THANK YOU!

We would like to thank you for choosing our PrimaLuna ProLogue Eight vacuum tube CD player as an 

important part of your music system. It is the final piece in PrimaLuna’s critically-acclaimed introductory 

line of affordable, high-quality tube products. The designers and builders of the PrimaLuna equipment 

all have a long history in high-end audio. We feel that it is time to offer a range of affordable audio 

instruments that can easily compete with today’s most expensive brands. We firmly believe that you 

will be hard-pressed to find another product on the market that meets or exceeds the level of quality 

you’ll find in this, or any other PrimaLuna product.

The PrimaLuna ProLogue Eight CD Player features:

•  SuperTubeClock

  Each coat is hand-rubbed and polished.

•  Premium parts: separate toroidal transformers for left and right channel power supply; ceramic 

tube sockets; Nichicon, Solen and Swellong capacitors; gold-plated, panel mounted output jacks.

•  Heavy-gauge, anodized, brushed aluminium remote. Controls all important CD operations.

•  Dual-mono, zero-feedback output stage using one 12AX7 and one 12AU7 per channel.

•  Vacuum tube rectified power supply adapted from the award-winning ProLogue Three preamp 

that incorporates eleven separate power supply regulation circuits.

•  State-of-the-art Burr Brown SRC4192 upsampler and Burr Brown PCM 1792 DACs.

•  Custom designed isolation transformers separate the analog and digital devices for decreased 

signal degradation and improved sonics.

•  SoftStart™ circuit for extended life of sensitive components, plus a reduced chance of tube failure 

from thermal shock.

Premium tubes are available from us and other parties if you wish to upgrade. In the USA, Upscale 

Audio’s inventory of New Old Stock tubes is the largest you can find. Elsewhere, independent suppliers 

can assist you to make the best choice.
