PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube Integrated Amplifier

The PrimaLuna EVO 100 Integrated Amplifier exemplifies exceptional valve engineering—a premium audio component that delivers remarkable performance without the complexity often associated with tube technology.

Exceptional Craftsmanship

Each PrimaLuna EVO 100 features meticulous handmade construction with a heavy-gauge, fully vented steel chassis finished with five coats, each hand-rubbed and polished. Inside, you'll find point-to-point wiring using only the finest Swiss silver wires—a level of detail typically reserved for far more expensive valve equipment.

Premium Components

This integrated amplifier incorporates custom-designed toroidal and EI-frame transformers manufactured to exacting specifications from one of America's most prestigious transformer designers. Each transformer is fully encapsulated to ensure minimal hum and optimal isolation.

Additional premium components include:

• Motorised ALPS volume controls
• Nichicon and DuRoch polypropylene and tinfoil capacitors
• Superfast Philips rectifier diodes
• Ceramic tube sockets
• Gold-plated heavy-duty WBT-style speaker terminals with solid shaft construction
• Gold-plated panel-mounted RCA input jacks

Exclusive Technology

The EVO 100 features PrimaLuna's proprietary Adaptive Auto Bias™ circuit which monitors and smoothly adjusts tube bias continuously, dramatically reducing distortion while eliminating the need for manual bias adjustments. This user-friendly approach extends to the high/low bias switch that allows effortless selection of the optimum setting for EL34 or KT88 tubes.

Thoughtful Features

• PTP™ (Power Transformer Protection) circuit prevents damage from overheating
• SoftStart smart circuit design extends component life and reduces thermal shock
• 100% shielded phonostage box for the optional PhonoLogue moving magnet circuit
• High-quality headphone amplifier that utilises the main circuit and all vacuum tubes
• Substantial metal remote control
• Improved output-stage protection circuitry with relay
