“The Mystere ia11 is fantastic. I’d heard that the primaluna products pair well with GoldenEar speakers and when I saw this sister Brand on a deal, I decided to give it a try. Thus far I am very pleased! It makes my Tritons sing!!!”

“The Mystere ia11 has received high praise in a every review I have read about it. Factoring in the cost, physical appearance, high quality components and how very well it is constructed and you have a real winner. Like many others, I was decidedly impressed by how good it sounds from low to high end. Cut to the chase, it sounds like you are there.”

“It replaced McIntosh MA6500, not that I did not like Mac but it was time to taste the flavor of tubes. After narrowing down to Mystere and Primaluna, the deal going on Mystere and its excellent reviews the decision had been made. Well, the details, holographic and "pleasantness" of Mystere's sound were on different, much higher level. I do not have a problem running low efficient speakers (85 dB Sonus Faber Venere 1.5), funny thing that position of sound level control is the same as was on Mac (!), giving the same loudness. Recently I upgraded tubes to Genalex KT77 and TungSol 6SN7GTB, from Kevin, it moved experience another notch. Very satisfied with Mystere, grab the last one you will not be disappointed.”

“I have owned two Primaluna Prologue One Integrated Amplifiers over the last 12 years for use in my vacation home and they always sounded great. I tried some nice solid state integrated amps but always came back to tubes. Recently after we built a new lake house to replace our smaller cabin I now have a dedicated audio/media room and decided to try something different. The Mystere IA11 sounds different of course running in pentode, but I prefer the sound overall. The bass response is still solid and the amp just feels more powerful than the Primaluna Prologue One. Very dynamic without sounding too warm. The sound stage is excellent with great depth and very good imaging. I am using Golden Ear Triton Seven tower speakers which are fairly efficient and the system sounds great, giving my esoteric system at home a run for the money. Highly recommended! I have been using Golden Lion KT77's as a upgrade to the stock EL34's, this is a nice upgrade for those so inclined.”

“One of the best tube-amplifier i've ever heard. Voice,piano,guitar...is pure. I have also a perreaux r 200i:he is very good and cool,but this let blow your socks away! Bas is not so heavy,but good in harmony with the rest. Mid and high are pure. Very nice to listen to. My friend changed the tube El 34 in -C (made in Russia) and the tubes pre-ampc in rca. Greath!!!
