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

Doug Dale took my old Coda on trade against a new one.  Of the models that they offer, he recommended the No 8 V1 for my Von Schweikert speakers.  I went with his recommendation. I wasn't looking at their amps costing a lot more. 

@robshaw I like them.  They're probably my last pair of speakers unless they crap out before I do, or I win the lottery (not likely since I don't buy lottery tickets). 

@gochurchgo I don't know what is meant by dry.  As opposed to wet?  I find no faults with my Coda.  If someone's system is dry, I would suspect that the issue is not the Coda.  

I'm talking amplifiers.  I haven't heard their preamp. 

@erik_squires I share your opinion of tube preamp paired with a solid state amp.  I haven’t used a solid state preamp since my NAD1300 which was a very long time ago.  My Linear Tube Audio MicroZotl tube preamp isn’t overly warm, but enough so that I think it warms things up a bit.  I like the combination. I guess what is meant by "dry" would be similar to what I would call "cold or thin".
