Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today
@wig Im not done with the LIO. I do have some tube rolling to do. My preference for the LTA and having synergy with these particular components is more a testament to the quality of the ZOTL pre. I can take nothing away from the DHT pre. I absolut... 
Vtl 5.5 series 1, David Berning TF-10 or Melos SHA-Gold?
I believe Linear Tube Audio will be offering a new Updated phono Pre based on David Berning’s TF-10 design. It might be worth waiting a couple of months.

@teajay After giving the #8 a good run in over the last week I can report only the sweetness of quality sound. Im in agreement with the review that this amp has amazing dynamics, holographic depth, micro detail galore and just smooth, probably bec... 
Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new.
I have Janszen zA2.1 hybrid electrostats and after many amps nothing makes them sing like my Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40. This amp has power seemingly far beyond its 40 watts.if your want SS then I can wholeheartedly recommend the Coda #8.

@garbo can you tell us more about the Amazon streaming? How is the quality? Can you use Jriver or Roon?

@teajay I will chime in on the #8 with some more break-in. After a bit more run-in I will put the good 300B tubes back in the Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT and spend some time critical listening. So far I’m very happy.Lance

My #8 arrived today and I have to agree with teajay and the other new owners. Seaglance, I am powering my 85db 4 Ohm speakers to my normal listening levels, loud to me and the needle on the meters barely move. Plenty of class A watts for sure.Lance 
If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this.
@ericmbass I have Janszen zA2.1 speakers with Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 and Preamp. This is a combination to make a jazz enthusiast weep. I finally got this setup in a bigger room so the speakers can breath a little and they are beautiful to look a...

@seaglanceI have TAD ME-1, 85db, 4 Ohm speakers. My new No. 8 amp will arrive next week. My amp will have meters so I should be able to monitor when it leaves class A and goes into class AB. I will report back to you.Lance

@teajay That’s good to hear but if my audiophilia gets out of control, Mike at Audio Archon said he would take it back on a trade.

@tom6897 I was just kidding around. As nice as the 16 sounds. The No. 8 is more in my price range right now and I don’t think I’m going to be disappointed.

Damnit Terry, I purchased and have the No. 8 amp on the way but after reading you’re review I’m already jonesing for the 16. 
Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25
I purchased and am waiting for a CODA Contimuum #8 amp to arrive. I’m betting the other guys from the old Threshold crew can build a good amp. 
Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions
I have TAD ME-1 speakers and a Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT preamp. I have a Coda Contiuum #8 amplifier on the way and I’m expecting a good result. I will report back.

@mapman All is good here, listening to a lot of music these days. Since I’m not an engineer, I won’t be giving any satisfactory reasons for the better sound except those indispensable tools, my ears. Like you say perhaps reclocking, reduced jitter...
