Introducing: The highly acclaimed PrimaLuna Prologue 1 (EL34) and Prologue 2 )KT88) Integrated Tube Amps From Sweden
The PrimaLuna Prologue 1 And Prologue 2 Integrated Tube Amps[/b]
The PrimaLuna Prologue One - 35 wpc and that famous EL-34 warmth
that people love, in a package that is hand-built with attention
to detail and the highest quality parts. 35 watts is a ton of power,
and will drive most speakers available with ease and grace.

The PrimaLuna Prologue Two -Want the ultimate? Classic Ultralinear
all-tube sound, with all the body and glory that you could ask for.
For an additional p over the EL-34 equipped Prologue One, you will
get an amplifier that has more power, better bass authority, and a
little more air on top, but never edgy.
SRP: P108,500
Tube Compliment:
2 x 12AX7, 2 x 12AU7,
4 x KT-88
40 watts per channel

Power Consumption: 300 watts
Dimensions: 15.5" x 11" x 7.5"
Weight: 37.5 lbs

KEY FEATURES OF THE PROLOGUE 1 AND PROLOGUE 2:
1. Hand made with the finest point to point wiring, with workmanship
equal to or better than any product you can buy at any price, period.
2. Chassis made of finely finished heavy gauge steel, and five step
automotive quality finish. Each coat hand rubbed and polished.
3. Toroidal power transformer for low hum, and a preamp that is dead
quiet.
4. Conservative design runs tubes easy for long life.
It gets better. Features that you will not find on other amps at any price
point, and designed or built in-house. These enhancements were engineered
by Marcel Croese, designer of the "Product of the Year" award winning
Ah! Tjoeb. Marcel was formerly chief engineer with Goldmund, the Swiss
manufacturer of the most exclusive (and expensive) high end audio ever.
5. Soft-start circuit Extends tube life, and reduce the chance of tube
failure/shorts.
7. Tube plate fuse protects the amp output stage. Other amplifiers may
need a trip to the shop if a tube fails. Not this one. Just plug in a
new tube and fuse, and go.
8. Adaptive AutoBias Exclusive to PrimaLuna, this circuit monitors and
adjusts bias constantly and instantly. Improved performance and better
sound, as distortion is reduced by 40% to 50% over conventional designs.
You no longer have to use matched tubes or make ANY adjustments. Ever.
9. Custom designed output transformers Encapsulated low hum, wide
bandwidth for great bass and extended highs. Designed by Marcel Croese
and one of the most prestigious transformer designers in the USA.
10. Premium parts Fully vented chassis mount ceramic tube sockets,
ALPS volume control, Nichicon and Realcap capacitors. WBT style speaker
terminals. Gold plated input jacks.
