No single best amplifier here. What decides it is what you have to drive, what you need to plug in, and how much of the system you want in one box.
| Area | Better | Why |
|---|
| Power | B | Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 has more power - 125W against 100W into 8 ohms. That is about 1dB, which is a small step in loudness but real headroom on peaks. |
| Grip on hard loads | evenly matched | Both behave much the same into 4 ohms - output increases modestly (150W and 186W). |
| Noise floor | B | Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 is the quieter design on paper - 112dB against 105dB. Audible mainly with sensitive speakers in a quiet room. |
| Phono stage | depends | Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 has a built-in phono stage and PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated does not. Decisive if you own a turntable, completely irrelevant if you do not - and an outboard phono stage is easy to add later either way. |
| Use with a TV | depends | Only Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 has HDMI, so the television can drive it directly and one remote controls the volume. If the system is for music only, this changes nothing. |
| Headphones | depends | Only Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 has a headphone output. Worth something if you listen late, nothing if you never do. |
| Amplifier class | depends | PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated is Class A/B and Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 is Class AB-T. Class A/B runs warm and is the long-established mainstream choice. Modern examples of both measure well - judge by the rest of the page. |
| Price | B | Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 costs less - $6,499 against $6,995 at list. |
| Watts per dollar | B | Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 is the cheaper watt - about $52 per watt against $70. A blunt measure, and it says nothing about how either sounds, but it is the honest one for raw output. |
A PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated B Advance Paris NOVA A-i130
depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both amplifiers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.
Which should you choose?
Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 has the edge on paper, though not by much. The rows marked "depends" are more likely to decide this than the score is. If you play records, Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 saves you buying a phono stage; if you do not, ignore that row entirely. If this sits under a television, Advance Paris NOVA A-i130 is the one to buy - HDMI ARC means the TV remote controls the volume and there is no second box in the way.
What a spec sheet cannot show: how either sounds with your speakers, how the controls feel day to day, and what the app is like to live with - which is where most all-in-one amplifiers are actually won or lost. Power figures are the manufacturers' own and are not measured to a common standard, so treat small differences as noise. If you can hear both, that will tell you more than any row above.
