GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
@johngp I did not realize until I looked up the weight on my PassLabs X250.5 that it is virtually the same weight as the Coda 16. So, I can grudgingly manage the weight and size. I have been torn between the 8 and 16. My audiophile disease is so b...

@lancelock how do u park the Coda 16 ? Move it around? It seems like it is a monster size/weight wise. Well, the question is moot cause the X250.5 weighs 110#.  I should be able to handle it.  Now, the price tag....  
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
I am debating the 8 vs the 16.  I am curious how my fellow audiophiles park an amp as big and heavy as the 16.  Just get a couple of young strong kids to lift it and set in a spot not to be disturbed?  Set it on a stand with wheels that lock?  I h...

@twoleftears I actually heard that combo and later talked to Clayton who was there.  Actually, I did not like the sound of that combination.

Damn the Coda #16 seems awfully enticing....

@tvad thanks for the amp recommendations. I will check those amps out.  Do u have Spatial X5 speakers?

@yyzsantabarbara I really like the Voyager GAN but after switching in the Ampzilla monoblocks, i realized its leaner tonality.  It is obviously not a wpc issue cause the Ampzilla is only 200 wpc.  I plan on keeping it, at least for now.

I am in the market for a new amp for my reference system. I had LSA Voyager GAN 350 wpc class D amp in there for a good while. Lovely amp with crystalline extended highs and a beautiful midrange. However, to my ears, the midbass presence and meat ... 
Canary Audio Preamps Any Good?
Canary makes fine sounding tube preamps. I own their 4 box monoblock preamp.  
Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes.
I love tube preamps.  I have in play now both tube and solid state.   Audio GD, Don Sachs and Supratek all make fine sounding tube preamps.  The Black Ice hybrid preamp is really good - especially if u replace the stock TungSol tube with a Linlai ... 
What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?
I vote for Zavfino and Grover Huffman cables.  Both make a full spread of power, interconnect and speaker cables.  I have Cullen Cables as well and those cables were very solid.  I did though hear that Patrick Cullen is no longer an independent op... 
A Grounding Cable Question for those who know and own this addtion to their system.....
I now have a higher level GutWire grounding cable in my reference system and am even more impressed than I was with their entry level grounding cable.  It won't be coming out of my rig....  
Flexible Carbon/Graphene Analog
I am using their carbon/graphene digital cable am am quite impressed.  
Clayton Shaw (Spatial Audio) visits Danny Richie (GR Research), with his X4 loudspeaker.
I have the Spatial X5s in my reference system.  They are superb speakers with an expansive, clean/pristine soundscape with nice energy.  I love these speakers.  Do they have a downside?  Well yes, they take forever to break in with the bottom end ... 
Zavfino
@cd45123 I just have the Pharoah speaker cables. I have the Zavfino Silver Dart graphene interconnects. This combination sounds intoxicatingly clean, spacious, detailed with just the right amount of liquidity.
