Any Coda owners out there?


I have seen some nice-looking gear on the web by Coda. Formerly Threshold designers apparently. Can anyone comment on the sound and quality of Coda products? also have to wonder about the viability of the company, as it has very few dealers.

I have an unmodded Coda #16 amplifier in my reference system.  I am most pleased with the sound.  Powerful, dynamic, crystalline, and spacious.  The downside is that, like my Pass Labs amps, they are 110# so u risk herniation your lumbar spine every time you move them.  They run mostly class A but do not get very hot.

Based on sonics and with direct extended listening experience with over 25 amps I have owned, the Coda #16 sits at the top of the list.  If the LSA Voyager GAN had more low end heft and meat on the bones, it would be near the top as well.

To be honest Coda #8 V2 was one of the least favorite amps I've owned.  I mean it was hard to fault on technical merits, but the tone was just off to me.  Unnaturally glassy IIRC.  I tried to adjust but it just gave me an uncomfortable feeling every time I listened to it.  Just not a good match for me and my system, but I could see/hear why people love it.

CODA is some great gear. I owned the latest 07x preamp and the #8 amp and a 2019 version of the CSiB integrated. I sold all of this because I am down to my office system which I wanted to be Benchmark. However, very soon in 2023 I am going to do a coin flip between the CODA #16 (no meters) or a KRELL KSA i400 for my new Livingroom speakers. The CODA #16 is better than the #8 and one of my all-time favorites. 

I am very familiar with Coda. They are under new ownership.You can e-mail a fella by the name of Steve who is V.P. of Coda. E-mail adress is coda-continuum.com. I own a Coda 2.5 power amp which is a fabulous 25watt pure class A solid state. It is warm and sweet at the same time. Nothing harsh about this unit. The pre-amps are a perfect match for the 2.5's. I could go on and on but e-mail me with more specifics about your system. www.rstbb1@aol.com
Can't coment on the sound the only place on the web i've seen any Coda is through Legacy-audio.
