Thoughts on Coda gear? Any Coda owners out there?

Hey guys!!

Alright! I've owned Coda gear for some time now; and have loved it!! It has all of the trademarks of Krell, and Classe gear, at a slightly lower price, slightly.... I think the build quality and parts quality are second to none! But I never hear about Coda in the audio news, nor do I see any furher advancements in model release other than the genberation 3 gear which came out last year.

Does anyone out there use Coda gear, and am happy with it like I am? Or am I only one of the few? I noticed that you don't see alot for sale; my thinking is that people like it so much, they keep it!?

Any thoughts, views or feedback from current or former Coda owners please advise.

Thanks!

Jeff, not all the Threshold people went to CODA. One very important one went to Pass Labs. I owned a Model 02b preamp, Model 10 and a Model 20 amps in the early 90's. I really liked them, very solid amps. They don't have a real weakness. I left them for a while when I fell for the warmth of a Classe CA-200 for a couple years, but I eventually tired of the touch of darkness. I still use a Classe preamp though. Currently I'm using a Threshold T400, which sounds much like the CODA's, as I remember them. I think the T400 has a tad more sparkle in the highs (not bright by any stretch of the imagination though), but has the same smooth midrange and solid bass as the CODA equipment. All in all, CODA is a very good value, and I still recommend it highly.

Regards,
John
