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 nal piece in PrimaLuna’s
critically-acclaimed introductory line of affordable, high-quality tube products. The design-
ers 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 rmly believe that you will be hard-pressed to nd
another product on the market that meets or exceeds the level of quality you’ll nd in this,
or any other PrimaLuna product.
The PrimaLuna ProLogue Eight CD Player features:
