RE: PrimaLuna Dialogue Five amplifier - sound issue

I would strongly recommend to keep the Classe amp, irrespective of whether the Prima Luna's sound will improve after burn-in/warmup or not.

I had a similar experience when I connected my 11-year old Cary SLI-80 integrated (which uses KT-88/6550 tubes) in place of vintage SS Sansui AU-517 amplifier. I got a somewhat inversed impression - as if the Sansui was a vacuum-tube amplifier and the Cary - a SS amplifier.

This impression changed, however, when I let the Cary play for three or four hours.

Nevertheless, I like the Sansui better - it's just more natural - warm, consistent and dynamic (especially, with CDs).

That's why I recommend that you keep the Classe amp, if you can afford using two amplifiers.
