“I have been listening to the Dialogue Premium integrated for over five years, and it has been a true joy. I recently wrote a review of it here on Upscale's website, where I referred to it as the "bedrock" of my system and my "forever" amp. In fact, I had no intention of ever replacing it, until recently I went with a friend to audition headphones. I have not listened to headphones in a VERY long time, and I was blown away by the sound quality of some of the new sets. Ultimately I decided to upgrade to the EVO 400 in order to take advantage of the headphone jack, but also because of the added flexibility of the line-level outputs. I also figured that the extra power of the EVO 400 would give me added flexibility in choosing loud speakers if/when I decide to replace my PSB Synchrony Twos in the future. Honestly, I was not expecting to get any sonic improvement over the Dialogue Premium, but I was pleasantly surprised by improved lower end bass and a more open sound stage. Overall, I am extremely happy with the EVO 400. I do have two small critiques: First, I prefer the older style remote control that came with the Dialogue Premium. The new remote is slimmer and feels cheaper. It is lighter weight and the buttons don't have the same tactile response. It also has a rather loud "rattle", as if something is loose inside. Second, I wish they would have designed the EVO 400 to allow the tube cage to fit when using KT150s. Otherwise, I absolutely love it! Thanks!”
