Spend a few hundred bucks and add a 220v outlet if you can. Then convert your 9200 to 220v. Its a simple conversion you can do yourself by popping the lid and switching a wire at the power supply inlet. It was suggested to me by the old Plinius distributor and really made a + difference on my 9100 and Model 1s. The sound just came alive. Of course youll need a PC with a 220v plug.
Plinius 9200 or separates?
Trying to get a grasp of how to proceed with amplification. I have a Plinius 9200 running Totem Forest speakers. Sounds good but not incredible. Recently subbed in some 70's era Audio Research pieces (SP-6 pre amp and D52-B power amp). These have in the past had some problems with distortion but worked this time just fine. It seems like the sound came more alive with this combo although it felt like some more power was needed, especially with orchestral music. I was told by a repairman that the power amp was on its last legs. I'm considering having AR service the SP-6 and look for a new power amp.I would appreciate opinions about what power amp, tube or SS, might be appropriate. Or should I look for another pre amp as well? I know this is kind of vague but what do you think?
