PrimaLuna EVO 300 – Tube Preamplifier

Immerse yourself in a world where music not only sounds superbly intoxicating, but surfaces from a silence so profound, you’ll be questioning how it’s even possible. Introducing the PrimaLuna EVO 300, a tube preamplifier that sublimates audio performance into an all-enveloping, captivating experience. Innovation, precision, and a desire to perfect the unimpeachable quality of sound proudly lie at this product’s core. Origins are unmistakably rendered in the PrimaLuna custom-wound gigantic toroidal power transformers, meticulously designed to be low in hum and electromagnetic interference. Add to this the unique AC Offset Killer – a feature that plunges transformer noise to depths others only dream of – and you get a remarkably quiet audio backdrop, allowing a heightened sense of space and texture. Presence. The resonance of an acoustic guitar or violin string, suspending in the air, stretching into infinite delicacy and authenticity. This is the gift of the AC Offset Killer, a feature set to astound you as it unfolds the secrets of your favourite tracks. Advance into the audio realm even further with dual toroidal power transformers and tube rectification. The former, known to emit about a tenth of the magnetic field that standard transformers do, creates an uncannily 3D soundscape that seems to float in the ether around you. These transformers are neatly encased in metal, then potted in a non-microphonic resin, silencing noise and preserving their condition. The latter process, meanwhile, further purifies the sound, offering a meditative backdrop to every beat. The EVO 300 is the very embodiment of unrestrained sophistication and attention to detail – from its hand-wired, point-to-point internal wiring to the use of Takman resistors and Japanese Alps Blue Velvet potentiometer, all tailored to bleeding-edge noise elimination and musicality. Among the gems it all harbours, one of the EVO 300’s most significant benefits is its dual-mono design, rarely found outside of the highest echelons of audio equipment. This feature allows you to build two disparate, yet equally sublime preamps into one box, creating an atmospheric, ethereal soundscape whose scale seamlessly swells into infinity. Dare to dive into an audio experience enriched by PrimaLuna’s unique PerfectMatch feature, specifically designed to present an optimum 100K ohm impedance to your source components. The EVO 300 has been engineered down to a molecular level to present your music with a detail, fervor, and clarity that provides an incomparable audio experience.
