Writing a “5 months later” review. The EVO 300 is super linear and delicious with the stock tubes - which I ran for 250+ hours. I have since rolled the Gold Lion EL34’s and the Radiotechnique 12AU7‘s (from Upscale) and the performance is nothing short of euphoric. I have between 750 - 1,000 hours on these new ones. I work as a mastering engineer and use an incredibly linear system for that work. While linear is awesome, nothing can replace the goosebumps you get from a quality tube amp. If you’ve read this far, just buy it - 10 out of 10

This is my first tube amp and I am amazed at how live and open it sounds. Driving my Klipsch Fortes there is no need for any additional power. The crew at Upscale Audio are top-notch, working with me on shipping details and answering questions. They followed up afterward more than once. This is a great amp and a great company backing it.

The PrimaLuna EVO 300 tube integrated amp is, in a work, Outstanding. Kevin's video on the integrated amps was right on the money. The build quality is second to none. The value for the money also, second to none. You could pay three or four times as much and not get this kind of quality. My EVO 300 arrived, triple boxed, and in immaculate condition. The sound, with the pre-installed PrimaLuna labeled EL34 and 12AU7 tubes is superb. I've paired it with GoldenEar Triton Fives and a GoldenEar ForceField 3 and they sound fantastic. Having been around electronics since I discovered stero and quadraphonic back in the 70s, I can honestly say this is an heirloom piece that I am sure my family will enjoy for many, many years. The next addition will be to pair the EVO 300 with the PrimaLuna Tube DAC 100, and kick things up to the next level. Thanks to Kevin for his very informative videos, I look forward to doing business with Upscale Audio for years to come.

This is the first tube amp I ever had and am very impressed with the functionality built in the amp and smoothness for a wide variety of music.

I’ve been into tubes for 20 years and found the 300 integrated to be the best amp I have ever owned. I have had twice as expensive separates that don’t match the range, liquidness and pop of the 300 integrated. When I called upscale audio with questions I was surprised by the time and knowledge I was given. The sales guy I talked to genuinely loved the hobby and helped me not over buy as I did not need to buy the 400 integrated for great performance. I have very efficient speakers. I upgraded to kt150 power tubes and a pair of 12au7s best sound I have ever had and easy to use. Now have room to put my turntable back on my entertainment shelves. Also the 300 integrated is very attractive and spouse friendly. Thanks Upscale Audio, Lyle
