Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000

I have heard them sounding superb with the Yamaha AS 3200 integrated.Maybe too obvious?

I heard the Yamaha M-5000 stack with the NS5000 and I said pass.

I found out that I can sell one of my headphone amps tonight after finally setting up my CODA #16 as a headphone amp. I am using a custom made 25 foot cable to the amp. It sounded great and looks a bit crazy.

What that means is that I can replace the modded Peachtree GAN1 with a separate amp fairly soon. The GAN1 can be used for headphone duty. I think I will give the German SPL s1200 amp a shot with my Benchmark LA4 preamp. Never heard it but people are saying things about it that match what I am looking for.

@yyzsantabarbara  I am about 9 feet away and they are about 8-9 feet apart.

Is coda warmer than pass ?

I think Pass is warmer than both the CODA and KRELL XD I owned. I have not owned PASS but have heard them a few times.

There is a difference in sound between Pass’s class A vs AB stuff.  The warmer, more liquid sound is Class A where the AB stuff is less so.  You should not assume the AB stuff sounds the same.  Be careful and talk about specific models.  Note that poster above was looking at warmer amps vs his 350.8.
