Prima Luna - ProLogue Two Integrated Amplifier For Sale

I have recently upgraded by Stereo System, and as a result, have to put up for sale my cherished Prima Luna Prologue-2 Intergrated Amplifier.

This is a very popular amplifier internationally, offering exceptional Value-For Money and Superb Valve sound.

Its best aspects (IMHO) are a deep and wide sound stage, Ambience Retrival, and a great sense of Immediacy or 'Being There.'

Using KT-88 Valves, it puts out approx 45 Watts... equivalent to about the preceived Punch of a 100 watt Solid State Amplifier. The KT-88 Tubes deliver a punchy sound, ideal for Rock, Pop & Jazz.

There are TONS of reviews on the net for this amplifier.

Classic Ultralinear all-tube sound, with all the body and glory that you could ask for. For an additional $250 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. In addition, the ProLogue Two comes specially equipped with the following upgrades: * Upgraded Solen capacitors made in France . The result is an even better midband and wonderful clarity. Fast Recovery Diodes. Resulting in increased definition and detail, especially when the music becomes complex. * KT88 Output Tubes. We use the current production copy of the legendary Genalex KT88. The tube sounds wonderful, with tremendous body and punch, while still giving you the warmth and humanity from an all-tube amplifier. The prologue Two can also use EL-34 tubes if desired. Like all ProLogue amplifiers, it boasts: * Soft-start circuit Extends component and tube life by powering up the amp gently every time you turn it on. Tube plate fuse Protects the amplifier output stage. Other amps may need a trip to the shop if a tube fails. Not this one. Just plug in a new tube and fuse, and go. * Adaptive AutoBias™ Exclusive to PrimaLuna, this circuit monitors and adjusts bias automatically. Each power tube is monitored to stay in a peak operating range. Improved performance and better sound, with distortion reduced by 40% to 50% over conventional designs. No need for matched tubes. No bias adjustments. Ever. It also allows you to experiment with different power tubes. Plug in virtually any power tube. Adaptive AutoBias will automatically adjust itself! In addition to KT88s, you can use 6550, KT90, EL-34, KT77, 6CA7, 6L6GC, KT66, 7581, or even 6V6GT tubes, and any of their equivalents. * 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. * Premium parts. Chassis-mounted ceramic tube sockets, Alps potentiometer, Nichicon and Solen capacitors. WBT style speaker terminals. Gold plated input jacks. 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. * Conservative design runs tubes easy for long life.

PRICE:

Like all Hi Fi Products, these are priced Low in the US (US $ 1650 = Rs 72,600 + Customs Duty ) and cost significantly more in Europe and the International markets ( Euros 1450 = Rs 92,079 ).

The piece on sale has been sourced from Prima Luna in the Netherlands

It is the 240 VAC version, and hence will not be throttled by an external 240 VAC to 110 VAC Power Transformer that you would have to use with the US Version.

Will provide a Complete set of (Upgraded) Electro Harmonix KT88 Tubes at no extra cost.

I am selling this amplifier at Rs 55,000 Or Best Offer.

Even if you dont (Think) you will like tubes, I urge you to listen to this amplifier - No Obligation.... You will be a Tube convert.

Given its 17 Kgs weight, I would prefer a Mumbai Buyer.

Audiotions welcome, even if you are just Curious.
