Has the Plinius 9200 been reviewed?

The new integrated ? There was a review in HiFi News & RR (UK) by Martin Colloms.

He concluded that the amp is medicore at best, and he is the guy who usually knows what he is talking about.

Yes, check May, 2004 issue of HI FI Review.

I receive the Plinius newsletter which is distributed by Plinius to Plinius owners periodically. In the last issue Plinius director Gary Morrison essentially said that he did not understand why the 9200 received such a negative review. He suggests that the review sample was either not sufficiently run in or was not given time to warm up. As all Plinius owners are aware the amps take time to run in and also perform best when left continually powered up. I've not heard the 9200 however I simply cannot believe that this amp is as bad as Mr Colloms says.

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. Though I cannot say why that particular review had the results it did - I can only say that the price-to-performance ratio of the 9200 is among the best of any gear I've encountered.
