Overview

Sharing key elements of the Odeon design aesthetic, the Plinius M8 is a stylish looker. A thick brushed aluminium faceplate (available in silver or black) with curved corners, forms one complete side of the preamplifier, meeting up on the other side with a folded over section of the lid. Strategically placed gaps in the lid and around the volume knob allow tantalising glimpses of the vivid blue painted chassis (viewable in it’s full blue glory if you flip the preamp over).

The easily read blue fluorescent display, deeply engraved Plinius logo and a volume knob are the only relief on the simple fascia. Main functions such as standby on/off, source selection, processor mode selection, phase inversion and simple menu driven access to CD mode (single-ended or balanced input), balance, balance bypass, display brightness adjustment, are handled exclusively by the chunky remote.

The remote is a substantial chunk of aluminum 27cm long x 4cm x 4cm. Although designed to be left on a tabletop it also feels good in the hand and has all the buttons well arranged for easy access.

Special mention must be made of the improved access to the processor loop. This will be particularly welcomed by long time Plinius users who in the past have had to reach around the back of their amplifiers to activate the processor loop. Now a simple push of a button on the remote does the job.

Around the back, the M8 is well equipped with four sets of single ended line inputs (there’s no on-board phono stage) plus a choice of single ended or balanced input for CD. A pair of single ended outputs, single ended processor input and a pair of balanced outputs completes the input/output suite. The ever useful Plinius ground lift switch, main power switch and IEC mains cable socket finishes the checklist.
