PrimaLuna EVO 200 Tube Preamplifier

Brand:
Product Code: Evo 200 Preamplifier

Price: 3.475,00‎€

The PrimaLuna EVO 200 Tube Preamplifier represents the natural evolution of the entry-level EVO 100 model, raising the bar for sonic performance with an upgraded power supply stage and a full-width chassis.

Crafted with the Dutch brand's renowned artistry, the EVO 200 delivers immensely detailed sound reproduction, a holographic soundstage, and the warm, textured, fatigue-free naturalness characteristic of fine vacuum tube amplification.

The signal path is fully hand-wired point-to-point using silver-plated OFC copper wiring. Unlike its smaller sibling, the EVO 200 utilizes larger custom toroidal power transformers enclosed in potted housings to eliminate electrical hum and mechanical vibration.

Input switching is managed via sealed, high-reliability relays, while volume regulation relies on the acclaimed motorized ALPS Blue Velvet potentiometer. The circuit includes a dedicated tube headphone amplifier with a front-panel output and features an HT Pass-Thru function for seamless integration into multi-channel Home Theater systems.

  • Hand-Wired Point-to-Point Construction: Audio circuit built entirely by hand with silver-plated copper wiring and high-precision solder joints, free from printed circuit boards (PCBs)

  • Oversized Toroidal Transformers: High-efficiency custom power transformers with ultra-low magnetic radiation, resin-encapsulated to guarantee an inaudible noise floor

  • Selected Audiophile Components: Motorized ALPS Blue Velvet potentiometer, DuRoch signal capacitors, and ceramic tube sockets mounted on decoupled plates

  • Integrated Tube Headphone Stage: Front-panel 6.3 mm jack output driven directly by the tube preamplifier section, featuring a dedicated LS/HP (Loudspeakers/Headphones) selector switch

  • HT Pass-Thru Input: Volume-bypass mode designed for connecting external Home Theater receivers or processors
