance" - Ken Kessler Hi-Fi News U.K
"Its dynamic contrasts are among the best I’ve encountered . . . its superb articulation and command of the frequency extremes is what puts it ahead of the competition." - Frank Alles Stereo Times U.S.A
Purchased this amp from Kevin nearly a year ago and I couldn't be happier. With my very sensitive horns they are dead quiet, dynamic with great tonal quality. The amp is a pleasure to use and the remote is top quality. My only question is, why can't they make these things lighter, it's a back breaker! Of course this is due to the high quality transformers used throughout the unit. The build quality appears to be second to none as well. Highly recommended!
