VTL2.5 or PrimaLuna2: wich is better as preamp?


I wonder if the Preamp section of the Primaluna can match the VTL 2.5 quality?

I am in the middle of a upgrade journey and still undecided if I go for integrated or separates.

I loved the VTL 2.5, but also the primalune two, with the advantage of integrated (so less cable and space).

Please give your precious feedaback! Thank you very much.

Hello,
I have a TAD 150 Signature. Please google Angelfire or bizzy bee - TAD 150; check reviews. Only 300 or so were produced by Paul G. It's a very nice tube pre for the money. The line state is very nice. The phono stage is just OK but since I don't do records it's no big deal.
I've had Counterpoint and Audible Illusions tube preamps and think the TAD offers the best overall sound. I'm getting the upgrade bug again so if you have any interest I may sell mine soon.
Best regards,
Paul
The Prologe 2 does not have an active pre-amp section. It is simply an amp with a volume control and source selector. If you want a Prologue pre-amp the Three is it for now.
I've had my VTL 2.5 for over 6 years. I have not considered another. That might tell you something.
Thanks for the feedback so far!

I purchased a used VTL 2.5. to pair with Rega Maia3 amp.

I gained a lot with a more revealing soundstage and better timbres overall. Now I can hear much more music at "nigh mode" low volume...

However it seems that I cannot use all headroom available (I cannot crank to much the volume, never passed 12:00!!).

Maybe because Rega Naos speakers are very efficient?
Maybe there is a better synergy to both Naos speakers and VTL2.5, what do you suggest?

thanks!
Good choice with VTL preamp.
Your 92db speakers will feel quite comfortable with 30wpc. amps.
Is the replacement of Rega amp an option? If so...I would start there.
Keep in mind that it's a system synergy that matters. Choose carefully.
