Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience
Hey Mountainsong.  I PM’ed you my response to your request a couple of days ago but my response seems stuck waiting for moderator review. Don’t know why it’s taking so long.   
Any love for Cullen Cables?
I’ve owned several of their power cords over the years. Great value for their performance. I still use a few of them in my system but have changed some power cord on more critical components to more expensive ones. Do the more expensive cables sou... 
Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience
I believe I mentioned my experience using a Luxman m900u with my Magico S5’s earlier in this thread. If you would like more information on my experience please let me know.   
Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience
FWIW I’ll give you my experience for driving a pair of Magico S5’s. I started out using a Luxman m900u. I thought it sounded great. Then I switched to a Coda S5.5 amp as I’d had the Luxman for a long time and had the itch to change to something ne... 
Chevy Silverado Truck Spanish Ads on Audiogon
I’ve been getting them also.  This morning it was so bad like every 5 to 10 seconds I had to abort reading the forum. The only way to get out of it was to go back and start over.  After a while I gave up. Extremely annoying.   
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...
