AC OFFSET KILLER - A PRIMALUNA EXCLUSIVE

AC Offset Killer is about goose bumps. The ones you get when music comes out of a background so quiet, you may say to yourself “Just how is this possible?” PrimaLuna custom-winds our own massive toroidal power transformers that are low in hum and EMI. But we wanted more. Our engineers designed the AC Offset Killer to lower transformer noise to a place no other manufacturer dreams of going, regardless of how bad your electricity is. The result? Sense of space. Texture. The resonance of an acoustic guitar or violin string that seems to trail on forever. The AC Offset Killer will amaze you.

TAKMAN RESISTORS

If you bought a lesser amplifier, you would pay hundreds to make this upgrade. Easy to identify through their pink color, these premium resistors from Japan are popular with those who rebuild and upgrade their gear. "Modders" love TAKMAN for their low noise, linearity, and musicality.

DUAL TOROIDAL POWER TRANSFORMERS

Power transformers generate two types of noise, magnetic and acoustic. That's why toroidal power transformers are used in the very best audio products. Compared to standard transformers, toroids radiate about 1/10 the magnetic field that pollutes music and obscures detail. Additionally, the absence of an air gap typically means toroids have an 8:1 reduction of acoustic noise. As transformers are the most expensive components in any audio product, manufacturers will even house cheaper C-core and EI-core transformers in an outboard power supply box with an umbilical cable rather than upgrade to an expensive toroid. The increased cost is significant, but PrimaLuna doesn’t cut corners. All PrimaLuna products use massive, potted toroidal transformers. PrimaLuna transformers are enclosed in a metal housing and then potted in a non-microphonic resin to further reduce noise and to protect the windings from moisture and deterioration forever. They are massive, resulting in a preamp weighing a substantial 31 pounds.

TUBE RECTIFIED

In the world of preamps, experts agree that tube rectification is the gold standard. It’s quieter than solid state rectification, dropping the noise floor. And it offers the most natural, textured, and vibrant presentation because the circuit is now pure tube. But because it is expensive to implement, you’ll only find it in the top of the line models typically costing $10,000 or more. Finding a preamp using one rectifier tube is sweet. PrimaLuna goes even further using two 5AR4 rectifier tubes in a dual-mono design to present your music with a three-dimensionality that will give you goosebumps.

JAPANESE ALPS BLUE VELVET POTENTIOMETER

The best tube preamps use analogue volume controls. Not volume control chips. Look inside the most well-known brand of tube preamps and you will see a chip called a DS1666-10 Digital Resistor IC. At Primaluna, we understand the temptation to use this chip as they cost $4 each (half that in quantity!). The preamp will sound fine and be quiet, but true to “chips” it will add an electronic “sheen” to the sound. PrimaLuna prefers analogue. And we use the Gold Standard in motorized potentiometers: The iconic Alps Blue Velvet. Why? Because they track perfectly, stay quiet, and don’t sound like chips!

SUPERQUIET LINE INPUTS

Input selector switches leak noise and signals from other sources, as they never turn off the other inputs completely. And, they deteriorate with age, requiring the use of cleaners. Many are mounted on the front panel requiring long runs of wires to the back panel inputs. These wires pick up stray noise from RF and EMI.

PrimaLuna has a better way. Instead of a switch, input selection is done using premium quality sealed relays mounted in the rear where you plug in your components. When an input is selected, that relay closes giving you the best connection possible. All the other relays are left open, so noise and signals from other sources can’t leak in. The signal path is now almost non-existent, so there are no wires to pick up noise.

POINT TO POINT WIRING

You spend a lot of money on interconnects. So why have the signal go right from the RCA jacks or speaker terminals into circuit boards with copper traces so thin you can hardly see them? What’s high-end about that?

PrimaLuna employs Point to Point Wiring on all products. The entire signal path, including resistors and capacitors, is painstakingly hand wired with heavy-gauge cable by craftsman.

DUAL-MONO DESIGN

Expensive and exotic preamps always use a dual-mono design to achieve a level of imaging not possible otherwise. Most manufacturers don’t employ dual-mono because of expense. It requires two power transformers, double regulation circuits, and in fact….everything is double. In effect, dual-mono means building two discrete and separate preamps into one box. It is so expensive to build, it’s a rarity even at the highest price points. All PrimaLuna preamps are dual-mono for the ultimate in stereo imaging and a sense of space that goes on forever.

