CODA 8 V1

Just bought a used Coda 8 V1   Wow am I impressed. Could someone answer a question that the instructions don't address, or I missed it.  It has to do with the meter lights. I'm sure it has to do with the sensitivity of the meters. They give you an option of pressing the button ( on each side)  to give you a green light or an orange light,  flanking it on either side is a bright blue light that indicates the unit is operating correctly.  Could someone just clarify what the pressing of the button does, whether choosing green or orange? thanks so much!!! What a great amp!!!!!! Robert Tn

BTW, while on the subject, again not heard every CODA pre but while I really can appreciate the amps I gravitate to more juicy or colorful pres. Conrad Johnson, Luxman, etc. over either CODA or Pass.

Don’t worry about class a or a/b. Coda is excellent. There’s barely any difference with Pass or Coda when these amps transition out of Class A. 

 

I haven't heard every Pass or every Coda, but my experience with Pass and the Innersound (made by Coda) amps is nothing like this.  To my ears these amps sounded worlds apart and the Pass amps more fussy about which woofers they play well with. 

I'm not going to argue who makes a better amp, just saying that to my mind a switch from Pass to Coda can make a lot of sense for the right listener and speakers.   I do agree that the class A, A/B issue is ridiculous, especially  here. Pick what you like to hear.
