| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 Thanks Teajay and glad to hear the S5.5 doubles down to 100 Class A watts into 4 ohm. Interestingly enough, the No. 16 amplifier is reported to deliver the first 100 watts as Class A into 8 ohms or 4 ohms, and above 100 watts, it's Cla... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 Hi Terry, do you have solid confirmation from Doug at Coda that the S5.5 puts out 100wpc at 4 ohm in Class A, not AB (or some hybrid?)? I recommend checking on this just to be sure just for sake of accuracy. The S5.5 is sonic... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @mahgister Thanks and good points. Best, 😊 | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @ahuvia Thank you for the insight you provided which intelligently makes total sense, at least to me. Taking the time to interject such worthwhile, edifying comments can only benefit those who are open to what you are saying. The comp... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @markmuse Thank you for your helpful input. I am in no rush as well, and am definitely interested in how the Backert Rhythm/ S5.5 performs vs the Backert/AGD with the speaker(s) you have in your system. Please keep us posted. Thanks ag... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @dgarretson Bingo! makes sense | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @jceahodges I am in a similar search for a pre amp for the S5.5 for my 99db Forte 3’s and from just doing paper research on preamp, am leaning towards Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.4 or Rhythm 1.4 balanced line stage. Would have to part with my ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @minatophase3 I wouldn't rush into anything. See how the S5.5 sounds off the Accuphase. It may totally meet or exceed your expectations. I have two 45 yr old preamps that still sound great (to me), a Mac C27 (SS) and an ARC SP-8 (8 tu... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @hanki Jeff, Outstanding review and your system is absolutely awesome. Your report in conjunction with Terry’s heads up on GON clinched my decision for an amp. S5.5. Thank you! Question now is why should any audiophile look anywhere else? COD... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @minatophase3 I have no experience with any of the Coda preamps; however, suggest taking an online look at Terry London’s review in Stereo Times on the 07X. Based on his findings, the 07x sounds absolutely phenomenal! It would be surprising if t... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @wspohn You have found wisdom or it has found you! That may ultimately be the most satisfying component of any audio system. Enjoy the music! | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @audiodwebe You have answered your own question and diagnosis is you are perfectly normal. You have self treated through gained wisdom and realize all you have to do is swap your own gear around. It’s all about the endorphins from change. That’s... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @wspohn Totally agree, after a few decades of changing out gear came to realize it is the change itself that gets the endorphins going. No need to buy new stuff (it’s all just same old wine in new bottles at higher $$$). Just keep a couple decen... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @aw-agd Thank you for the information on current for the AGD Class D amps. I was just curious and actually those current values are quite excellent for Class D topology imo. The AGD amps do look to be excellent instruments getting great reviews. ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Vthokie83, Thank you for your reply and we’ll patiently wait for your S5.5 and Caladan’s to settle in. Looking forward to your review comments on both the S5.5 and Caladan’s, as well as the Motherlode XL down the road. Not sure if you have any e... |
