  plinius
The Plinius 8200 had the right pedigree, and was fairly reasonable at $3000, so I went for it.
The amp (like everything else these days) has a blue LED power indicator that flashes briefly when the amp is turned on, and another indicating whether or not the amp is muted.
The Plinius preamp doesn't seem to add anything, but sounds far superior to its cousin, the 8200.

The index to Schaefer's edition of Plinius indicates the names of all the persons to whom his extant letters are addressed.
Plinius collected his own letters, as appears from the first letter of the first book, which looks some­thing like a preface to the whole collection.
The letters from Plinius to Trajanus and the em­peror's replies are the most valuable part of the col­lection.

 Totally Wired - Plinius updated 10 Jan, 2000-   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Plinius first found success with a small 50 watt pre and power amplifier combination which outsold, and comprehensively outperformed the similarly priced UK Integrated amplifiers - virtually all of these amplifiers are still in service today and gave Plinius a solid base in the domestic market.
The Plinius 8150i and 2100i Integrated amplifiers are intended to blend the performance of the SA series power amplifiers with the capabilities of the M series preamplifiers.
Plinius are clearly concerned that the adoption of this selector knob might lead you to believe that it's ok to have both balanced and single ended cables connected to the amp at the same time and just use this knob to switch between them.

 Arthur MEULEMANS Plinius’ Fontein
Plinius’ fontein wasn’t created until sixteen years after its date of origin: on 28 April 1929 Meulemans conducted the world première in the series of ‘Flemish concerts’ at the Bourla Theatre in Antwerp.
Het slotdeel Nachtfeest is een briljant scherzo dat bij momenten uitbundig aan het walsen gaat.
Plinius’ fontein werd pas zestien jaar na ontstaansdatum gecreëerd: op 28 april 1929 dirigeerde Meulemans in de Bourlaschouwburg in Antwerpen de wereldpremière in de reeks ‘Vlaamse concerten.’ Het werd een van zijn meest uitgevoerde orkestwerken.

 Stereophile: Plinius SA-Reference power amplifier
Plinius Audio Ltd. has had a presence in North America for more than a decade, though it still is not as well known as its products merit.
In the wake of the development of the modular, multichannel Plinius Odeon home-theater amplifier, Thomson and Morrison discovered that the SA-250 Mk.IV was no longer top sonic dog in the Plinius kennel, and Morrison went to work on a significant update of it.
As Sam Tellig noted in his discussion of the Plinius SA-102 ("Sam's Space," March 2003), in most solid-state amps an NPN transistor is matched with a PNP transistor to form a matched, mirror-image pair.

 EGU - Gayus Plinius Secundus, Plinius the Old
Gayus Plinius Secundus, known as Plinius the “Old” was born in 24 B.C., in Como, in the Italian Peninsula.
Although their first works were treatises on military strategy, after the rise of Nero as Emperor of Rome, he left the army and devoted himself entirely to science.
He was appointed commander of the Roman navy at Micenum, and died the year 79 B.C., on August 24th, in the Vesuvio volcano, after climbing to observe it and take notes about the eruption that had destroyed Pompeya and Herculano.

 Page Title
The Plinius sound particularly excels at music and at the human voice, which are two of the most critically demanding types of sounds to reproduce so that they seem natural, live, and real, instead of artificially reproduced.
The circuitry of Plinius electronics has a proud heritage of excellence in achieving this naturalness for stereo systems, and now the new Odeon brings a version of this same circuitry to home theatre power amplifiers.
Note that the Plinius sound, by deviating from academically literal accuracy in the reproduction of the input signal from the too close recording microphone, winds up being more accurate--more pragmatically accurate to your knowledge and memory of the sound of live music as you heard it from your more distant concert hall seat.

 SoundStage! Equipment Review - Plinius SA-102 Stereo Amplifier (3/2003)
Plinius considers class-A operation to be lower in distortion than other operating classes.
Despite its awesome dynamic potential, the overall character of the Plinius amplifier is not aggressive or forward.
Comparatively, the Plinius SA-102 creates a somewhat detached feel, with the notes comfortably contained between and behind the speaker faces.

 AudioEnz - Plinius 8150
The Plinius 8150 ($3395) is the second integrated amplifier from New Zealand’s own house of Plinius.
The 8150 combines large parts of the preamp stage of the magnificent Plinius M16 preamp, along with circuitry very similar to that found in the Plinius class-A power amps.
The bass response of the Plinius is phenomenal, with a delicious combination of power, heft, dynamics and articulation.

Fig.1 Plinius SA-Reference, balanced frequency response at 2.83V into (from top to bottom at 2kHz): simulated loudspeaker load, 8, 4, 2 ohms (0.5dB/vertical div., right channel dashed).
Only when it came to high-frequency intermodulation did the Plinius falter very slightly, the 1kHz difference component lying at –66dB (0.05%) with the amplifier in class-AB mode driving an equal mix of 19kHz and 20kHz tones into 4 ohms just below visible waveform clipping on the oscilloscope (fig.8).

 Pliny the Elder
Pliny the Elder or Gaius Plinius Secundus (23-79): Roman officer and encyclopedist, author of the Natural history.
Gaius Plinius Secundus -or, to use his English name, Pliny- was born in 23 or 24 at Novum Comum (modern Como), a small city in the region known as Gallia Transpadana.
We do not know much about his family, except for the fact that he had a sister, and that his father was wealthy enough to be a member of the equestrian class, which means that he possessed at least 400,000 sesterces (100,000 normal day wages).

 HTGuide Forum - Plinius 8200
The PLINIUS 8150/8200 has been my integrated amplifier reference for nearly four years.
Exceptional as it still is, I noted that it recently had begun losing ground, especially compared with the stellar offerings from Rowland Research and Burmester.
Fans of the original needn¹t worry; robust dynamics, rich harmonics, and soaring frequency extension remain definitive PLINIUS hallmarks.

I was rolling the Plinius Odeon multichannel power amplifier in its wooden packing case, end-over-end up the stairs to my second-story home theater.
I've lifted a few weights in my time (although my most practiced exercise probably remains the 12-ounce curl), but I was scarcely man enough to transport the six-channel behemoth up the staircase.
The modules are based upon the design pioneered by Plinius' righteously rugged and sweet-sounding SA-102, and contain additional power filtration in addition to the basic audio circuitry.
