Thoughts on Coda gear? Any Coda owners out there?

I haven't owned many amps, but the Coda 11 in the system I'm using now sounds better than previous systems I've used w/Perreaux and Bedini amps, (I really liked the 100/100 mk II). A close friend who is using a Levinson 27 expresses big appreciation for the 11 on a regular basis. It seems like the 11 doesn't run as hot as alot of other class A amps. Anyone out there know why? Like the other guys above, I like the amp alot. I've heard more expensive amps in systems that IMO fell far short of the one here w/the Coda. This doesn't mean that the Coda 11 beats those more expensive amps. Sorry if this is remedial, but you don't listen to an amp or any other component by itself. When you put on a recording, it's played through a system (and an acoustic environment) where alot of variables influence the perception of sonic excellence or lack thereof. Anyway, the Coda stuff is good and it's probably cheaper used than some other brands that aren't as good.

Another fan of CODA here. I used to own a 10.5, sold it here on Audiogon, and regret it. I really enjoyed that amp, and didn't appreciate it until it was gone. I think for used prices, that amp was better than any other that I've had in the same price range.

I had a Continuum Stage+ for a while. I sold it on audiogon. I've been sorry ever since. Coda makes absolute top flight gear - high class A bias - sounds just super! I wish the guy I sold mine to would sell it back to me for the same amount!

Now I have a pair of Parasound HCA2200 mkII running as pseudo-monos. I have more slam, but that's all. The Continuum was a better amp than my Parasounds, better than a McCormack 0.5, better than Arcam fmj, better than nOrh LeAmps. Warm with slam and finesse to spare... and that was just the Continuum line.

Should have been a keeper.... my bad.

The Legacy amps are made by Coda.

When Threshold went under where did all the people go???
