Our take on the PrimaLuna EVO 400 Tube Integrated Amp

The PrimaLuna EVO 400 is a high-power tube integrated amplifier built around two sets of power tubes, so it can drive demanding speakers with strong control and wide dynamics. It updates the DiaLogue Premium HP with larger custom power supplies, an upgraded headphone amp that handles planar headphones, a refined autobias circuit and better Swiss-made capacitors. It suits listeners who want a warm, detailed tube sound with real low-end grip and are willing to accept tube maintenance and heat. Against cheaper tube integrateds it offers more power and build, and reviewers say it beats its own predecessor.

Questions and answers

Is the EVO 400 a big step up from the DiaLogue Premium HP?
Yes. It keeps the HP formula but adds larger power supplies, better capacitors, improved autobias relays and a stronger headphone amp. Reviewers say it clearly surpasses the older model.
Can it drive difficult speakers?
It runs two sets of power tubes and has hefty custom power supplies, which give it the current and control for power-hungry speakers. Reviewers note strong dynamics and bass grip.
Does the headphone amp handle planar headphones?
PrimaLuna beefed up the headphone circuit specifically so it can drive demanding planar models. It is a genuine headphone output, not an afterthought.
Do I have to bias the tubes myself?
The autobias circuit handles biasing, and the EVO 400 uses improved relays in that circuit. You still replace tubes when they wear out.
What is in the box?
The amplifier and its power tubes ship together, along with the remote and documentation. You supply speakers and source components.
Is a tube amp practical for daily use?
It runs hot and tubes age, so it needs ventilation and occasional tube replacement. In return you get the tube sound and power that owners buy it for.
