Stereo Times Review on the SPL s900 amplifier

Hey everybody,

My review on the SPL s900 amplifier was just posted today on Stereo Times. If you are shopping for a superlative built, in Germany, with reference level performance in the price bracket of $5000 (the cost is $4500) you might want the s900 in your system. For all the details about why the SPL s900 is a "killer" amplifier take a look at the review.

Thanks, Teajay

I have an SPL Phonos preamp. It has dispatched a couple of highly regarded and much more expensive phono stages. Very high value stuff.

Definitely interested in hearing a real comparison of the Coda and the SPL given the exuberance around both. They seem to both be in a relative price range. Looking forward to more information regarding the two of them.

Hey ddafoe,

Without copping out on your question, both the 5.5 and s900 are superlative amplifiers. The 5.5 has a very neutral presentation overall with beautiful timbres/tonality The s900 also has great pristine colors with a smidgen of over all warmth. They are two of my favorite amplifiers. Neither is superior to the other. Based on personal taste and system synergy would lead to which you would pick for your system. Also, both will drive virtually any speakers with ease.
