| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? Hi yyzsantabarbara: I have been using VAC preamplifiers for 20 years and my Signature IIa mates beautifully with the Coda 16.0, making a great amplifier even better! I truly have no interest in trying other preamplifiers as all my VACs have mate... | |
| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? Thank you all for your most helpful comments! I am thoroughly enjoying my original KEF Blade 2s driven by my Coda 16.0. Can’t really justify spending the additional funds on the new Metas or the time in selling my like new originals. My 66 yo hea... | |
| Are the KEF Blade/Blade 2 Metas a Significant Upgrade from Blade? Thanks; you may be correct. I’ve been reading some owner reviews of Blade Meta on the KEF Owners Group on Facebook, but most are from Europe. I’ll try giving KEF USA a call. | |

Today, dealers work in an almost impossible environment with audiophiles wanting to audition the equipment of interest and then buy at the cheapest price, usually online or via no... | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers I am planning to continue using my VAC Renaissance mkV line/phono preamplifier with the 16.0 or #8. Thank you for recommending I phone Mr Dale. | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers What makes the Coda 16.0 that much more expensive and heavier than the #8? I believe I read they both have a 3000 VA transformer.Thanks! | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers Thanks laaudionut! I like your choice. I’m less interested in meters and other bling as I get older….just a great amplifier, with excellent connectors/posts, in an attractive case. I appreciate your input as always. | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers Can Coda 16.0 owners comment on the utility of front panel meters please. They are attractive but add $2500 to cost. I’m getting ready to make a decision shortly. Thanks everyone! | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers Thank you laaudionut! Your testimonial as an owner is most helpful! | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers Thank you yyzsantabarbara for your valuable opinion and directing me to the informative review! Coda has obviously passed under my radar for a while. | |
| Thoughts on VAC preamplifiers to drive D’Agostino power amplifiers? Thoughts? Thanks for that, ebm! | |
| Thoughts on VAC preamplifiers to drive D’Agostino power amplifiers? Thoughts? Thanks to all. Guess I’ll take my preamp on a road trip to a D’Agostino dealer. Your points are well taken and prudent. The finest individual components, even when electrically compatible, may not be synergistic or pleasing together… especially a... | |
| Thoughts on VAC preamplifiers to drive D’Agostino power amplifiers? Thoughts? ebm: thanks very much for your post. Is your recommendation based on personal experience with a VAC pre-D’Agostino amp in your system? Thanks! | |
| Thoughts on VAC preamplifiers to drive D’Agostino power amplifiers? Thoughts? Thanks so much; actually I have the VAC preamplifier (Sig mkIIA) and I was wondering if anyone had matched a VAC preamplifier with any of the D’Agostino Momentum or Progression amplifiers. Yes; I like and have tried the VAC amplifiers. This time I... | |
