Our first
PrimaLuna Hybrid Integrated
Amplifier comes with a PrimaLuna
designed tube pre-stage section and
a Floyd Mosfet power stage. Durob’s
Jan de Groot designs
the latter. Mosfets are the closest
in solid-state to tubes and a
logical choice for expanding a
tube-based only range. Jan has been
designing with Mosfets as a
profession since 1995. PrimaLuna was
established in 2003.
The Primaluna
pre-stage uses our well known six
pieces 12AU7 configuration. The
Floyd Mosfet power stage uses paired
Linear Systems JFETs and 20N20/20P20
Mosfets resulting in a 2 x 100 Watt
power rating at 8 Ohm.
Where possible, we use hard wiring,
and if PCBs are needed, we use the
highest quality PCBs available
(2.5mm thick instead of the standard
1.6mm), 105um (usually 35um) gold
plated copper tracks.
The PrimaLuna pre-stage uses two
power supplies (including two
separate transformers), while the
power stage comes with a single
500VA transformer. The starting
point for all the power supplies is
our AC Offset Killer circuit.
The amplifier
comes with six inputs (5 x Line RCA,
1 x HT) and outputs (tape out,
stereo/mono sub, headphone and
speakers, of course). It arrives
with a fully shielded heavy-metal
sub-chassis for the optional MM
phono stage.
Construction is extremely solid and
robust, as usual, and puts 25kg net
on the scale, while the looks are
elegant for such a heavy amplifier.
Lean & Mean!
In all PrimaLuna
products, we use high-quality parts
and wiring for the best sonic
results and the highest reliability.
Takman, DuRoch, Nichicon, Alps,
Linear Systems, Rubycon, Kemet are
some of the brands we use.
First comments
from audio professionals from all
over the world are coming in now and
sound good! Production is running,
and at the end of the year, early
next year, we hope to have
sufficient stocks around the world,
despite the global lack of various
electronic components.
