      All tube phonostages have an inherent rumble filter built in. My designs typically go down to 10Hz. It's a tradeoff between bottom end (bass) and infrasonic noise. Getting a decent turntable also helps a lot!

    Hi, I currently own a used PrimaLuna DiaLogue Two. I am thinking about upgrading. I learned that the EVO 100 is the 3rd generation of my unit. IDK for an extra $1,000. If it's worth it. The EVO 200, is $1,600. more than my used unit. I am confident that the EVO 200 will be a better overall performer than my current model. But I'm wondering if the new EVO 100 will provide an 'appreciable difference' in sound performance Both the new EVO 100 & 200 come with an amazing headphone amp which my current model doesn't have & that costs money.

      You really are going to have to listen for yourself but I suspect that you will need some more power for those bad boys. 804 Nominal impedence is 8 ohms but can drop as low as 3. Also the B&W recommended minimum is 50W so you’re kinda on the limit already. That’s not to say you can’t pre-out from the primaluna to some nice power amp or mono blocks and have your cake and eat it. If you can spend 14K on a pair of speakers then you can afford to do a little research and find a dealer who will give you better advice than me.
