Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
Saw ELO, The Stones, Alan Parsons, Iron Maiden (2 times). Last year.  A lot of money but music is a passion/hobby. My friends spend much more on golf and cocktails than music.  
Favorite scream in rock?
Bruce Dickinson . AKA "The Human Air Raid Siren"  The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner.

First Bi Amping Experience
Before the subwoofer made a difference I could notice switching it in andout of system, Now it is not noticble at all. This amp is putting out 1350 watts max vs the Coda at 800 watts. I did no calibration yet. The bass does not seem to be ovepower... 
First Bi Amping Experience
The Coda has a right and left output for the preamp. The Crown has channel 1 and channel 2 inputs. The internal crossovers in the speakers do the work acoording to   the manual.  
First Bi Amping Experience
The input on amp is set at 1.4. Output gain knobs at 100 percent. No clipping or noise. God bless John Entwistle and Stanley Clark.

Was also running a small REL sub before. Will now be listing that on audiomart.😄  
First Bi Amping Experience
I did no sort of calibration. Just listening and hearing wonderful bass. The Coda has been running hard now for 3 hours and is barely warm. Before it would get pretty hot after about 3 hours. Amp was open box $700.00.  
First Bi Amping Experience
Yes  
Integrated amp: Component weight
If weight was not an issue I would suggest the Coda CSIB, It is class AB and can be biased to 3 different power outputs.   
Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range
Do a little research on the Hagerman Trumpet. It is currently 1300,.00 and on sale 15% off Black Friday. Hard to find used. I sold mine as soon as I posted it.   
Ethernet connection for best sound quality
I have an Innuous Zenith running through a Lab 12 Dac. Use all Transparent interconnects. Everything was bought used. Saved over 50 percent  . Way better than my old system. I also drive a Porsche.  
Probably a dumb question
Coda is one of my top picks. I want an integrated though. Where did you purchase from?    
Probably a dumb question
I now have a bunch of new sites bookmarked. Checked them yesterday and again today. Something will soon show up. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Thanks,  Kahlaudio was the type of place I have been looking for. Been on forums for years and this is the first time I saw it mentioned. The fact it is in Jersey and I am in Pa is a plus.
