I have a beautiful condition PrimaLuna Dialogue Two integrated tube amp with the optional built-in MM phono stage. The amp comes with the original box, manual, and remote. Additionally I've replaced the cheapo Chinese fuse with a Hi-Fi Tuning fuse. The amp comes with the original (still strong) PrimaLuna tubes as well as a complete set of Psvane tubes(four KT88T, two 12AU7-T, and two 12AX7-T.) The Psvane tubes come with their lovely red display boxes.
The Dialogue Two and Psvane tubes have garnered universal praise from "the reviewers."

Absolute Sound's reviewer, Jim Hannon, said "...the soundstage was literally wall-to-wall on great analog recordings. String tone was gorgeous, and trumpets had the requisite “ping” on Holst’s A Fugal Overture [Lyrita], suggesting that the performance of the amplifier section of the DiaLogue is very fine, indeed."

Ken Kessler and Paul Miller of Hi-Fi News noted that the Dialogue Two "...makes hi-fi fun again, especially if you get a kick out of valve swapping. PrimaLuna for grown-ups, with added refinement, grunt, detail, and transparency. Yummy."

Finally, Frank Alles of Stereo Times, liked the Dialogue Two so much he bought the reviewed amp and plans on using it as his tube reference "...My hat is off to the folks at PrimaLuna. What impresses me most about the DiaLogue Two amplifier is how well though out and executed this product truly is. It seems that the designer left no stone unturned when it came to considering what modern users would desire and look for in a tube integrated. From the Adaptive AutoBias circuit, to the verily useful remote control with on-the-fly UL/triode switching; then last, but far from least, the provision for an excellent low-cost onboard MM phono stage, the DiaLogue Two is a bona fide home run all the way.

As if all of the above are insufficient reasons to make a semi-expensive purchase, the clincher is the gorgeous musical presentation that this amplifier provides all day long. Its dynamic contrasts are among the best I’ve encountered; and although its midrange is beauteous, its superb articulation and command of the frequency extremes is what puts it ahead of the competition. Accordingly, I’ve committed to purchase the PrimaLuna Dialogue Two. I will surely enjoy it as my prime tube reference amplifier."

Kent Johnson of Positive Feedback reviewed the Psvane 12AX7-T tube and concluded that "...Psvane is offering a significant level of sound quality at a reasonable price. This is a welcome alternative between ungraded generic tubes and often dubious and overpriced NOS tubes. Try them; I think you will be as impressed as I have been. Very highly recommended."

This is a great amp offered at a great price.

I'm asking SOLD  The tubes will be shipped in a separate box.   I accept Paypal but buyer is responsible for paying their fees.
