Tube-preamp / solid-state power hybrid integrated amplifier • 100W x 2 into 8 Ohms (150W x 2 into 4 Ohms) • 6x 12AU7 dual-mono tube preamplifier • dual-mono MOSFET output stage • point-to-point hand-wired preamp • discrete headphone amp & Home Theater Pass-Through
The PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier unites the lush harmonic liquidity and holographic soundstaging of PrimaLuna’s acclaimed vacuum tube preamplification with the iron-fisted bass grip and high-current authority of a custom-designed solid-state MOSFET power stage. Developed in collaboration with renowned solid-state designer Floyd Design, this flagship hybrid delivers 100 watts per channel into 8 Ohms and 150 watts per channel into 4 Ohms, driving even low-impedance, power-hungry loudspeakers with effortless dynamic poise. Inside its heavyweight, resonance-damped steel chassis, the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier houses a true dual-mono preamplifier powered by twin toroidal transformers and six hand-matched 12AU7 dual-triode tubes, meticulously point-to-point hand-wired using Swiss silver-plated oxygen-free copper cable, Takman audiophile resistors, and Nichicon capacitors. Seamlessly feeding a dual-mono solid-state output stage equipped with paired JFETs and linear-grade MOSFETs, the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier captures the emotional warmth and three-dimensional realism of pure tube electronics without output-tube heat or impedance constraints. Complete with an Alps Blue Velvet motorized volume potentiometer, dedicated discrete headphone amplification, unity-gain Home Theater Pass-Through, and an internal installation bay for PrimaLuna’s optional PhonoLogue MM phono module, the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier offers lifetime reliability and uncompromising musicality for any two-channel system.
Key Features & Innovations
Dual-Mono 12AU7 Tube Preamplifier Stage — the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier incorporates a pure vacuum tube front end running six 12AU7 tubes with twin dedicated toroidal transformers for extraordinary harmonic richness and soundstage depth.
High-Current JFET / MOSFET Solid-State Power Stage — engineered in partnership with Floyd Design using matched linear MOSFETs and a massive 500VA toroidal transformer, outputting 100W/ch into 8 Ohms and 150W/ch into 4 Ohms.
Point-to-Point Hand-Wired Preamp Signal Path — entire vacuum tube preamplifier circuit is meticulously hand-wired using heavy-gauge Swiss silver-plated OFC cable, Nichicon capacitors, and Takman audiophile resistors.
AC Offset Killer™ & Smart Protection Circuitry — proprietary AC filtering eliminates mechanical transformer hum caused by household power anomalies, while thermal and short-circuit protection circuits safeguard the MOSFET output stage.
Discrete Headphone Amplifier & Subwoofer Outputs — includes a dedicated 1/4-inch headphone output on the front panel alongside mono/stereo RCA subwoofer outputs on the rear chassis.
Home Theater Pass-Through & Modular Phono Bay — unity-gain HT bypass integrates cleanly into multi-channel surround setups, while an internal installation bay accepts PrimaLuna’s optional PhonoLogue MM phono board.
FAQ — PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid
What makes the EVO 300 Hybrid different from PrimaLuna's all-tube integrated amplifiers?
The PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier pairs a pure dual-mono 12AU7 vacuum tube preamplifier stage with a high-current solid-state MOSFET power amplifier stage, delivering tube warmth and imaging alongside 100W–150W of solid-state bass control with zero output tubes to replace or bias.
Can I roll or upgrade the 12AU7 vacuum tubes in the preamplifier stage?
Yes. All six 12AU7 dual-triode tubes operate automatically without manual bias adjustments, allowing straightforward experimentation with vintage NOS or modern audiophile 12AU7 variants to tailor the amplifier's tonal character.
Can I connect a turntable directly to the EVO 300 Hybrid?
Out of the box, the amplifier provides four stereo RCA line-level inputs plus one Home Theater Pass-Through input. You can easily add PrimaLuna’s optional internal PhonoLogue Moving Magnet (MM) phono module or connect any external phono preamplifier.
Does it have outputs for an active subwoofer?
Yes, the rear panel includes dedicated left and right RCA subwoofer outputs, making it easy to integrate single or dual powered subwoofers into your two-channel listening room.
