Primaluna separates or Integrated?


Im planning to upgrade my system around a recently purchased gorgeous sounding Primaluna CD player and my trusty 25+ year old Linn Sondek LP12 turntable. I am very interested in experiencing Primaluna amplification and am interested in advice of which route to take of either the Dialogue Premium Integrated or the Prologue Premium separates. I admit that I have not had the opportunity to listen to triode vs. ultralinear which seems to be the most significant difference between the two options.  Thoughts and opinions?

would agree with comments from the others. the Dialogues have larger Output transformers, so will weigh more. The prologue premium pre amp uses no cathode follower, so would keep cables between the pre and power amp on the short side. I have both dialogue premium and prologue premium power amps. Both are very nice. would also suggest setting aside a few bucks in your budget for some after market input tubes. Either NOS or the psvane T-IIs.

both amps also benefit nicely from coupling cap upgrades, but another story for another time.

good luck and happy listening.
