Plinius SA250 or Gamut D200


Hi,

I'm looking for others opinion on these 2 amps, I have heard the Gamut D200 with the Dynaudio 1.3SE and found it to be very neutral but laking warmth that I'm used to, I'm also thinking of the Plinius SA250 as it is a Class A amp and it gives me the impression that it would have the warmth I'm looking for.

Please tell me what you think both of them?

Thanks,
Satyam.

Buy the Plinius - Not only will it sound better than the Gamut, the company has a stronger presence and existance in the market - which usually has a direct correlation to quality of customer service.

By the Way - I use a CJ Sonographe 400 with Dynaudio S1.4 with a Supratek Syrah and Jolida CDP, RegaP25 TT, Denon 103. The sonographe400 is a similar amp to yours (might be a little bigger) - I'm actually not quite sure if either are "better" than the other... Neither myself, nor anyone who'se ever heard my system felt it was lacking warmth - warm recordings really come off as warm recordings... Though the Supratek preamp really is something unique...
I have a plinius sa-100iii and like it a lot. Very warm and musical for ss. I understand the sa-250 is not only more powerful, but better sounding. Buy it.
I have owned both amplifiers and they sound very different indeed!

The Plinius has a dark sonic signature - considerably darker than real life, but a powerfull, fullness to its sound. The imaging floats in the middle.

The Gamut has a truer sonic signature, less of a viel between the music and listner, and a bit quicker attack of the music. The bass is fair, but not as powerfull as the plinius. The imaging is awesome - layered and detailed soundstaging - among the best in the world.
