CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED


Has anyone listened to the Coda CSIb and the Hegel H-300 integrated amplifiers? The Coda has the build quality of a Rolls Royce by looking at their interior and exterior
photos on their website. It is far more powerful than the Hegel H-300 putting out 330 watts into 8ohms and 600 watts into 4ohms. Its 2kVA toroidal transformer is twice as large as the one in the Hegel. They both weigh 55 pounds. The Coda costs $5800.00 and the Hegel costs $5500.00. Based on the reviews the Coda is warmer than the Hegel. What are your thoughts between these two models?

I heard the Hegel 300 integrated and I was surprised how good it sounded. Did not have any of the solid state lifeless sound to it. Internal dac sounded great.
I'd like to mention that if any Coda owners on this forum are within 5 hours of Rochester NY I'd love to have a chance to hear their latest control amp or any of their equipment for that matter.
Anyone who is near SE North Carolina more than happy to come here and have a listen...About 1.5 hours from Myrtle Beach or Raleigh...Just down I - 40
attention all new Coda integrated 400 wpc rms into 8 ohms and the latest
In circuitry available will be going up a bit maybe $500
But worth every penney ,built like a tank,musical and excellent parts
Quality,very natural timber,with a nice warm balance.
I heard 2 year old model.new ones even better with even better control and Bass even into a 2 ohm load ,also pure class A biasing can be requested up to the first 10 watts.
