Overview

PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube Integrated Amplifier

40 watts per channel. Eight vacuum tubes. Pure analog simplicity.

The PrimaLuna EVO 100 brings traditional vacuum tube amplification into a compact, all-in-one stereo design. Delivering 40 watts per channel through four EL34 output tubes, it combines a preamplifier and power amplifier in a single chassis—ideal for building a dedicated two-channel HiFi system without separate amplification components.

PrimaLuna's Adaptive AutoBias eliminates manual tube-bias adjustments, while custom-wound transformers and hand-wired point-to-point circuitry provide the foundation for its design. Four RCA inputs and an output-transformer-coupled tube headphone amplifier make the EVO 100 equally suited to loudspeaker and personal listening.

Key Features

  • 40W per channel: EL34 tube amplification in ultra-linear mode.

  • Adaptive AutoBias: Continuously monitors and adjusts output tube bias.

  • Bad Tube Indicator: Identifies a failed tube and activates protection circuitry.

  • Tube headphone amplifier: Output-transformer-coupled design with a ¼-inch headphone connection.

  • Tube flexibility: Supports compatible alternatives, including KT88 and KT120. The EVO 100 is not KT150 compatible.

  • Custom transformers: Potted toroidal power transformer and custom-wound output transformers.

  • Point-to-point wiring: Hand-wired signal path using heavy-gauge cable.

  • Analog connectivity: Four stereo RCA inputs, a tape output, and 4Ω/8Ω speaker connections.
