The EVO 100 Tube Phonostage is a fully tube-based phono preamplifier designed to extract maximum performance from vinyl systems. As PrimaLuna’s dedicated analog front-end component, it amplifies the delicate signal from a turntable cartridge with exceptional clarity, warmth, and low noise—bringing records to life with depth and realism.
Supporting both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, it offers flexible gain and impedance settings to match a wide range of setups. Its all-tube signal path—combined with tube rectification and a massive custom power supply—delivers a rich, natural presentation with excellent detail and dynamic expression.
Built with PrimaLuna’s signature point-to-point wiring and premium components, it ensures high signal purity, reliability, and long-term performance in demanding hi-fi systems.
