| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please @lewm, I am grateful for this information, and thank you for the offer to part with one of your chips should it become necessary. In the event that cost were no object, or my budget was stretched, would the recommendation change at all? Once my ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Thank you for the information. I do not foresee the need for multiple tonearms. Hard to discern, but would you state that you prefer the sound one over the other between the Luxman, Denon, and Technics? If so, what are the qualities that make on... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision The OP made a great choice. My Motherlode paired with the Coda 16 has proven to be the most rewarding of combinations in my 30 plus years of obsessing. I began working with Aric over eight years ago and fortunate to be working with him again on a ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @charliee, I have the Coda Model 16 paired with the Aric Audio Motherlode and the results are nothing short of stunning. And both Aric and Doug(Coda) are excellent to work with in regards to their respective knowledge and customer service. | |

| Coda 16 or Pass Labs x350.8 with Magnepan 20.7 Coda without hesitation. I have owned several Pass amps prior to the Coda 16, and none of them measure up sonically. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... Coda Model 16 or the S5.5. I have had several Pass models, the XA60.8, and the 160.8, and each take a back seat to Coda in terms of well...everything. | |

| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing Yes, Aric at Aric Audio should be your next call. His tube gear, easily competes with anything at 3-4X the price. | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? Coda, without hesitation, should be at the top of your list of considerations. | |
| Recommendation for ATC SCM150 Amp/Pre I would definitely reach out to Aric at Aric Audio to discuss having him build a Motherlode specific to your needs. I have had mine paired to the Coda Model 16 to drive some pretty inefficient TAD speakers and the sound is sublime. | |

| Reasonably priced preamplifier You can get a bespoke Aric Audio Motherlode preamp that will far exceed your expectations! Visit his website and call him. | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Coda and Luxman are both good suggestions if you really have to go the SS route. The Aric Audio Motherlode is the best consideration if you still want the tube performance and can live with the nominal tube maintenance. Take a hard pass on Pass... | |
