| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier I agree with Terry. I had the Coda Model 11 and (regretfully) sold it some years ago. I am less than one week into my new Model 16, and it is nothing short of stunning! This piece will stay in my collection indefinitely! And for reference, I parte... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Up until recently, I enjoyed immensely my Pass XA60.8's. Needing a bit more power for my hungry TAD's, I now have a Coda Model 16 and am blown away with the sound. Enticing, tube like texture, punch and soundstage aplomb. You are welcome! | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week Teajay-My Coda Model 16 is currently in production, according to Doug, and should arrive in the next couple of weeks. I am beyond thrilled hear it in my system! I was very reluctant to sell my Pass XA60.8's, but I can take solace in knowing that t... | |
| To those who have moved on from Tube Research Labs Dude and/or Samson You would be quickly remorseful should you decide and part with TRL gear. For some time I coveted(and still do) The Dude, and tried to great lengths to seek out and procure the highly reviewed beast to no avail. I then worked with Aric at Aric Aud... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 SET Aric is a true gentleman, professional in his approach, and has proven to be an invaluable asset to the audio community! | |
| Luxman dealers I agree with Erik...despite his West Coast presence, Mike at Excel Audio in Newport Beach has a full Luxman lineup at far less than retail for new gear. I have bought from him on several occasions and he is professional in every manner. | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? I second the suggestion of reaching out to Aric of Aric Audio! I have the original Motherlode mated with a pair of XA60.8's and it is total audio nirvana. Far outperforms my old Pass XP20, Mac 2300, or Arc Reference 5. | |
| seeking recommendations for a preamp Check out Aric Audio. Aric is a great guy to work with , and will build a completely bespoke preamp to your exact specifications, should you desire. Many would also suggest Don Sachs, and his gear is great, but Aric's attention to customer service... | |

| Best 6NS7 Preamp for a Pass Labs XA25 amp Another recommendation for Aric Audio! I have a pair of XA60.8 and use the very first Motherlode preamp from Aric. It bests any piece I had in the system prior! Call him. | |

| Full feature preamp $1500 Go to Aric Audio's site, then give him a call. | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Get over your fascination with B&W...as it has been mentioned, far overrated. | |
| Aric Audio? First Watt? PrimaLuna? Upsacale Audio will absolutely try to push their product...they are as self serving as they come. I own both Aric Audio gear and Pass gear and will recommend with no hesitation reaching out to Aric at Aric Audio. I have his Motherlode pre, and ha... | |
| Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC Your Focal's are likely the reason for your merry-go-round like set up. Great midrange, but lack in everything else. I know because I had them for a couple of months. Before the Sopra II, I had a pair of PSB Stratus Gold(and still do awaiting a se... |