SMARTGAIN DESIGN

A preamplifier is typically not required to add any gain to your system when you are using it. It is usually lowering gain from the source you are listening to. The number one complaint from audiophiles about preamp performance is noise. So why is it that so many manufacturers design preamps with 20 to 27dB of gain? And you wonder why there is "hiss", and why tubes go noisy or microphonic? PrimaLuna preamps use SmartGain. With a gain specification of only 10.8dB, you will find your PrimaLuna preamp is as quiet as a church mouse. If tubes are less than perfect, you may never know it because they are not amplifying as "loud". High efficiency speaker owner's rejoice!

PERFECTMATCH

Another exclusive PrimaLuna feature is PerfectMatch, a circuit designed to present a perfect 100K ohm impedance to your source components. This is vitally important especially for tube source components, such as phonostages and DACs to sound their very best.

Compact 5-in-1 Trimmer for Everyday Grooming
Color: Light Black
This 5-in-1 electric trimmer is designed to simplify personal grooming by combining several functions into one small device. The interchangeable heads make it possible to switch between different tasks such as trimming the bikini line, underarms, legs, or smaller facial areas. Changing attachments is straightforward, and the design keeps the process quick without needing multiple separate tools. The trimmer feels lightweight and easy to handle, which helps with maneuvering around different areas. During use, the blades glide smoothly and tend to feel gentle on the skin, making it suitable for routine grooming. The ergonomic shape also makes it comfortable to hold for longer sessions without feeling bulky. Another practical feature is the rechargeable cordless design. After charging, the battery typically lasts through multiple grooming sessions, which reduces the need for frequent charging. Because the device is compact, it fits easily into a travel bag or gym pouch, making it convenient for trips or daily use outside the home. Cleaning and maintenance are relatively simple as well. The detachable heads can be rinsed after use, and the waterproof capability allows the trimmer to be used in the shower if preferred. This makes it easier to keep the device hygienic without much effort. For people looking for a single grooming tool that can handle multiple areas while remaining portable and easy to maintain, this trimmer offers a practical and straightforward option for everyday personal care.

Thoughtful design with multiple useful attachments
Color: Light Black
Trying this 5-in-1 trimmer for a few days made it clear that the interchangeable heads are the main highlight. Each attachment has a clear purpose, so switching between trimming areas is straightforward and doesn’t require figuring out complicated settings. The motor runs quietly and the trimming action feels consistent without snagging hair. The body of the device is lightweight and comfortable to hold, which helps when working around smaller areas that need more control. Another detail I liked is the rechargeable design, since it removes the need for disposable batteries and keeps the device ready whenever needed. After charging, it lasted through several grooming sessions before the battery indicator suggested another charge. The detachable heads rinse clean easily, which makes maintenance simple and keeps everything hygienic. It’s a compact grooming tool that manages to combine several functions in one device without feeling overly complicated.

Well that didn't last long
Color: Blue
Worked great at first, but only got it last November and it doesn't work now in April. I've cleaned it out totally and it still sounds awful. I don't know what's wrong. I mostly use this on my face every morning. It should have lasted longer.

oothbrush for My Cat and Small Dog – Gentle, Effective, and Easy to Use!
Color: Microbrush Kit, Color: Microbrush Kit
I’ve been using the Jasper Microbrush Cat Toothbrush for both my small dog and cat, and it’s hands down the best pet toothbrush I’ve tried! Here’s why I love it: Designed for Small Pets: The narrow head and tapered bristles are perfectly sized for smaller teeth. The “lip lifter” feature is genius—it really helps when my cat is being less cooperative about opening his mouth. It makes brushing much easier for both of my pets. Gentle on Teeth and Gums: The extra-soft bristles are perfect for my cat and dog, who are both a bit sensitive during brushing. I’ve noticed they’re much more comfortable with this toothbrush compared to others I’ve tried. Ergonomic and Easy to Use: The curved neck and soft-grip handle are so well-designed. It’s easy to reach the back teeth, and the non-slip handle gives me full control, even when my dog gets wiggly. Sustainable and Cost-Effective: I love the replaceable heads! It’s environmentally friendly and saves money over time. Plus, swapping the heads every few months keeps things hygienic without having to replace the entire toothbrush. Veterinary-Approved Quality: Knowing this was designed with a veterinary dentist gives me extra confidence in the product. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making it safe and effective. Great for Both Pets: I use this toothbrush for my small dog and cat, and it works equally well for both. It’s versatile and eliminates the need to buy separate brushes. This toothbrush has made pet dental care so much easier and more effective. If you have a small dog, cat, or other small pet, this is a must-have for keeping their teeth clean and healthy. Highly recommend!
