I have to disagree with the above statement that "the Plinius is a pain if you need service." I have a Plinius 8200, and, although not the same as the SA 100, I have had very good experiences with the US service - very accessible, good work and a quick turnaround. Also, until about a year ago, all their equipment came with a ten year transferable warranty.
amp preference...Plinius or Pass labs
Greetings- Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous post- very informative answers- Basically I am writing to ask opinions/preference on the following amps- I am debating either the Plinius SA 100 MKIII and the Pass Labs x250- they will power a set of Vienna Acoustics Beethoven- preamp is an integrated Arcam AVR100 - Ive heard the Pass labs amp on the Viennas and love the clean, musical sound- just wondering how the plinius is likely to compare
