| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Best to ask Coda those kinds of engineering questions. Anyone in this thread could only speculate. I’m curious to hear what you find out. | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Pass seems more impressive because they are designed to. Pass sinks a lot of money into the bling factor and fancy heatsinks. Coda designs are not as pretty, but they are also cheaper. Compare also Plinius for fancy heatsinks.The 16.0 and its pred... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today Yes. FET = field effect transistor.I think the approach makes a lot of sense, especially if the 15.5 has the new input stage. Last I checked there was a used 15.5 with the new input stage on Audiogon listed for $6,600. No brainer over the No. 8. D... | |
| RCA Caps Cardas’ caps are obscenely overpriced, but here’s the technical explanation: https://youtu.be/KFciL0qjqu0.Looks like eBay sellers have plenty of options for gold- and rhodium-plated caps. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week The No. 8 has a 3 kVA Keen Ocean power transformer and 80,000 microfarads of power supply capacitance. You can order it without meters for $900 less. | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable What did you end up with here? | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today Coda has been rolling out the new FET input stage for a while now, so some 15.5 amps will have the exact same amplifier channels as the 16.0. Other differences include the increased power supply capacitance in the 16.0 mentioned above (which may o... | |
| Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC If one doesn't use Roon, how else can it control network streaming through the built-in streamer?Any opinions on the headphone amplifier version? | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Audiotroy,what are the Coda 8 amplifier specs (input impedance?) cannot find them anywhereIs there any difference as far as sound quality using balanced/unbalanced inputs?Thanks,Dan You should email Coda to confirm, but the input impedance should... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today The amplification stage of the current version of the CSIb is exactly the same as the Continuum No. 8. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today I'd email Coda to confirm, but my recommendation would be to go with V1. That's what Doug recommended for my Maggies. V1 and the 15.5/16.0 are "better suited to low-impedance speaker systems where higher current capability yields superior performa... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today If I'm not mistaken Doug at Coda was using the same Toshiba transistors that Pass Labs was. In reading your review, it sounds like they have moved away from those Transistors? Is that your understanding? @dep14, there are (at least) two main type... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week FYI everyone, Terry’s review of the 16.0 amplifier is now live: http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/coda-technologies-16.0-amplifier-by-terry-london/ | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week Which XLR cables? | |
| Focal Electra SW 1000 Be subwoofer Thanks. I decided to pass on it. Seems like it would mate very well sound-quality-wise to the Electra line, but I did not want to deal with the limited inputs and settings only selectable via remote. The lowest low pass filter setting is also 50 H... |
