Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today

@ lancelock

You may want to look into a more linear sounding tube in your LIO than the 300B as in my experience it's shouldn't even be close between those 2 pre-amps.

Those small octal tubes do sound beautiful and are transparent but when compared to a DHT, it sounds like you are listening to a recording verses actual instruments occupying a space between your speakers with body, texture, reverb and nuances that are unmistakable the hallmarks of a DHT; refinement and precision.

I'm also using a 2A3 DHT Pre and I have never heard this type of sound emanating from my speakers with such delicacy and realism...

That's awesome and synergy is the key 👍

Guys,

Are any of you using Hi-Fi fuses in your Coda Amps?

Thanks,
Wig

@ lancelock

Congrats and a splendid upgrade indeed!

I have heard from other No. 8 users that this amp rarely leaves its Class A rating and if that’s the case, wondering if adding more filter capacitance to the No. 8 would bring it closer to the sound of the No. 16 without the added weight : )

Maybe at some point an upgrade will come out for the No. 8, doubling the capacitance along with a few other mods that makes it even better...
