| Why hasn’t B&W ever entered the ultra hi-end for speakers? They sell more quality loudspeakers than almost anyone else as is, they just sold a pair of 804 D3s to me, and I didn't give a damn that they don't have a million dollar flagship. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @tomlhuffman yeah I bet the Ulfberhts rock driven by the JC1s! My B&W 804 D3s dip down under 3 ohms at certain points too, can actually see that happening on the meters. Personally I find the JC1s (1st generation at least) to be a bit hard-edg... | |

| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week Bought the No. 8 based on Terry's review, amazing amp for 6K retail, it is better than anything under 10K that I have heard by a significant margin, and I have heard a lot of amps. I have yet to go beyond the 18 watts of Class A power, based on wh... | |
| Ennio Morricone has passed away Why does it feel so personal when a guy like this dies? It is like someone in your family that you truly cared for has died, not some Italian dude you never met. | |
| Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound Lumin and Auralic make good transports and have decent control apps so you can run Tidal & Qobuz plus add a NAS, thereby avoiding the $$$ Roon trap. I would then save for a good DAC like a denafrips pontus, then get the power supply upgrade fo... | |
| Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers If it doesnt have to be monos and tubes then get the SS CODA No. 8, Version 2.250/500/1000 watts into 8/4/2 ohms, the 1st 12 watts pure Class A.I have Version 1 with a tube pre driving B&W 804 D3s @ 87 db sensitivity LOUD without breaking a sw... | |
| Budget streaming amp The Powernode is sonically the best choice.IMHO the best sub $1000 amp/streamer is the Marantz pm7000n - check out the online reviews. I have it in my office system hooked up to some LS50s and am ecstatic about the sound/features/value of the setup. | |
| Hegel H390, Lyngdorf TDAI 3400, or Naim Nova for my B&W 802D2 speakers? Buy a high current amp that is linear. I bought a CODA No. 8 amp with 150/300/600 watts into 8/4/2 ohms, and since the moment I hooked it up to my 702 S2s and pushed the proverbial play button, my jaw has yet to leave the floor. I'd had no idea wh... | |
| Replace Ayre Codex with Topping D90 DAC @furiouslyadrift is that an Audio Science Review verdict or just your own 2 cents? If that is your 2 cents fair enough, if it is courtesy of the ASR crew then it is a measurements verdict, nothing to do with the sound. | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion I have an FPGA dac from PS Audio and it sounds analog to me, and measures so poorly that the Audio Science review guy gave it an "award". | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? Alone definitely unless it is my bro who enjoys good sound, not like my friends and family who prefer their iPhones. | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier I do not post often as I come here mostly to learn, but having recently purchased a No. 8 amp (Version 1 for 18 watts of Class A bias 150/300/600 watts into 8/4/2 ohms) I thought I'd share my experience.To keep it short and to the point, it is the... | |
