question to Plinius Amp owner

Just curious to know what is the sounding difference you experience when you switch between class A and class AB? I guess this comparison might be more objective since the rest of circuit is the same except the bias. Can you confortably draw the conclusion that class a mode is better in every aspect ?
Thanks!

I usually listen to AB also however if I'm doing critical listening I always use A.

AB= cool to the touch.
A= hot to the touch.
There also seems to be more PRAT associated with A.

In class A the Plinius it dissect the inner detail
of the music,more emotions,instrument sounds more
palpable,soundstage opens up and more.I agree with
Lak and opinions above.Remember it takes an hour
to hear the differrence between Class A and ClassAB.

Class A in the morning, I can cook my eggs and bacon while listening to music without going back and forth to the kitchen.

Sorry, it's a snowed in kinda day here.

because of this 1hour I usually hear in AB....because there's so little time to here to music, unless I left on class A for 1hour and then listen..(why not ?)

CDMA,
to answer your question IMHO the diffence in AB is it sounds like a very good 2 channel system playing in your room, in class A it sounds like very good musicians are playing in your room.
