OK now Christmas is over, and its time to make a 2019 Year of the Pig bump!
Actually over the holidays I installed this pre amp back into the system for a listen, and I started to question myself about leaving it there and selling the Plinius instead. I even listed the Plinius on USAudiomart.
However, I reinstalled the Plinius this week, and it does barely squeak out a win over the Edge, but not by much. It does allow me to use balanced interconnects, which I happen to have some very nice ones on hand. But the Plinius MSRP was $11,200 with the Edge being $4,300. The Edge certainly wins the value per dollar comparison, especially for what I am selling it for. Conrols and output configuration is a bit basic, but the sound quality is top flight, with transparency, detail, texture, and a bottom end that is fantastic!
This really is an excellent pre amp.
