RE: Primaluna integrated questions...

Posted by Wojciech on January 15, 2021 at 17:09:28:

Well, It does look like your integrated amp uses and active triode in the preamplifier section either as an amplifying device or as a buffer stage. So it is not a simple passive stage. Look at the two 9 pin tube sockets upfront. There are two additional white intersection coupling capacitors meaning the other half of the tube (which is not employed in the amp) is used in the integrated amp. Separate preamp usually provides better power supply and separation from the noisy power stages compared to integrated amp. Sometimes "less is more" doesn't work as advertised. Personally I like "more is more" and more of "more" the better...Warm Regards
