My heavily anticipated PrimaLuna ProLogue Eight CD player was delivered by Santa this afternoon. Right out of the box it sounds FANTASTIC! I can only imagine what it will be like in about 100-200 hours of running time. I will let it break in over the next week and then post an initial review and photos next weekend.

Aloha!

This is the strangest optical mix between transport and amp I have ever seen.

It is CERTAINLY unique. A CD player styled like a tube amp. It is pure tube, right down to the clocking device. Great fun for us tube lovers!

That thing is sweet!!!! I hope it's as great a value as all their gear is reported to be.

I have been waiting for some feedback on one of these players. Please include any comparisons to other players when you get back to us. Thanks.

X2.... comparos are essential. How about dragging the player to a meet and posting your impressions. Looks very interesting.

I have a Prima Luna amp and the build on this looks very similar; built like a tank to last with a heavy duty power supply.

First impression out of the box: WOW! How sweet, how "analogue" sounding! Needs burning in!

 

[tom hankins]

Cant wait for your impressions!

[kentamcolin]

I will compare this beauty with some other cd-players: - Rega Saturn (approx. 2000 EUR) - Marantz SA17S1 (approx. 2000 EUR) - Jadis JD3 Evolution (6500 EUR) - Metronome CD3 Signature (7200 EUR) More news to come. (Sorry for my poor English writing!)

I am especially interested in the Rega Saturn comparison so please do not delay. Don't worry about your English. Your honest observations are all that is important. Thanks!

Wow, that's a really great piece. No pic of the CDP in its new surroundings?

Would love to hear it, must sound amazing.
