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


I's be interested to hear your impressions, if you have.

 

Thanks!

i have discussed this on other threads, i vividly recall getting the much ballyhoo-ed jeff rowland class d shoebox mono’s back in the 2010 time frame, paid a pretty penny for them back then, think it was 3500 for the pair... beautiful as they were to look at, the sound was a total disappointment... typical early days class d sound - greyed out tonal color, lifeless treble, no air or sparkle, unnatural decay, while bass was good - sold them within a month

am sure in the ensuing decade, with successive iterations, the product has been improved sonically, but i have no desire to try again... i just feel with that brand, the money is put towards the sexy milled faceplate as much as the innards and actual performance...

No, for me I am not brought to tears by music listening to a transitor radio. At least not to date 🙂.

get panasonic handheld am radio, open case, swap out caps for duelunds, rewire with audio note silver, the tears will flow ...🤣😂😁

@whipsaw

i share your sentiments about coda’s looks

obviously coda folks are off the same family tree as nelson pass from the threshold days, i too have often wondered how the amps compare, but have never pulled the trigger to try one

with my various pass and fw amps (int150 xa25 xa30.5 f5 f6), from the solid state side, imo it is hard to want for anything more in terms sonics, attentiveness to customers and build quality

there are indeed avid coda supporters out there, some quite vocal...
