question to Plinius Amp owner

Just curious to know what is the sounding difference you experience when you switch between class A and class AB? I guess this comparison might be more objective since the rest of circuit is the same except the bias. Can you confortably draw the conclusion that class a mode is better in every aspect ?
Thanks!

Lak & Danderson,
I'm not questioning your opinions but just a little bit confused. If what you said are ture, then it makes me wonders why Plinius bother to add a AB mode switch there ?

Easy, AB mode = less heat and less electrical comsuption, AB mode is fine for casual listenings, for example.

I usually listen to AB also however if I'm doing critical listening I always use A.

AB= cool to the touch.
A= hot to the touch.
There also seems to be more PRAT associated with A.

In class A the Plinius it dissect the inner detail
of the music,more emotions,instrument sounds more
palpable,soundstage opens up and more.I agree with
Lak and opinions above.Remember it takes an hour
to hear the differrence between Class A and ClassAB.
