Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s
@rischa    I used the matching VAC preamp which is also going up for sale at TMR with the amp. It's a fully restored VAC Cla1 Mk III tube linestage with Telefunken NOS tubes in it. It has 6 RCA inputs and 2 RCA outputs plus a set of XLR outputs. I...

FWIW - my Vac Renaissance 70/70 Signature will be listed on TMR (The Music Room) for around $5500. I am shipping it to them tomorrow so it will take 2 weeks before they inspect and list it. This is a $22,000 amp that is factory fresh from VAC and ...

@lynn_olson ​@donsachs I’ve been in touch with David Whitt about the pre amp, he said they are shipping the first build cycle in May of this year. He also stated  that there is a 6 week build cycle. It seems you are still making changes to it at ...

@charles1dad  Yes, it was a very tough decision but I cannot lift the damn thing anymore and re tubing it is nearly $2000. I want to simplify my retired life a bit. I just picked it up from VAC and it is fresh as a daisy for the new owner. New tub...

OK thanks @donsachs   and @lynn_olson        I missed that price when I looked at it the first time online. A significant point you made Don is the fact that it will "happily drive a 10K amp impedance"   I have a new Coda amp on order and the XLR ...

@lynn_olson  - Is the Raven Preamp AES48 standard balanced? They don't have a price listed for it that I can find.  
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
I am going to wait for @vthokie83 to report back on his Motherload XL to make a decision on which preamp to get to pair with my incoming Coda s5.5. I am to the "endgame" point at age 69. I am intrigued by that Coda 07x from the synergy perspective...

The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
I placed my order for my Coda S5.5 in Black today, thank you @vinylvalet for working with me, what a great stand up guy. Recommended. It will be paired with my Legacy Audio Focus XD's and Wavelet II.  Also thanks to @johnah5 for the heads up Agon ...

@johnah5   When will this review be coming out? I cannot find any reviews on this amp.  
Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations
Coda S5.5 can be bridged into monoblocks.  
What are your I2S cable recommendations?
No, I got a Tubulus Argentus instead I found used. I have nothing to compare it to one and done.  
recommend PRAT Integrated amplifiers (not Naim)
I was going to mention the VAC 170i  
Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound.
What about a Prima Luna integrated?
