After the great success of last week’s Musashi Triode, we remain on the topic of valves with a test of the PrimaLuna Evo 200
PrimaLuna Evo 200 a tube amplifier for many
The PrimaLuna Evo 200 is an excellent value-for-money tube amplifier that employs an effective automatic bias adjustment circuit that makes it easy to adopt many different tubes; in fact, in addition to the supplied EL34s, KT88, KT120 and KT150 can be used. Output power is about 45W per channel, typical for this configuration, for an exquisitely analog product whose only concession to modernity is the remote control for volume and inputs. The PrimaLuna Evo 200 It can be an ‘excellent gateway into quality HiFi, or the excellent end point for the music lover who wants a well-sounding, reliable, long-lived product that can hold its price in the market. Finally it leaves ample room for those who want to have fun replacing tubes, and with no small amount of satisfaction-we tried it with a quartet of very good KT88s and found definite improvements.
