Why so many Plinius for sale lately

I'm impressed with my SA 100 Mark 3. Sounds very
tubey,low end detail is stellar,nmanhandles the
bass and for the price a bargin. (1500).
More than any amp I have ever known it must be a
perfect match to the pre used. It is very
high gain almost a live wire so either use a good
passive pre or a Plinius pre for best results.

Probably the one important weakness of Plinius amps is its high frequency extension which is relatively rolled off/muted, so you do not really hear the crispy sparkly sound of live instruments.

The first SA 100 did have problems with hum which was addressed I believe in the Mark III. The Mark three had two separate toridial transformers one for each channel.

Pliniophobia.

Surely we need more 14 yr old threads revived. Bravo!
