The PrimaLuna EVO integrated amplifier is a high-end tube amp featuring 14 tubes, point to point wiring and adaptive auto bias. It has 5 pairs of RCA inputs and 1 home theater bypass. It has variable stereo RCA and XLR outputs, stereo subwoofer outputs and 1/4 inch headphone jack. Weighing in at just under 70 pounds, this thing is a beast. Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio has several YouTube videos which cover everything you would want to know. MSRP $6495.
At US$4,000, this sits just above the US$3,956 median and a touch under the US$4,344 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-strong asking price rather than a bargain or a stretch. For a used PrimaLuna integrated, that’s squarely in sensible territory if the amp is clean, fully functional, and comes with the remote and factory tubes.
The EVO 400 is well liked for its refined, muscular tube sound, easy drive, and forgiving-but-detailed presentation that works across a lot of systems. If the condition is genuinely unknown, the real value hinges on whether it’s been cared for properly, because tube gear rewards good upkeep; still, at this price, a complete and healthy example is a very credible buy.
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.
