About PrimaLuna

PrimaLuna set out to remove the two things that put people off valve amplifiers: setting bias with a meter, and the risk of a failing valve taking the amplifier with it. Adaptive AutoBias sets each valve continuously, and the protection circuitry shuts a failing valve down. That makes valve rolling - swapping valve types for a different sound - something an ordinary owner can do.

A Dutch distributor who set out to make valve amplifiers that did not require the owner to understand valves.

Notable models: ProLogue, EVO 100, EVO 400.
