This is a fair ask, slightly above the typical used market but not by much. With a median of US$865 and a 75th percentile of US$928, the US$990 asking price sits just over that upper band, so I’d call it a touch ambitious rather than a bad number.
That said, this is a well-regarded player if you like the PrimaLuna house sound: smooth, full-bodied, and easy to listen to rather than hyper-etched. For a buyer, the appeal is the combo of solid CD playback, tube-friendly musicality, and the chance to get into a respected piece of kit that can still be a satisfying daily-spinner if the transport and outputs are healthy. If it’s genuinely clean and complete, I’d still consider it — just make sure the tray, laser, and any remote are all in order at this price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PrimaLuna, a boutique Dutch hi-fi brand, emerged in 2003 from the vision of Herman van den Dungen, a seasoned industry veteran with over 40 years of experience. Born in the Netherlands, van den Dungen had built his reputation earlier through Durob Audio, founded in 1975 as one of the first high-end importers in the Benelux region. Drawing on decades of tinkering with vintage radios and turntables, he launched PrimaLuna to democratize elite tube amplification, blending European design ingenuity with rigorous quality oversight in Chinese manufacturing.
The brand specializes exclusively in vacuum tube amplifiers, including integrated, power, and preamplifier models across series like ProLogue, DiaLogue, and EVO. PrimaLuna's hallmark is its unique construction—point-to-point wiring, custom transformers, and tube rectification—prioritizing sonic purity, longevity, and minimal servicing needs over broader categories like speakers, DACs, or turntables.
Positioned as high-end yet accessible, PrimaLuna occupies a niche among tube enthusiasts, earning acclaim for delivering "joyous cost-value surprises" through reliable, musically engaging performance that rivals pricier competitors. Its reputation for dependability and superb sound has solidified its status among discerning audiophiles worldwide, underscoring Dutch precision in a crowded market.
