Moscode 401 HR vs. 402 au vs. Butler TBD 2250

I would be interested in feedback from members on the comparison between any 2 or 3 of the above products.

1. Is the 402au a worthwhile step up from the 401HR or is the "goldplated circuit board" a marketing gimic?

2. Has anyone compared either the 401HR or 402au with Butlers creation? Are you able to share your thoughts around this?

I have an interest right now in hybrid power amplification of around 200wpc to drive planar speakers.

I don't know if it's a marketing gimmick or not, but as good as the 401HR is, the 401au is better IMO.

I have heard the 401HR in comparison to the Butler 2250 and to me it's a toss up. They both are very nice amps. I think the Moscode has a slight edge in tonal balance and overall presentation, especially sound staging and high end frequency reproduction. However, if you need a little extra power the Butler might be the better choice.
