| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! firefly627s, The CODA S5.5 just arrived and installed today, I just turned it on all day and left it to settle in with no listening.....I'll do a little of that tomorrow. The Caladan's are only a little over a week old, but sounding great. I did ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! iovi66, Fair point about the input impedance on XLR. I've already had this conversation with Aric Kimball of Aric Audio, who is building a Motherlode XL preamp for me. He is modifying it to work with the low impedance of the CODA S5.5.....I belie... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! My CODA S5.5 just showed up late yesterday, and I unpacked it this morning. What a gorgeous beast it is, mine is silver with gold buttons (both are available choices). It is moderately heavy but actually manageable, huge heat sinks, oozes quality,... | |
| Audioholics Audiophilliac (Steve Guttenberg), John Darko, I'll also throw in Tarun at A British Audiophile, OCD Mikey if you can put up with the yelling and that he is a dealer, Dannie Ritchie at GR-Research, Ron Brenay New Record Day. I may not like all I he... | |

| Replacement for Shindo +1 for Aric Audio. Give Aric Kimball a call, he's a great guy to talk to and will be honest with his opinions; and builds extraordinary equipment. Not sure how it compares to the Shindo equipment, but I've never seen a negative review on any of hi... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Owain, Did he mention anything specific? I found several things when I searched YouTube for 10HZ audio | |
| Flexible Power Cords DHLabs several choices, Ice Age Audio OFC "Frankencable" $260 1 meter - $380 3 meter, Anti-Cables Level 3 $330 1 or 1.5 meters - $490 3 meters (Anti-Cables has a 20% sale on power cables through 2/29 with code LEAP20PC).....I just ordered 2. | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage Hegel H190. New ones can be found for about $2,800 if you search a bit (I found it at 2 sites), down from $3,900. Built in streamer and DAC (that is pretty good), 2 x 150 WPC, RCA and XLR analog inputs, good number of digital inputs, very highly r... | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system If you can stretch to $1,850 you can get a new Denafrips Pontus II 12th. If not then you can get a used Pontus II for about $1,300. The Denafrips products all have upgradeable firmware that is released free of charge, so updates are released once ... | |
| Seeking Budget CD Player Suggestions If money is the major concern. The Onkyo C-7030 is a really good entry level CD player for the $250 it costs. If he has a DAC, the Audiolab 6000CDT is an excellent entry level CD transport (no DAC) | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Well I will make sure to have my Depends on then. I truly am very excited, the Caladans bass continues to open a bit more each day.....and I think the Aric Audio and CODA pieces will truly be a magical grouping | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan knocck1, Looking forward to hearing your review when you get your speakers | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan Tweak1, Will probably wait until 100 hours or so before messing with placement, I want the speakers broken in before playing around too much | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan dz13, I certainly agree with your point, speaker placement and room treatment are going to be important. The only issue is that Clayton did not provide any placement thoughts with the speakers, and the only first hand account I can find is the on... |
