The EL34 is the king in my home. Looks like this Prima Luna takes good care of them too.
Jerome.......You know it would be my pleasure to do just that.

Dan, I have read reviews of this amplifier before.

In my native language, Dutch, of course as it is a Dutch brand, and in English.
None of them drew my attention, and piqued my curiosity, like your review did.
I think the least they can do now is let you keep this little gem!

Terrific review, Dan. Much appreciated. And what a pleasure to hear from somebody with a McIntosh background and system extol the beauty, greatness, superb quality and just plain insane bang for the buck that Prima Luna offers. I could not be happier with my own DiaLogue One. Glad I wasn't imagining things. Frankly, this amp rivals others costing at least 3 times the price, and I have never heard a single system that included a Prima Luna component (be it an amp, pre-amp or even their CD player) that sounded anything other than involving and musical.

Again, nice review!

Bart.......Thank you so much for your kind words. The ProLogue Premium is already boxed back up and waiting on UPS to get it back to the distributor. Were they to make that offer I would take them up on it.

Esteban.......No, you are not imagining things. I am sure your opinion of the PrimaLuna DiaLogue is right on the money. While listening to the ProLogue Premium I had a few moments when I thought I sure could recover a lot of cash by selling my amps and preamp and buy this little beauty, but there's no way I could part with my system. I'm glad you enjoyed the review.
