GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
Hey kairosman,Congrats! I'm really glad you are enjoying your #8 amplifier. It's really a wonderful piece and a very reasonable price.

Hey tonnesen,In the past I had tried the Sander's Magtech on my MG-20's. It drove them easily, but I found the overall sound somewhat dry and the imaging was not as 3D as my Pass Labs amplifiers.I believe that Coda as the OEM supplier to Sander en... 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
Hey smodtactical,Just read this thread and the one on the #8 and it concludes that both are superlative, but the #16 is better or read my original review at Stereo Times for the same conclusion. 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
Hey smodtactical,I know you are. Excellent amplifier but not in the league of Coda's new generation of amplifiers. 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
Hey mapman,I have 20 amp dedicated circuits and have no problems tripping the circuit breaker turning on any amplifier. I never turn off the #16 and it draws around 230 watts and runs cool for a Class A design. So, I would not call the #16 a "gree...

Hey twoleftears,No, the Magnus amplifier is the solid state division of Canary Audio. I have reviewed a couple of their pieces (DAC/amplifier) which were very good along with their superlative tube gear. However, this has nothing to do regarding t...

Hey laaudionut,Congrats! I’m sure you are enjoying your new "baby". In another thread on the #16 I tried to explain the difference between the Pass Labs XA-60.8’s and the #16. I still think the XA-60.8’s are wonderful amps, but I like the Coda #16...

Hey markusthenaimnut,Even if you do not exceed the class A rating of the #8 you still get an overall higher level of fitness /polish to the overall sonic presentation with the #16 amplifier. It takes the already wonderful level of performance of i...

First, mapman the Coda website definitely needs to be up dated, if you want all the information on specs just call or Email Doug Dale and he will provide the information you are seeking.Secondly, on to smodtactical questions:I own Pass Labs XA-60....

Hey Lance,So glad to hear that your "sore back" was worth it because of how much you are enjoying the #16! The #16 is completely grainless with an overall liquidity, is the quietest SS amp I have ever had in for review (that's way you are hearing ...

Hey smodtactical,Great question. My explanation would be two fold: 1) Coda does not seek reviews where you have to buy advertising or other types of incentives to have a review done. 2) Coda is beloved and sells tremendous amounts of their gear in... 
The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC
Hey arafiq,No worries.Since, I don’t care about handling hi-res formats-only care about Redbook, and have validated for myself that if you drive the Balanced Pagoda single-ended you take away some of it’s "magical" performance. Driven single-ended... 
A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar
Hey mitch2,If you go to SPL's website and look up the reviews on the Volume 2, it will take you to the Six Moons review where there are numerous pictures of the inside of the device and descriptions of the components used in its circuit. 
A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar
Hey George,I have had the Goldpoint in-house historically, performed OK, not as good as the Volume 2 for about the same money. Also because the Volume 2 is active/buffered, there's no concern about impedance matching and its just as quiet as a tot... 
The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC
First: To answer arafiq's questions. 1) If you can't run the Balanced Pagoda, balanced it will not give you its best performance.2) I have reviewed both the Orchid and the Tubadour III SE. If you can afford the up charge of $1000 for the Audio Mir...
