| No love for Legacy Audio I went and listened to them in Springfield, IL with my own CD with some of my favorite tracks. Quality speaker, nice sound but not my cup of tea. | |
| Any Coda owners out there? I have an unmodded Coda #16 amplifier in my reference system. I am most pleased with the sound. Powerful, dynamic, crystalline, and spacious. The downside is that, like my Pass Labs amps, they are 110# so u risk herniation your lumbar spine eve... | |
| Which mono power amp would you choose and why? I have a pair of Ampzilla 200 wpc monoblocks in my exercise room system. They have of course been modded by Doug Jesse of ASi Teknology and sound sublime. These occasionally show up on the used market. I have also a pair of JC1 monoblocks that hav... | |
| Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers Agree with rebuilding the crossover. It is unadulterated junk. Asi Teknology rebuilt mine and put the crossover in an external box. Tremendous upgrade. I also ran Canary monoblock tube amplifiers on them and they sounded great. Tube power was 14... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Coda Continuum #16 amp runs slightly warm but nowhere near hot. I buy my amps based on my ears. I still think the best Class D GAN Fet amp that I have listened to is probably a touch better on the top end but clearly not as hefty on the bottom end... | |
| Looking for preamp recommendation I have very effectively paired a Supratek as well as a Don Sachs tube preamp with a PassLabs X250.5 amp. Right now I am listening to this amp being driven by a solid state SPL Elector preamp and hearing glorious sound. | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? Another fine power condition is the Puritan PSM 156 and Core Power Tecnology. I have both and they are excellent. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning I have the Puritan 156 and also run a sine wave rebalancer in front of it. I run everything off the Puritan except my Coda #16 amp. Awesome product for sure. I had a hum in my system that the Puritan attenuated by75% and in combination with the... | |

| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? Audio GD tube preamp with power regenerator Don Sachs preamp Supratek Black Ice hybrid (sleeper, surprisingly good) Qualified by being the best that I have heard/owned.... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? The Grover Huffman Pharoah power cable fits your bill and, new, it is in your price range. I just get mine and have been very impressed with the soundstage and instrument separation that it brought to my highly resolving system. I have it plugged ... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week The pairing of the SPL Elector preamp and the PassLabs X250.5 is quite good. The sound is spacious, clear, dimensional with tube-like tone colors. I suspect that this combo will work well for u. | |
| Why would a moderator remove a cable review? Censorship was overcome and I met lancelock and listened to his awesome two channel stereo set up. | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? I recently heard @lancelock's system. Really nice sonics driven by a low power tube LTA amp and Backert preamp. Since none of this equipment is a live performance, despite much inflated hyperbole about equipment getting u there, listen and exper... |
