The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
I had the First Watt J2 and the power reduced in 4 ohm. Loved that amp though!! @aolmrd1241 I think they can. How many brands/amps do you know who have the same blue VU meters? I think McIntosh has a trademark on that..not sure what the legal ter...

@gryphongryph The Supratek is a high gain pre. Inspite of that, both the preamp and the Coda is quiet as a mouse. No noise when music is not playing and components are turned on. I went close and put my ears against the tweeter and there is dead s...

@irave I was running Moon 390 pre with the 330A amp few years back. In my opinion, there is no comparison between the Moon 330A and the S5.5. The S5.5 is in a different league. I haven't heard the Moon new "North" line though but again they are ...

Just wanted to add that I am in Canada and if anyone is interested in any of the Coda products here in Canada, they can contact Al Kaglik at HiFi Art in Winnipeg. He has been great to work with as my Coda dealer and has a great knowledge of Coda p...

@laginz soundstage is wider and there is increased front to back depth, but depending on the recording of course. In my case, I was hoping the soundstage would go beyond the left and right speakers. It was always between the speakers. Unfortunate...

Supratek Owners Thread
I changed my stock rectifier tubes to JJ rectifier tubes in my Supra pre. The new rectifier tubes have about 30 hours on them. Bass seems to be lower than I am used to with the stock rectifier tubes Mick provided.  Do rectifier tubes also need bu...

@gryphongryph totally will do. I have a hunch the Supratek+Coda would be great match but I hope my hunch is true!

@vthokie83 that sounds like it going to be killer combo wise! I’ll be getting my Coda S5.5 next week. It will be: source-->Supratek Signature Grange preamp/phono-->Coda S5.5-->Coincident Super Victory IIIs.

@vthokie83 thanks so much for your impressions. I guess the Caledons + Coda and soon Aric Audio preamp would be a knock out combination. I should be getting my Coda S5.5 amp soon. It will be paired with Supratek Signature Grange preamp. I will ...

@johnah5 placed an order for Silver unit. Are Coda amps generally sensitive to power cords, interconnects, isolation footers? It will be paired with Supratek Grange Signature preamp. Getting excited now to get it..want to extract the most from m...
