WTD: Plinius/Karan integrated or Gamut D200

[hifinutt]

there has been a debate about these amps and why they don`t sell . they are very well priced products . missing link , who are well known and sometimes go to wam show are dealers

you have to ask yourself if you can sell them when you want to sell .

sometimes with hifi you have to go with whats readily available . I love verity audio speakers but they are almost impossible to get at reasonable money so I have to look elsewhere i.e other speaker manufacturers

Thanks Phil, wise words!

The seller has quoted 75 euros for shipping insured, thinking about it. Going to look into costs of servicing/recapping tonight but seems a good price if in good order

I suppose the million dollar question is whether it is significantly better than a newer Parasound A21 or a another to warrant to effort and risk of buying from abroad...

See if you can get a translation of the listing...there is a bit about guarantee or lack of it.
If the original box and packaging are there it should survive the journey
ATM there is no service/repair backup and the UK dist is dicking me about but I have another possibility for service
You should listen to mine to see if if it appeals...you could even bring your own speakers (standmount??)
The world is full of amps we have not and cannot hear!!

Very much appreciate the opportunity to listen to yours first, will pm you if ok. I translated using google and have asked if the 12 month warranty will apply. No response yet.

Went for the safe bet - A Plinus Hautonga from Audio Emotion that went up for sale yesterday. Comes with 6 months warranty so more comfortable with that. Thanks to all that chipped in, it's taken me a while!

We all expect detailed pics in the Gallery quite soon

glad you are sorted for now , heard a plinius integrated at wam show and it was good . better bet than buying from germany methinks

Just accepting the consequences, wife doesn't understand paying so much money for a second hand item. Only analogy I could think of is cars; I prefer a used 911 to a brand new MX5. She's not having it!

Most of us just lie through our teeth !!!
