Former Plinius 9200 owners.......

All I can say is that I am very happy with my Plinius 9200. I used to have a Conrad Johnson tube system and the Plinius gives up nothing. It is very powerful and has brought my Proacs to life. It almost sounds more tubelike than some tubes I've heard because it is so smooth. That coupled with no loss of resolution. A superb piece.

I have owned the Plinius 8100, 8150, 8200MKI, 8200MKII, and now own only the 9200. In my opinion the 9200 is easily the most magical model of the lot. I would also give the nod to the 9200; as compared to the sonics of the Plinius cd-lad and sa-100mkIII pre/amp combo.

I think the particular nature of the high-ender AUDIOPHILE AND GEAR-LOVER (let's use the right terminology for once) makes it an absolute must that a design be good-looking, and at least, inspire refinement. Have you looked at this 9200 amp? Points should be given to Plinius for originality, but otherwise, it is pretty ugly. Totally subjective of course, and I may be totally off the track, but big-buck gear need to INSPIRE.!!! Still, I would love to get my hands (and mostly ears) on one and see if the reality of it all matches the reputation.

I am now 3 weeks into listening to my 9200. So far I am quite impressed and it is nowhere near broken in. I will post more in a few weeks.

Hey Jwu42,

Any further impressions of Plinius 9200?

Thanks
