Whatever, the doubters obviously have not done much work on amps to see it. (can't see the forest for the trees)

Not true. Fact is most techs (I’m a EE) wouldn’t make any such assumptions without knowing more about the internals and specifically what components are used to populate the circuit boards - sheesh! Those images tell us very little. iPhone models tend to look somewhat similar too if you ignore important details but ...... |
Fact is most techs (I’m a EE) wouldn’t make any such assumptionsIf you read what I said. "Fact is any tech will tell you these amps "look" to be the same" save for the differences I mentioned. Look!!!! to be the operative word here. Like I said you need to see the forest for the trees. And "if" your a decent EE if you could see that it so obvious, as they look to have the same circuit topology. |
New CODA CSiB @ 6.5K has same topology and components as the newish No. 8, with I suspect (have not seen under the hood) a bit of the older CODA preamp thrown in. 150/300/600 watts into 8/4/2 ohms 3Kv transformer, 75/100 amps of current 1st 18 watts in Class A Runs warm but not hot unless REALLY driven Would like to see/hear the integrated that beats it under 10K for sound and build, although I am willing to concede for high efficiency speakers in smaller rooms it might be a bit of overkill, and the fact it may not be the flavor you prefer (unless you have a tube preamp to season to taste). |
New CODA CSiB 1st 18 watts in Class A Wow!! Very nice unit, even looking at this one can see what amount of heat sinking is required. https://img.audiofanzine.com/images/u/product/normal/coda-continuum-csib-192198.png https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0241/4615/products/CODA_High_End_CSiB_Preamp_Amplifier_Best_Sound_... And uses 40!!! bi-polar outputs, best for current delivery. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0241/4615/products/CODA_High_End_CSiB_Preamp_Amplifier_Best_Sound_Inside_1024x1024.jpg?v=1395188394 Coda CSX Precison Bias Class A/AB amplifier design, with discrete JFET differential input stage, VMOSFET voltage gain DC coupled to an ultra wideband bipolar output stage. I just changed from Pass Inter-60 to this. And maybe even from my favorite Integrated Gryphon Diablo 300. Cheers George |
