WTB: Primaluna DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier
« on: November 23, 2015, 09:06:38 PM »
WTB: Primaluna DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier.  I am contemplating a move within the Primaluna line up to their top pre-amp. (I own the Prologue Premium Pre now and love it.) Prefer black, but silver is NOT a deal breaker.  Must be in very, very good to excellent condition.

Please PM me with details. (Location, asking price, age of unit, etc...)

Thanks,
SN

one of my friends owns that preamp, very very nice sound :thumb:
good luck finding one used....built like a tank
System consists of an amp a preamp, 2 speakers a turntable and a phono preamp, Also some cables and power cords and a really cheap cd player.

Like I said in my original post, I have the Prologue pre and love it.   Thought it would be nice to move up to the Dialogue. No rush, but never hurts to start scouting things out early. You never can tell when something comes available out there in Audioland!  :)

Actually, it's because I own the Prologue and love it. I'm assuming the Dialogue is going to be the same, only better!

Maybe Kevin at Upscale Audio is doing something for Black Friday/Cyber Monday and you can talk him into getting the DiaLogue Premium for a fair price?
