Conclusions (STEREOPHILE)
Like so many people who have the opportunity to audition lots of gear—reviewers and dealers mostly, I suppose—I carry with me an idea of the sort of quality one can expect from, say, a $500 record player or a $25,000 amplifier or a $1000 pair of speaker cables. I used to have an idea of what sort of performance an audio consumer could expect from a $2600 tube preamp, but I don't anymore: The PrimaLuna DiaLogue Three, whose only major failing may be the excessive use of uppercase letters in its name, exceeded that preconception by a healthy margin.
It's simple: For the person with a taste for tubed electronics, and whose budget hews closer to Labouré-Roi than to Romanée-Conti, the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Three is a shoo-in, a must-hear, and a potential hand-me-down.
