tommy100 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Item: Primaluna Dialogue Premium Power Amplifier + Telos Fuse Upgrade + Pre & Power Tubes (see below)Location: Sydney Price: $3,250 + shippingItem Condition: GoodReason for selling: Upgrade bugPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal,Extra Info: This is the non-HP version and sits a the top of Primaluna's range of tube amps. It produces a very smooth and transparent sound, which can be tailored to your liking depending on what tubes are used. This amp is self biasing, so the change-over of any tubes is simple. The amp also can be switched between triode and ultralinear modes with the remote, which is basically switching between Class A and AB power, and this produces different type of music presentation to suit your taste and/or speakers. I've been running the amp with Focal 948 speakers, which despite having high sensitivity need a lot of power to handle the bass and lower mids, and the Primaluna Dialogue Premium can run these speakers with no issues. The amp is in good condition, I have had it for about 1 year, and there are some small scratches on the top right front of the transformer box. Note that these can't be seen with the protective cage installed. As part of the deal I'm throwing in 2 Telos Fuse ugrades, and some $2,000 worth of tubes which include Genalex Gold Lions, and Winged C EL34's. Note that I bought extra stock of the Winged C EL34's as they are acclaimed tube and not being made anymore. My thinking was that I wouldn't have to pay a fortune for them in the future as the price will mostly likely go up. There are 3 sets of the Winged C EL34's, 2 sets which are new in the box. Preamp Tubes - Genalex Gold Lion ECC82 / 12AU7 (6 Tubes) - Phillips Miniwatt (made in Aust.) CV4003 - (6 Tubes) - Mullard 12AU7 - (6 Tubes) - Primaluna 12AU7 (6 Tubes) Power Tubes - Genalex KT88 Gold Lion - (4 Tubes) - Winged C EL34 - (1 matched set of 4 Tubes used, 2 matched sets of 4 Tubes each new in the box) Other Accessories - Telos Quantium X2 Fuse - Telos QBT-18 Fuse Pictures: 1
mlow002 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 What an amazing package. Out of interest what were your favourite set of power tubes given you've got some cream of the crop choices there?
tommy100 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Posted May 23, 2017 I really like the Winged C EL34's. Before I bought the Gold Lion KT88's I was trying out a few power tubes including KT150's (which I previously sold). The Winged C's just have great texture and punchy bass, and they are very clear in presentation. I bought the Gold Lion KT88's to try something different and they are really good especially with the matching preamp tubes, but for my tastes the Winged C's have the edge. 1
