My stereo system is in flux to say the least. The Vienna's have been replaced by a pair of Dynaudio 1.3 MKII's with a REL sub on the way. The Jupiter and the AZ cables remain. I had a Plinius 9100 for several months but was not pleased with the bass and mid-range. The 9100 had been replaced by a Luxman R-117 receiver until the funds for the Plinius 9200 are available (can you say tax time). Thanks for asking Warren.
Plinius or YBA?
I have the opportunity to buy either a Plinius 8200MKII or a YBA Passion Integre integrated amplifier used for approximately the same money. Both units are in great shape as I know the owner and he is getting out of high end equipment. My other equipment is a Rega Jupiter CDP, Vienna Acoustic Beethoven speakers and Acoustic Zen cables. Obviously my question is which amp to go with. I have heard many great things about both the Plinius and the YBA. I haven't found a thread that directly compares the two. What do you folks think? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
