Plinus vs. Burmester amps

There is no 1 hour warn up time for a plinius sa amp. With my Martin Logan summits in the last, 10 seconds on class a and you can tell a big difference.

Was it hot? Yeah but not too hot to touch. Plus you can leave it in a/b.

And lastly, sa-103 has about 40w of class a power while the sa ref has 100w. The rest is class ab.

I forget the actual topology reason for the plinius to sound a bit like tubes. I remember there was a plinius interview somewhere that I had read.

In my experience, plinius sa amps run well with a certain tube preamp from Cary... The slp-05. It was a fantastic match. Tube pre up top and class a solid state down low.

The difference in sound of a plinius running ab vs a is quite significant.
