The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
I've had Sugden, but not Pass. My S5.5 runs cooler than the Sugden - by how much I can't exactly recall. Bottom line is the S5.5 runs pretty cool in my experience with Class-A. When I turn it off after several hours its warm to the touch, but noth... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
I also have an S5.5 and it doesn't matter which way you do it, but know that tracks that have specific right and left channel content will be reversed. Knowing that and then hearing it myself... I just couldn't do it. Those songs just don't sound ... 
Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions
I heard from Spatial yesterday after inquiring about the Raven - what I've decided to purchase - and they have 1 that isn't spoken for in the current build cycle. Those are supposed to be ready for delivery in about 8 weeks. The next build cycle i...

Totally agree, they are very, very bright. I just bought a pack of Black LED Light Dimming Stickers for less than five dollars and they work really well and don't really detract from the aesthetics of the 5.5. The pack comes with many sizes and sh...

@firefly627s Thanks for that observation/suggestion - the Backert is definitely on my very short list. I can't recall every reading anything remotely negative about the Rhumba Extreme much less the Rhythm. And it's goodness was also confirmed in t...

Thanks @minatophase3 can't wait till you get to try the Serene, Spring 3 and S5.5 all together. Hopefully it's awesome. I thought I was a tube guy but turns out I prefer SS more, but with a touch of warmth. Also, appreciate @vthokie83 @yyzsantabar...

AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
Just finding this thread as I’m new to hearing about the AGD. I see a mention of ZU Dirty Weekends above... How good/bad of a match would the Audion’s be with Klipsch Cornwall IV speakers. I currently run a Cary Audio SLI-100 (KT-150 output tubes)...
