Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp

My question was actually for the OP in an effort to question his process.  He bought an amp and now is wondering what speakers and pre will be a great match.

IMO you want to start with your speakers and match the amp accordingly.  The amp he has can probably drive 99% of the speakers out there so the question is a bit irrelevant.  Also, no goals were stated by the OP in terms of what type of sound he desires.

So this seems to be a fairly random exchange of info.

You got the random part right.

He asked what owners of Coda amps were using for preamps. I told him what I used. What's random about that? 

I would look at a dac streamer preamp we sell naim and they make a few amazing pieces that compliment the coda amplifiers 

The Naim nsc 22 $9000 is amazing 

And tor a lower price range the older nac 272 various prices depending on age and warranty

We use this combination or the coda 7 pre.

To answer the OP’s question I use a Luxman C900U preamp with the Coda S5.5. It was what I had when I purchased the amp. I’ve been considering changing preamps myself but have to admit that the combination is pretty darn good as is. I’m sure there are probably better matches out there.
