Integrated amplifiers — PrimaLuna EVO 100

The EVO 100 is an accessible tube integrated amplifier from PrimaLuna, a well-established manufacturer known for accomplished, value-focused tube electronics engineering, built with detailed dual-tube-configuration specifications. The EVO 100 brings PrimaLuna's considered engineering to an accessible tube integrated format.

Key specs that matter

Four single-ended inputs are provided. Input sensitivity is 260mV or 280mV depending on tube configuration, with input impedance at a substantial 100,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is 40W or 41W depending on tube configuration. Gain is 37dBu or 37.5dBu. Frequency response spans a wide 10Hz to 75,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 90dB or 91dB. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is under 0.2% at 1W. At 405 x 280 x 190mm and 18kg, the EVO 100 maintains a manageable, accessible tube integrated amplifier chassis.

Sound and use context

Expect the warm, richly textured character tube amplification is broadly celebrated for, representing accomplished value at this accessible price tier within PrimaLuna's broader considered engineering philosophy.
