Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or new to the world of vinyl, this preamp is designed to deliver an exceptional listening experience that immerses you in the music.

Craftsmanship and Quality

At the heart of the EVO 100 is PrimaLuna’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Hand-built with a heavy-gauge, fully-vented steel chassis, the EVO 100 exudes durability and elegance. The five-coat finish, each coat hand-rubbed and polished, not only provides a stunning appearance but also ensures the chassis is robust and long-lasting. Inside, the finest point-to-point wiring is employed, a feature usually reserved for much higher-priced components, ensuring that every detail of the audio signal is preserved.

Premium Components for Superior Sound

The EVO 100 is equipped with premium components that contribute to its superior sound quality. Nichicon and DuRoch capacitors, known for their reliability and performance, are used throughout, while ceramic tube sockets and gold-plated RCA input and output jacks ensure optimal connectivity and signal integrity. The 5AR4 tube-rectifier circuitry adds a level of smoothness and warmth to the sound that only tube amplification can provide.

Advanced Protection and Longevity

Reliability is a hallmark of PrimaLuna products, and the EVO 100 is no exception. It features the SoftStart™ circuit, which extends the life of sensitive components and reduces the risk of tube failure due to thermal shock. Additionally, all PrimaLuna power transformers include the PTP™ (Power Transformer Protection) circuit. This innovative feature protects the unit from damage caused by overheating, ensuring that the EVO 100 continues to perform flawlessly for years to come.

Tailored to Your Vinyl Setup

The PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube Phono Preamplifier is designed with versatility in mind, allowing you to fine-tune its settings to match your specific turntable and cartridge setup. Whether you’re using a Moving Magnet (MM) or Moving Coil (MC) cartridge, the EVO 100 provides straightforward options for adjusting load, gain, and capacitance. This flexibility ensures that you can achieve the best possible sound quality from your vinyl records, regardless of the cartridge type.

Effortless Operation

Simplicity is key with the EVO 100. PrimaLuna has focused on making the operation of this preamp as straightforward as possible. With a single set of stereo RCA inputs and outputs, connecting your turntable and amplifier is a breeze. The user-friendly design allows you to focus on enjoying your music, rather than getting bogged down by complicated controls.

With a maximum output voltage of 26.3 dBV and a RIAA-curve deviation of less than 0.5 dB, the EVO 100 ensures accurate and detailed sound reproduction. The preamp’s wide bandwidth of 0 Hz to 20 kHz, coupled with its low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD+N) of less than 0.40%, means that your music will be reproduced with incredible fidelity and clarity.

The preamp’s impressive channel separation and high signal-to-noise ratio further enhance the listening experience, providing a spacious and immersive soundstage that lets you hear every detail.
