| Tube power amplifier low static on one channel Found it! It was one power tube which I isolated by switching channels and following the static. The power tubes are new stock so I didn't think it could be them but it was. Thanks for the help. jh | |
| Tube power amplifier low static on one channel Ok great idea. I did some research and the sound a bad filter cap makes is a hum. I don't have a hum it is a changing low level static. Will do the power tubes and update the post. jh | |
| Tube power amplifier low static on one channel Ah will have it checked. If the filter cap is good next item? jh | |

| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid I second Aric Audio and LTA. I just got in for review the LTA Velo and it is a keeper. Much wider deeper and resolving soundstage without changing the tone of my amps. Love it. Had Aric Audio integrated amp and he knows how to build tube gear. JH | |

| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Hey gryphongryph, I have an isolation transformer that has a digital read out of how many watts are consumed and the S5.5 at idle is less then 90 watts. I never turn it off and it runs warm but not hot. Teajay | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today Hey jimbones, Take a look at my Stereo Times review on the 07x which will give you the details of why this is one of my favorite solid state preamplifiers. Teajay | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Hey vthokie83, I totally agree with your statement, "all beautifully, and with out strain". I have now tried the S5.5 with over seven different types of speakers and each was driven splendidly at all volume levels. This amplifier lives up to its ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Jeez Guys, Like all amplifiers I have ever owned when you face the front of the amp the left input/speaker wire output is on the left and the right input/speaker wire output is on the right. Regardless of the manual this is a no brainer. The S5... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Hey charliee, That’s a great question. It depends on what speakers I’m using with S5.5 in the system. For example the Musician Audio’s Knight 1 speaker is a great two-way design that has a touch of overall warmth/fullness. Therefore, I like the s... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Hey Jeff, Thanks for your kind words towards my review. Regarding the S5.5 as being one of the best bargains in audio, I just got an Email from a listener who replaced a pair of $14000 mono-blocks with the S5.5 because it performed at a higher le... | |
| The Stereo Times Coda S5.5 amplifier just posted today. Thanks guys Hey soix, 1) Fully balanced 2) I do leave it on 24/7 and it gets relatively hot, but not hideously so. 3) When taken out of stand-by, I would say about twenty minutes to start to sing. 4) The S5.5 gets the tonality/colors of the AricAudio tube... | |
