    Let us know what you think. I spent some time with the Dialogue HP Premium integrated a few years back. Definitely appealing in many ways.

    Is it really a dry, almost SS technical presentation that some say it is?

    I absolutely will share thoughts as I get aquatinted! Loving the combo after only about a dozen tracks, amp bringing the speakers to life. Bass is tasteful and just right considering the limitations of these. Technicality and dynamics is blowing me away so far. Need to mess with optimal positioning for my nearfield setup,

    @crenca I would agree with dry/SS technical presentation. Part of that may be my chain though (Gungnir Unison/A2 -> Freya S -> PrimaLuna -> ). Person I bought from highly recommended the Mullard EL34 tubes for a more lush/wet presentation though.

    For many years I had the Cayin-Spark precursor to the PrimaLuna EL34 - rolled quite a few power tubes over time and was happiest with Gold Lion KT77s and for a bit cheaper, EH 6CA7s. Mullards are pretty tubby-sounding. Stay away from anything J/J. Svetlana is a bit rolled off in the bass.

    Thanks for the tips @yotacowboy, lot to learn as I have only every rolled 6922 tubes up to this point. Turns out the seller meant I should roll the mullard reissues for the 12AU7 tubes. I will have to check out the gold lions for the power tubes.
