| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week I didn’t think I would part with it, but my new modded 1960’s Altec Lansing 1570B mono blocks are so damn good. I will end up selling the Coda 16. I just don’t want to ship this 110 lb. Beast. | |
| My quest for a pair of Tonian Labs speakers was finally realized Yesterday I heard the Tonian speakers at The Show in Newport a few years back and I can say they were the most realistic sounding speakers I’ve ever heard. He was playing a drum track he recorded and if I closed my eyes I would have thought the drum kit was... | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? I have the new DS Audio optical cartridge and its the biggest analog upgrade I’ve done. Highly recommended. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @jaymark congratulations I don’t think you will be disappointed. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @jaymark The #16 is not as big as as my old Plinius amp for example, but don’t let that fool you. Like your X250.5 it weighs 110 lbs. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @decooney i have not tried any other Van Alstine amps. I bought that one from David Janszen | |
| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home Don’t forget if you don’t get a permit or use a licensed electrician and you have a fire in your home you can forget your insurance company giving you a dime. They will use any excuse to not pay a claim. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @rlovendale the #16 sounds better to me than both of those SS amps. I thought the Plinius was too warm. The AVA FET400, even though not class A was a decent sounding amp with excellent bass but not on the level of the Coda #16. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @decooney 60’s vintage Altec Lansing 1570B built by John Tucker (Exempler Audio) they use (2) 811A tubes in each mono block and produce 165 watts per channel. These mods surpass Tom Tutay’s mods. Sounds like a high powered SET. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @smodtactical Of that bunch I can firmly put the #16 at the top of the heap but a special shout-out to the 35 year old Mirror Image Audio 1.1 SB for competing with the best current day amps. My friend (Dave Rayden) used to own the company. | |

| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home This is the best upgrade I’ve made. Not a subtle upgrade by any means especially if you have a power hungry SS amp. I did not know the capability of my Coda #16 amp until I did this. I wished I had done it sooner. | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today I absolutely love my Coda #16. It is the best SS amp I’ve ever owned. The only thing that could make me part with it would be the custom built tube mono blocks that will be arriving this week and that’s a maybe. | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp In my Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 I use NOS 12SN7’s with the proper adapters in place of 12AU7’s and the results are wonderful. | |
| Silver Speaker Cables @charliee I'm not sure when you last tried to contact him but it was only a few months ago that he had Quadruple bypass surgery. I watched my father go through the same surgery and I know it takes a while to comeback from. He has been working on... |
