PrimaLuna Dialogue Three Preamp Review

[Sal1950]

I don’t trust Stereophile measurements, or any other rags since they have huge conflict of interest as they are paid by these manufacturers through advertising and receive hand selected units from these manufacturers!

I mostly agree but when it comes to his measurements John wouldn't dare fudge them to any degree.
They are way too easy to replicate by Amir or anyone else with the equipment to do so.
The last thing he would ever want would be to be made to look a fool in the science community.
He already comes close enough when a product measures like crap but he turns and gives the nod to the subjective
reviewer who claims it sounds glorious in spite of all it's issues.

Exactly my point how can you give a good recommandation when a product measures like crap!!

That's their whole position.
The measurements don't count. Sighted, uncontroled listening will tell the real story.
But John isn't about to start falsifying measurement results, he doesn't have to.

Used to own an integrated from PrimaLuna but the heat was too much especially during the summer months! Also after five years I joined ASR and learned the truth!
