Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
Coda 11, Schiit Tyr, JC5 or ???
Poured over the forums but seeking repl. for Rogue Medusa. Sold my Parasound 5ch beast and had regrets at the sale-demo. Miss the gutteral full bass. I'm done with ClassD. It's got detail but lacking fullness Want more musicality and like a good soundstage and prefer ClassA/AB. Tried tube rolling. Max budget $4k new or used considering Coda 11, JC5, Kinki M7, or new Schiit Tyr pair. All in budget used. Recent Tyr favorable review in Absolute Sound. Need power for pairing with 4-Ohm CSS towers with Audible Illusions L3A pre.
Appreciate opinions?

@adamsherman What class D amps were you listening to? I’m finding them to be more similar to AB these days. Personally I’m using Orchard Audio ganfet amps and enjoying the synergy with tube preamp. For solid state I have Schiit Aegir monoblocks which are very good Schiit has a new dual mono amp called Wotan. Worth trying with their 15 day return window. |
THANKS ALL for the input. **UPDATE- Ended up w/ Schiit Tyr monoblocks for reasons of pwr efficiency, USA, new, warranty, discounted and mag-reviews. WOW, seriously WOW! Such a huge system improvement into true hifi, nuanced, gutteral, soooo toe-tapping musical. Every track sounds like new and your own personal concert. Realism, soundstage, gut-punch, black background. The CSS Typhon's need current and the Tyr's deliver in spades. The mono separation really delivers on L/R and somewhere in between, exactly, -right there! (pointing). When your wife, who listens to a laptop, says she cannot believe it and it's the "biggest improvement to the system ever" is shocked and wants to help pay for them.(!?) I'm kind-of freaking out on the difference. I finally have a system that takes me into the level I hear at the shops and shows. I can't say they're the best out there compared to Coda or JC5 but my system is so leveled up I'm truly shocked. $3k feels like an absolute bargain. |
