Has anyone compared the Coda CSib to a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2?

I owned the Coda 07x preamp and #8 amplifier. I honestly just did not like the 07X at all. I was patient and tried to hear something special, but in the end it sounded rather small and flat in my system. I know others love it. Just not my experience.

The #8 amplifier was very good, but just didn’t do it for me. It has a clean and powerful SS sound. After a couple of months I found it did not satisfy my musical cravings. Very dynamic, clean, extended lows and highs covering all the Aphile descriptions very well. In the end I found it lacked the human touch and natural tone I wanted. Just not engaging enough for my tastes. It certainly demonstrated some sonically impressive feats of strength, however I was looking for something that would connect me more to the music. Something more appealing to the heart vs head if you will.

While I have not heard their integrated I am confident it’s sound would be cut from the same sonic cloth as these separates. Wether the Coda sound satisfies you will depend on what you are looking for sonically in your system.

Well built gear that will appeal to many for sure. Dead quiet in operation and a reputation of good customer service. 

All things in audio are subjective. This is one thing that is always true! No, for me I am not brought to tears by music listening to a transitor radio. At least not to date 🙂.
 

For me, I need a system that truly excels in realism. The cool thing is even “realism” is subjective as I suppose differing realism cues are important to many of us. Enjoy your Coda gear and I will continue to enjoy my Circle Labs A200. Many great choices for our subjective likes and desires.
