Thoughts on Coda gear? Any Coda owners out there?

Hey guys!!

Alright! I've owned Coda gear for some time now; and have loved it!! It has all of the trademarks of Krell, and Classe gear, at a slightly lower price, slightly.... I think the build quality and parts quality are second to none! But I never hear about Coda in the audio news, nor do I see any furher advancements in model release other than the genberation 3 gear which came out last year.

Does anyone out there use Coda gear, and am happy with it like I am? Or am I only one of the few? I noticed that you don't see alot for sale; my thinking is that people like it so much, they keep it!?

Any thoughts, views or feedback from current or former Coda owners please advise.

Thanks!

I haven't owned many amps, but the Coda 11 in the system I'm using now sounds better than previous systems I've used w/Perreaux and Bedini amps, (I really liked the 100/100 mk II). A close friend who is using a Levinson 27 expresses big appreciation for the 11 on a regular basis. It seems like the 11 doesn't run as hot as alot of other class A amps. Anyone out there know why? Like the other guys above, I like the amp alot. I've heard more expensive amps in systems that IMO fell far short of the one here w/the Coda. This doesn't mean that the Coda 11 beats those more expensive amps. Sorry if this is remedial, but you don't listen to an amp or any other component by itself. When you put on a recording, it's played through a system (and an acoustic environment) where alot of variables influence the perception of sonic excellence or lack thereof. Anyway, the Coda stuff is good and it's probably cheaper used than some other brands that aren't as good.
