I used to own a Plinius SA100 and now own a Pass X350.5
What I disliked most about the Plinius was that it took forever to sound its best once switched ON. The amp did not sound its best until being left ON for well over a week. Because of that, I just left it ON all the time. That was a big waste of electricity and heat generation. If you havn't tried already, those of you with a Plinius amp should try leaving it ON for a couple of weeks, then be amazed at how much better it sounds
The Pass X350.5 is a much better sounding amp overall and will sound its best after about 6 hours. Also, Pass amps are bomb proof reliable and made in the US. If you ever have an issue, just call them. Try that with Plinius!
