Perfect. Don't know you get better than this unless you get a Kevin system. Which has elephants turning a generator powering 10 amps built by fairies with boots. I put in KT-88s and have upscales' Wrinkled Glass Mullards up front. P.S. - tell Kevin to stop making fairies wear boots

Let me say this simply. The Primaluna EVO 400 power amplifier is the real deal. Seriously no BS it's a end game component. Forget specs and hand waving it's proof is in the performance. After going through many amplifiers over the years I finally have the magic and emotional connection with music again. I will be purchasing a second EVO 400 power amplifier and the EVO 400 pre amplifier in the near future. Build quality is second to none and the fact it's jam packed with high quality parts, point to point wiring and not a empty box makes me rest easy that I got great value for my money. Sincere thank you to Kevin Deal for his informative and entertaining videos that introduced me to such a fine product line. Highly recommended!

I would like to thank Ash at Upscale Audio for talking me into purchasing a second EVO400 power amp. Never imagined running both amps in mono mode would make such a difference. Channel separation and dynamic slam has improved substantially. Have to say that having the best of PrimaLuna (EVO400 preamp with upgraded tubes) and a pair of EVO400 amps hits the sweet spot.

Great match with the EVO400 preamp. Brought out Dynamics in music I hadn’t heard with my mono block solid-state amps and surprisingly better bass.

The product the Prima Luna EVO 400 is really fabulous!! Value is absolutely great. I just got back into building a new system and had a BAT VK 60 se old stuff but a very good sounding tube amp. Now very shortly I will have to get another EVO 400 to do a dual mono sound. I am driving my new amp with an arc Reference 6 preamp. Using a PS audio direct stream DAC and the Direct Music Player the sound is awesome. The amp uses Svetlana wing C EL 34 tubes with all original driver preamp tubes. The factory front end tubes do a good job on shaping the sound. The Svetlana tubes add body. This is my current desire mixed with the ARC's 6h30p tubes. For the glorious sound and good price you can't go wrong here. Upscale did a great job shipping out very quickly. No hassles here. I highly recommend this place. From the North Texas Andy Young
