@tmac1700, what did you end up doing here?  
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
That is a very hot, heavy and expensive alarm clock! :)  
Which Line Level, Balanced Preamplifier?
When you say you want a deep, wide soundstage that immediately makes me think of tubes. I don’t have experience with tube preamp separates, so would defer to others that have written about them. If you want a fully balanced solid-state preamp tha... 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
It seems pointless to use an RM20 for the Coda because the Coda’s power transformer is larger than the one used in the Torus (2,400 VA in the RM20 vs. 3,000 VA in the Coda 16.0).    If you can put the Coda on its own dedicated 20A circuit that is... 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
Let us also not forget that teajay raved about the Coda #16, bought the review unit (which was the first unit produced by Coda), and then sold it earlier this year due to monetary constraints:  The Coda #16 (with meters) retails for over ...

How do the Plinius SA-103 and the AVA FET400 compare to the #16? I loved the SA-103 when I demoed at a dealer, and haven’t heard an AVA amp.

I’ve been reading about the outboard power supply upgrade for the 07x for two or more years now, but have seen no concrete evidence of it nor heard any rumblings from Coda themselves. I wouldn’t hold my breath.

It’s worth noting that the Krell i400 is set to retail for $35,000 for the stereo version and $70,000 for monoblocks. One could buy two Coda 16.0s without meters for $26,000 MSRP and run them in bridged mode to get 600/1200W at 8/4 ohms, respectiv... 
Coda Class A Amplifiers
What makes the Coda 16.0 that much more expensive and heavier than the #8? I believe I read they both have a 3000 VA transformer. Thanks!   @audiobrian, the expense is due to the power supply and output transistor complement. The No. 8 has 80,... 
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
The bleed through is likely a common issue on all the 07x's. Mine has it and also another A'goner who was DM'ing me on the CODA 07x has the same issue.This is most certainly not the case. Coda mentioned that this issue has affected a handful of co... 
looking for a quality BNC female to RCA male adaptor
What did you end up using here? 
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
wturkey, what sources were you using and on which inputs when you noticed the bleed? I’ve only ever used the Balanced 1 input, but if two users are getting source bleed that implies some issue with the relay implementation right? Unless you were b... 
Sources for Focal 1038Be II
Wait: is there really a Focal 1038Be 2? how is that different from a Focal 1038Be?See posts from @avhifidelity above. There is not a BE I and BE II version of the Focal Electra 10x8 line. The entire Electra 10x8 line is referred to as “BE II”, as ...

Like its predecessors, it’s bridgable to 600/1200W RMS at 8/4 ohms, respectively.

@smodtactical, a simple phone call to the company would do you a world of good, instead of the quickfire posts on this and other Coda topics. Doug is very open about topics like this.
