Overview

PrimaLuna EVO 200 Tube Preamplifier

Dual-mono design. Tube rectification. Precision analog control.

The PrimaLuna EVO 200 brings the craftsmanship of a high-end tube preamplifier to a streamlined, all-analog design. Its dual-mono architecture features two potted toroidal power transformers, four 12AU7 signal tubes, and two 5AR4 rectifier tubes.

With four stereo RCA inputs, Home Theater Bypass, and two stereo RCA outputs, the EVO 200 is designed to anchor a dedicated HiFi system while offering the flexibility to integrate with a home theater. A motorized ALPS Blue Velvet volume control and rear-mounted relay input switching complete its carefully engineered signal path.

 

Key Features

  • Dual-mono architecture: Separate power transformers and circuitry for the left and right channels.

  • Tube-rectified power supply: Two 5AR4 rectifier tubes complement four 12AU7 signal tubes.

  • SmartGain: Low-gain design intended to minimize unwanted noise.

  • PerfectMatch: Input circuitry designed to maintain consistent impedance for connected source components.

  • SuperQuiet inputs: Sealed relays mounted near the rear inputs minimize signal-path length.

  • Analog volume control: Motorized Japanese ALPS Blue Velvet potentiometer with slim remote control.

  • Hand-wired construction: Point-to-point wiring throughout the signal path.

  • Home Theater Bypass: Integrate the preamplifier into a combined stereo and cinema system.
