CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED

attention all new Coda integrated 400 wpc rms into 8 ohms and the latest
In circuitry available will be going up a bit maybe $500
But worth every penney ,built like a tank,musical and excellent parts
Quality,very natural timber,with a nice warm balance.
I heard 2 year old model.new ones even better with even better control and Bass even into a 2 ohm load ,also pure class A biasing can be requested up to the first 10 watts.

I am glad I could be of assistance. I am hoping to get my unit or Oct.
Best of luck to you Audiozen.

I was moving towards the Coda then had the chance to hear the Hegel
H200 ,personally I feel as well as the dealer and his staff a more natural sounding amplifier. Vs the coda the coda has more power ,and has very good dynamic drive a bit warmer then neutral a very nice integrated.
Everyone situation will vary from other sources, some speakers
Have a warm resonance,on a Coda it is a very good match.
Myself with YG Carmel speakers they have no sound of their own and
Your choice electronics is instrumental.that being said the Hegel 200
Is like a good Vacuum tube amp it may not dig to get that least microsecond from an instrument but is natural like you would hear in life and has very good detail and balance with excellent image depth,and tight solid bass,the patented sound engine is what gives it an edge very similar to a class A sounding amp but runs cool. all around
An amp I can listen just listen to and forget about dissecting the music.
your down stream cable,tonal balance,and digital,turntable these will dictate what type of balance you want and how much power,the hegel is very high current a awg 11 gauge or lower cable is recommended.
That is my opinion I have heard all 3 and that is my opinion they are all very good products.

Have not heard this year2013 Coda,heard 2012 model very good gear.
Cannot give a absolute against the Hegel 200,the Hegels balance is a shade warmer, and to make an absolute you would have to have both
In the same system for the day.
