Coda 8 amp


My 25 year old Audio Research VT130SE amp is going in for repairs. I’ve already replaced the tubes in the last year and had to replace some defective ones a second time (all came from Audio Research). I’m thinking about replacing it with a new solid state amp. so I don’t have to deal with such things. I’m considering the Coda 8, which I’ve never seen but comes highly recommended. It’s a fairly new model and I haven’t found lots of information. There’s one very positive review online, the company has been very responsive and helpful  in providing information and a dealer who I trust recommended it. My other equipment includes Audio Research LS22 preamp, PH 3 phono stage and KEF Reference 5 speakers. I would like to keep these things so I’m hoping a new solid state amp would go well with my other equipment.  I’d welcome any input, including experience from any Coda owners. Thanks.

@robshaw, no there is no A/B switch. The dual speaker terminals are for biwiring.

@yyzsantabarbara, how do the Wotan and #16 compare in sound quality and what is the rest of the chain with which you have used them?

@brownsf Have you considered trying a Naim Supernait? A friend of mine has a Naim integrated with KEF Reference towers and they have amazing synergy.
