Plinius vs. McCormack


I have a pair of B&W speakers-CDM 9NTs. I'm looking at either the Plinius 8200P amp with a Plinius CD LAD preamp or a McCormack DNA225 amp with a McCormack RLD1 preamp. Any thoughts?

I have a Plinius 8200 Mk II integrated (much improved over original). Ir has dynamic And punch....while having warmth but you would not mistake it for a tubed amp. I am considering a move to check out a McCormack DNA in my system (soliloquy 5.3 floorstanding speakers). Just waiting for a great price on a used DNA revised or one of the newer generation ones like the 250.
mccormack amps are one of the best deals on the used market.the d225 can be had for about 1500.00.no solid state amp at that price can match it.
for about 3000.00 steve mccormack will upgrade it to world class,topping amps that cost 10x as much.

Adcom vs. McCormack? HA, wow that is one strech.. There is not a SINGLE Adcom capable of even coming close to a McCormack amp of any line they have put out sorry.

But anyway Plinius is a nice amp, but its a bit dry and pricey, I had one vs. a CODA class A amp, the Coda was easily on top.

Plinius vs. McCormack could really depend way more heavily on the absolute system synergy and speaker its driving.

Disclaimer I own none of this equipment anymore or these brand names. But for the record the Adcom was the bottom of the heap :-)
No more edit either on this new audiogon huh?

Anyway I realized typing too fast I missed the second "t" in stretch above.
