@laginz soundstage is wider and there is increased front to back depth, but depending on the recording of course. In my case, I was hoping the soundstage would go beyond the left and right speakers. It was always between the speakers. Unfortunate...

@gryphongryph totally will do. I have a hunch the Supratek+Coda would be great match but I hope my hunch is true!

@vthokie83 that sounds like it going to be killer combo wise! I’ll be getting my Coda S5.5 next week. It will be: source-->Supratek Signature Grange preamp/phono-->Coda S5.5-->Coincident Super Victory IIIs.
