From my experience less powerful amps tend to have slightly better tonality than more powerful amps even from the same manufacturer. I believe this may relate to a reduced number of output transistor pairs or output tube pairs. This has been my experience with both Coda and VAC. Enjoy!
The Stereo Times Coda S5.5 amplifier just posted today. Thanks guys
Just wanted to inform and thank all the Gon members who have participated on the "Petite Beast" Coda S5.5 thread that the Stereo Times review went live this morning. The thank you is for sharing your experiences with the S5.5 in your systems, which became part of my review. I hope my review explains why this is a special amplifier in a way that does justice to it.
Thanks again, Teajay (Terry London)
