The highest-power tube power amplifier in PrimaLuna's EVO range, with eight EL34 output tubes and a rating of 70 watts per channel in ultra-linear. It has triode and ultra-linear power ratings, RCA and XLR inputs and a slim remote.

The PrimaLuna EVO 400 is specified for EL34, KT88, KT120 or KT150 output tubes, so you can try different tube types.

A mono/stereo switch lets you use it as a mono amplifier, and a pair works as monoblocks.

PrimaLuna introduces the EVO 400

Why you will love it

Four output tube types

PrimaLuna lists the EVO 400-4 for EL34, KT88, KT120 and KT150 output tubes. It comes with eight EL34 tubes and six 12AU7 tubes.

Ultra-linear power is listed as 70, 72, 85 and 89 watts per channel, depending on the tube type, and triode as 38, 43, 45 and 51 watts.

Adaptive AutoBias

PrimaLuna's Adaptive AutoBias circuit sits outside the signal path. PrimaLuna says it monitors and adjusts tube bias continuously and instantly, which reduces maintenance and lowers distortion.

Built by hand

Each PrimaLuna is hand built in a heavy-gauge, fully vented steel chassis with a five-coat finish, each coat hand-rubbed and polished. PrimaLuna says the point-to-point wiring uses Swiss silver wire.

PrimaLuna uses Nichicon and DuRoch polypropylene capacitors, Philips rectifier diodes, ceramic tube sockets and gold-plated, solid-shaft WBT-style speaker terminals. The inputs are RCA and XLR, with gold-plated panel-mounted jacks.

Protection and transformers

PrimaLuna fits custom toroidal and EI-frame transformers, each fully encapsulated. Every PrimaLuna power transformer has PTP (Power Transformer Protection), which opens an internal thermal switch if the transformer overheats and restores power once it has cooled. SoftStart is there to reduce thermal shock to the tubes, and the EVO output stage has a protection relay for catastrophic tube failure.

Triode, ultra-linear and mono

PrimaLuna lists both ultra-linear and triode output power for the EVO 400 and supplies a slim remote. PrimaLuna says its remotes are for models with ultra-linear/triode switching.

All PrimaLuna EVO power amplifiers have a mono/stereo switch. In mono the speaker taps become 2, 4 and 8 ohm. In stereo they are 4, 8 and 16 ohm.

Is it right for you?

A great fit if you…

  • Want more power than the EVO 300 from a PrimaLuna tube power amplifier
  • Like to try EL34, KT88, KT120 or KT150 output tubes
  • Need XLR as well as RCA inputs
  • May add a second amplifier later and run a pair in mono

Worth knowing

  • It is a power amplifier, so you need a preamplifier for volume and source selection
  • It weighs 31 kg, so plan the rack or shelf

Build your system

Pair it with a preamplifier from the EVO range, a source and a pair of speakers.
