At one point I'd thought about simplifying my life by getting the Plinius 9200, trading in my tubed equipment and then just let the idea go. Wondering again, though.

Thanks,
Joe as a one time Plinius owner, do yourself a favor and sit down until the thought passes. As SS goes the Plinius equipment is very good indeed, but based on the feedback you gave me about tubes on the CJ forum a few weeks ago and the subtle nuances you so aptly pointed out, me thinks you would not be happy.

Regards, Mark
