PLINIUS - My New Workplace



I've been working at Plinius for a week now - they are a small engineering firm/factory producing extremely sophisticated (and expensive) amplifiers for audio enthusiasts.

It's a good team to be working with, and I'm learning more about amplifiers and electronics on the way, all very cool, best job I've done in a while ;O)

Take a look at their website if you want to [click on the link below]

The picture is of their flagship amplifier which is enormous - 300 watts stereo, and 1000 watts as a mono block - it weighs 57 Kg's, and sells for about $NZ 18,000, yep the real audiophiles will have a pair and run them as mono-blocks - wow, and that's just the amplifier, you also need speakers and a CD player!!!

OK so you want one for Xmas, I better start saving - they only allow 25 Kg's on the plane!!!
