Coda vs Parasound


 Anyone possibly have experience with the Coda #8 vs the Parasound JC5 ? Any thoughts appreciated. Possibly considering one of these 2 to replace my current amp which is fine but growing old,....

@speedthrills   - Since you brought up the criticism on 2 threads I'll re-post what I did on the other one 

Aside from Terry London's (teajay's) reviews below are some others over the years provided by Google 

Here's one from Doug Schroeder @ dagogo

@facten Thanks for the links. I learned a few things about Coda in these reviews. What's amazing is the newest review you listed is 7 years old. Considering how good their amplifiers are it is pretty amazing they don't have more current reviews.

Lots of votes for the Coda.

1 more vote for the Coda s5.5, speaking as an owner. That treble is to die for. If you know you know. Saxophone sounds especially magnificent. Metallic yet smooth with unusual clarity for a class A.

Forgive my small pool of experience, all the mid tier class A I've heard sounds great but lacking in treble clarity among other things. Not the Coda S5.5!!

It's also very cool for a class A. Rehular room temp. Say 70F, the Coda will barely get warm after multiple hours.

 

@willywonka  Yep I realize they are older reviews but just wanted to show speedthrills that there were some to be found aside from Terry's relatively more recent ones.
