| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 You are correct! The question is...why is the back of the amp labelled the reverse of virtually all other HIFI equipment? I plan on contacting Coda tomorrow to ask about this and why the input impedance is so low. ; ) | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @sim_audio_nerd. "Not sure why Coda has it like that in the manual..very confusing" @ Markmuse: From pictures I have seen, the labeling on the amp is the same as in the manual. Maybe the owner is dyslexic? | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! This has been (kinda) covered before, but I can't get over that the R&L inputs and speaker outputs are reversed as per the owner's manual. Any amp I have owned has the R&L connections "correct when facing the amp. So, does one just ignore ... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @milipai Both started out as modifiers or "tweakers" (to some), before they started to manufacture their own equipment. In fact, I used to own a Modwright Oppo 205. @ricevs at one time also made amps in addition to modding or "tweaking" other’s p... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @arafiq "So on one hand we have a designer/builder/entrepreneur who has been building and selling top quality products for a number of years. On the other hand, we have a ..... tweaker, who modifies other people's original designs. Hmm... who is... | |
| Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700 Check out the Van Alstine monos, well within your budget or the SPL Performer S-1200 stereo amp, also within your budget. Stable down to 2 ohms! | |
| Could Class D really be that good? In an effort to get things back to a "friendlier" tone...does anyone have any experience with the hybrid GaN FeT amps from "Response Audio"? One amp uses a 12au7 tube input stage while another amp other uses a DHT 300B tube input stage. They look ... | |

| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Which begs the question...why do some manufacturers design amps with such low input impedance in the first place? Is it to limit equipment that can be used from other companies? | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @irave Don't do it...the amp will explode! 😉 If it is a truly balanced design, that should not be an issue. I have a SPL Performer S1200 amp with both balanced and RCA inputs. I also use a tubed preamp with balanced and RCA outputs. (Some preamp... | |
| This One has Me Stumped Actually, the input impedance is 22k ohms while the output impedance is 25 ohms RCA and 50 ohms XLR, therefore an easy load for virtually any amp. Tough one. Have you tried different ICs? | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? Some yes and some no! | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... @bigtwin Back at ya! | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... @bigtwin "Vinyl strikes me as a waste in 2024." Really! The OP was not asking for opinions on what people think of vinyl. He is looking for..."advice and recommendations for a turntable rig." I don’t see how your opinion helped him. Apparently, ... | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... Don't let the vinyl naysayers affect your decision! Yes, it needs patience and room (to store records) but the rewards are worth it to many. I use both digital (CDs and internet radio)l and analog media and while digital is certainly convenient, ... |
