| Preamp for my CODA 5.5 amp To answer the OP’s question I use a Luxman C900U preamp with the Coda S5.5. It was what I had when I purchased the amp. I’ve been considering changing preamps myself but have to admit that the combination is pretty darn good as is. I’m sure there ... | |
| Speakers for a coda 5.5 amp I have the Coda S5.5 paired with NSMT Clairvoyant System 2 speakers. The speakers are 94db and 4ohm minimum impedance. It is a great match. I couldn’t be happier. Plenty of power and effortless dynamics. Terry London of Stereo Times has the same s... | |
| What are the best subwoofers you have heard for music. Speed, Musicality and integration I switched from JL Audio Fathom F112’s to NSMT Sub Duos They retail for $4,495 each. They are very easy to integrate and give me the best bass I’ve ever had. The next model down is called the Bass Foundation which are $2,500 each. I have not hea... | |
| Creativity on artists I dislike I believe that The Beatles song that has the word “poop” in it is called Bad Boy. It was actually written by Larry Williams. No cheating. | |
| Coda Service Experience I recently had a brand new Coda amp lose a channel due to a bad power surge along with another component on the same circuit. Their service was fantastic. I recommend that you contact the dealer that you acquired the amp from first. If you bought... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC This DAC sounds like another winner! I’ve bought both a Coda S5.5 amp and NSMT Clairvoyant System 2 speakers at Terry’s recommendation and all I can say is that he was spot on in all aspects with both items. These are the best two audio purchases... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Hey Terry. Great review! You articulated better than I could exactly what I’m hearing from my S5.5 and I have completely different speakers. I think it is one of the best bargains in audio. Jeff | |
| Power cords: Kimber Kable Palladium I use the Rhodium version. It is quite a bit more open and increases dynamics and detail. The bass is also a bit tighter. To connect the bare wire to the plugs I use Furutech FP 209-10(R) spade terminals. This makes it easier as the cord wire is v... | |

| Power cords: Kimber Kable Palladium I have four of these cables that I purchased used at very good prices. They perform great in my opinion. I don’t think I’ll be upgrading anytime soon. If you want to improve them even further swap out the ends with Furutech NFC connectors. It’s ea... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! I’m using Kubala Sosna Elation interconnects (xlr) and speaker cables. They are very open, detailed, weighty and slightly warm. They seem to be a great match for the S5.5 and the rest of my system. I now have over 120 hours on the amp and it i... | |
| Magico Owners - what are you using for amplification? I have a pair of original Magico S5 speakers. I was using a Luxman M900U stereo amplifier which works very well. Combined with the matching C900U preamp it was great. After 7 years using this combo I had the itch to change. I just purchased a Coda... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Hi guys. Sorry for the long silence on my part. Quick explanation is that we had a heavy snow storm here on Saturday and we lost power which caused a big power surge that took our both of my components on one circuit. Unfortunately one of them wa... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Thanks firefly. I don’t think you can go wrong with the S5.5. In my review I meant to say about the Magico’s that they are sealed enclosures not ported. My error in writing. Jeff | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! So here are my first impressions of my new S5.5 amp. It now has about 23 hours on it and still burning in. As a reference I have Magico S5 speakers, a Luxman M900U amplifier, Luxman C 900U preamp, Esoteric K-01x CD player, VPI Prime Signature turn... |
