But this time, dear reader, the amplifier isn’t being boxed up and going on its merry way. I have arranged to buy it, because I think I’d miss it too much once it was gone. I can think of no stronger recommendation than that!

Like other PrimaLuna models, the Evo 400 integrated amplifier is an extraordinary mixture of being low maintenance, and a great first valve amplifier, combined with a spot of tube-rolling audio nervosa paradise. The ability to change between ultralinear and triode at the flick of a remote control button, combined with the ability to use different valve types means that this amplifier can indeed be all things to all people, or ‘cakeism’ as the modern turn of phrase goes. But not only is this the ultimate ‘cakeist’ amplifier, it actually does the various options extremely well. It is not only an educational experience, it is also extremely satisfying to listen to. Well thought out, well executed, and creates a high bar for those few competitors at this price!

PrimaLuna’s EVO 400 is a work of art. If you’re on the hunt for a world-class integrated tube amp for less than five figures, it’s hard to imagine how you could do better!

 You will hardly be able to buy another tube integrated amplifier, with this sound quality for this price.

And – oh – what a glorious sound hit me. It’s always great to hear a finely tuned valve amplifier
