Plinius vs. McCormack

If you've got good dealers you should try to demo both the Plinius and McCormack equipment at home, which would give you a clear picture of how they work in the context of your system and room and, just as importantly, which works best given your individual tastes/preferences. Any decent dealer should allow you to do demo equipment at home, especially at this level.

I'll just say that I disagree with Mgminc's assertion above that McCormack is "more or less like Adcom" and leave it at that. The only thing I'll add is that many people who own B&Ws seem to speak highly of Classe electronics, so there may be some synergy happening there that might also be worth exploring. Best of luck.

Mgminc, you'd better duck and run! When the McCormack owners read this, you're gonna be toast!

Ahh, Twl. C'mon now. Mgminc is just as entitled as the next guy to be wrong. I'm not going to say it, but if I did say Mgminc doesn't know what he speaketh, I'd know I'd be right, because otherwise I'd change my opinion. :)

Tim said it especially well, and I also agree with Twl and Stehno-- I'll just leave it at that too. Cheers Craig.

I'm sure Mgminc was just using a "play on words". I have a McCormack amp. However, I've not heard Plinius, I have heard the Adcoms. I think Stehno put it into perspective.

Sorry, Adiorio, we sometimes get off track. I searched high and low for a "sweet" amp and the McCormack did it for me. I did mate it with a very good tube pre. Perhaps an option you might explore.
