Plinius or YBA?

I have the opportunity to buy either a Plinius 8200MKII or a YBA Passion Integre integrated amplifier used for approximately the same money. Both units are in great shape as I know the owner and he is getting out of high end equipment. My other equipment is a Rega Jupiter CDP, Vienna Acoustic Beethoven speakers and Acoustic Zen cables. Obviously my question is which amp to go with. I have heard many great things about both the Plinius and the YBA. I haven't found a thread that directly compares the two. What do you folks think? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently listening to a Passion Integre at home with a YBA CD1 Delta and I am comparing it to a YBA1 PRE 1 alpha "that I own" and a YBA HC Delta 1 amp.

Both have diffent sound qualities and that is subjective to your personal flavours.. I am on the fence .. But the Passion is suberbe for a price/quality performance ratio.

if you are interested you can read my quick comparison of both in another thread i started before purchasing my CD1 Delta.

Good luck with your purchase...

If you purchase the Passion Integre watch out to not short the speaker cables you will fry the transistor ouputs...

cheers.
