EVO 100 Tube Phonostage

Dare to Compare

An external phono stage that is PrimaLuna with a massive power transformer, 5AR4 tube rectification, and with 12AX7 gain for MM, and 6922 gain for MC

It's here at last, a standalone PrimaLuna phono stage built to the same extreme level of engineering as every other PrimaLuna and every bit as thoughtful and intuitive. The goal of the EVO 100 phono stage was to keep controls and features as simple as possible.

The EVO 100 Phonostage supports both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. The MM stage offers two capacitance settings, and the MC stage offers three gain and five input impedance settings. The delicate signals in the MC stage are protected by mechanically decoupling the board.

All PrimaLuna, Inside and Out

At 27.9 lb, you know the EVO 100 Phonostage is all PrimaLuna in its use of a massive custom power transformer, with full protection. The heavy gauge steel chassis sports PrimaLuna's deep, glassy five-coat paint, with each coat hand-rubbed and polished.

Inside, all of the high-quality parts are joined using point-to-point wiring. The parts list is familiar to any PrimaLuna fan: ceramic tube sockets, Nichicon and DuRoch capacitors, and gold-plated connectors. 

All-Tube Glory

As you'd expect from PrimaLuna, the EVO 100 Phonostage is tube rectified using two 5AR4 tubes. Two EL34 stabilize the power supply, and four 12AX7 form the gain stage for the MM setting. The gain for MC is from two 6922 tubes. 

This makes the EVO 100 Phonostage the perfect match for PrimaLuna gear, bringing all-tube magic into every signal part. Or, pair this with a revealing solid-state system and enjoy huge levels of detail without a shred of harshness.

This particular unit, available for sale as traded, has been lightly used and taken out of the box for only 3 days. It is essentially in like-new condition, with no visible signs of wear or damage. Despite the client's change in direction to purchase a subwoofer instead, this pre-amp presents an excellent opportunity for audiophiles to enhance their vinyl playback experience with top-tier performance and quality.

 

Here is the normal listing on my website for it - you will see that it is marked at twenty percent off the normal price, 

All my Prima Luna is marked down by 20% at the moment. Please buy this unit and then the other pieces to compliment it at the discount. The discount runs until march 15 unless sold out prior.

PRIMALUNA EVO 100 TUBE PHONO PREAMPLIFIER

 

Dick Olsher from The Absolute Sound Magazine in the USA has tested our PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube Phono Preamplifier and says:“This superlative phonostage is bound to elevate your vinyl playback experience to new heights. It has certainly magnified my enjoyment to the point where I just could not stop listening to vinyl. I can’t think of higher praise than that. It is so good that, for now, I see no reason to spend more on a phonostage. It is without a doubt a sonic masterpiece!”

Not that I'm in the market, but it's nice to see good old fashioned green lights and not the retina burning blue that most components use these days.
