Herman van den Dungen: PrimaLuna  in Italian language is "First Moon". My grandfather was the
first "Herman". My grandmother, an aristocratic lady in a small Dutch village, had a special name for
her husband: "Maantje", which means Little Moon (which is now also the name of our small dog),
van den Dungen. The people in the village adopted that name, and having a strong accent, they soon
called him "Maontje" van den Dungen. My father's first name was Cor, but in the village it was of
course "Cor from Maontje van den Dungen". I was of course "Herman from Cor from Maontje van
den Dungen" ...... etc. That's why I thought of First Moon as a brandname and that's why the logo is
how it is ......
Loris Arrigucci: PrimaLuna  believe it or not ... I discovered a small town located 50Km north of
Milano called Primaluna!!! Please get yourself a map from Italy. You'll find Primaluna town near the
upper-right corner. It is located 50Km north of Milano near the Lake of Como. This should eliminate
every doubt regarding "italian" origin of Primaluna name. I've read the "history" section of the
Primaluna village web site and found the following (literally translated):
One probable interpretation of the name of the village comes from latin "Primum Lumen", which
means "First Light" of Christianism, since the very first evidence of Christianism in this region dates
495 Annus Domini. "First Light" translates into "Prima Luce" in Italian and this seems very interesting
to me: PrimaLuce (FirstLight) is the first light that we, hi-fi lovers with small budgets, can see in this
world of darkness populated by way too expensive esoteric gears ......

    Some preamplifiers invert the audio signal. In that case you might want to connect the positive(+)-wire of your loudspeaker cable to the 0 Ohm terminal of the DiaLogue Five, and the negative (-)-wire to the 4 or 8 Ohm terminal; do so on both channels. When in doubt, consult the preamp's manual or ask the manufacturer of the preamp.

    It's okay to have fun, and we support that, but don't go crazy and swap tubes in and out twenty times in a day. • Do not leave the amplifier on 24 hours a day. Just a short warm-up is required for the PrimaLuna to get into its groove. •...

    “pop” and excitement. Furthermore, the PrimaLuna is equipped with SoftStart™, which brings the amplifier on line slowly to prolong the life of internal components, including the tubes. This makes the PrimaLuna a joy to own Triode Mode and operate.
